What is Reishi Mushroom Extract?
Reishi mushrooms, scientifically known as Ganoderma lucidum, have been used in traditional Asian medicine for centuries, more for medicinal purposes than nutritional value. These mushrooms contain many active compounds such as triterpenoids, beta-glucans and peptidoglycans which are believed to be the health benefits. Unlike other mushrooms used in cooking reishi mushrooms are consumed for their pharmaceutical properties.
In Chinese “lingzhi” means “spiritual potency” and “immortality” which is the deep cultural significance of reishi mushrooms for health and longevity.
Historically reishi mushrooms were reserved for royalty and the elite, it’s a symbol of their prestige in traditional medicine.
Today reishi mushroom extract is known for:
- stress relief
- sleep
- fatigue relief
- immune balance
In Eastern medicine reishi mushrooms is known for its immune boosting properties, it influences genes in white blood cells and the body’s defense mechanism. This ancient remedy is still popular in modern wellness world, a mix of historical reverence and modern benefits.
Reishi Mushroom Extract Benefits
Reishi mushroom extract benefits are many and diverse, rooted in traditional texts like Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing which has been documenting its medicinal properties for centuries. Modern studies are still exploring reishi’s effect on immune system, quality of life and beyond. Let’s look into the specific ways reishi mushroom extract can benefit your health.
From boosting immune system to potentially helping cancer treatment, heart health, fatigue relief and antioxidant properties reishi extract is a holistic approach to wellness. Each of these benefits is backed by historical use and modern research so it’s a good reason to add reishi to your regimen.
Immune System
Reishi mushrooms are good for immune function and stress relief so it’s a popular medicinal mushroom. Research shows that reishi can influence inflammation pathways in white blood cells and modulate immune response. This immune boosting property is very useful in today’s fast pace world where stress and environmental factors can compromise our immune system.
Current studies are digging deeper into the chemical composition of reishi mushrooms to know its efficacy and safety for different health conditions. By influencing genes in white blood cells reishi mushrooms can help boost the body’s natural defense mechanism, a strong shield against diseases and infections. So reishi is a good addition to any immune support regimen.
Cancer Treatment
Reishi mushroom extract has shown to improve quality of life of cancer patients especially those undergoing chemotherapy. Clinical trials show that reishi can improve emotional well being and overall health of cancer patients but more studies are needed to confirm these benefits. The potential of reishi in cancer treatment lies in its ability to modulate immune response and possibly inhibit cancer cell growth.
Despite these promising findings more large scale randomized controlled trials are needed to prove the safety and efficacy of reishi mushroom products in cancer treatment. Current studies are saying more clinical trials are needed to get definitive results about reishi’s therapeutic effect.
As more research unfolds reishi mushrooms may be part of complementary cancer therapy.
Heart Health
Reishi mushrooms can be beneficial for heart health, high HDL (good) cholesterol and low triglycerides. These can lead to lower blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors so reishi is a good supplement for heart health. But for those with low blood pressure or on blood pressure medication should exercise caution when using reishi mushroom as it can increase bleeding risk.
Research also shows that reishi mushrooms don’t lower cholesterol levels in diabetics and those with high cholesterol so its cardiovascular benefits may be more complex than what we thought. But the potential of reishi for heart health is still an exciting area to study so more research is needed.
Mental Health and Fatigue Relief
Reishi mushrooms are used for fatigue relief and overall mental well being. A randomized controlled trial showed that patients who took reishi formula reported significant improvement in emotional well being and overall health compared to those who took placebo. So reishi may reduce fatigue, anxiety and depression, a natural remedy for mental health issues.
Taking reishi mushroom extract can reduce fatigue symptoms and overall mental well being. As more people look for natural support for mental health reishi mushroom is a promising option backed by traditional use and modern research.
Antioxidant Properties
Reishi mushroom extract is said to have many health benefits including antioxidant properties. Reishi is said to improve antioxidant status but studies show no significant change in antioxidant enzyme levels after consumption. So while reishi is promoted for its antioxidant benefits scientific evidence doesn’t support this claim.
Despite the conflicting research reishi mushroom’s antioxidant properties is still an area of interest. More studies are needed to clarify these benefits and how to use reishi for its antioxidant properties.
Reishi Mushroom Extract Dosage and Forms
Reishi products are available in different forms, powders, capsules and teas each with its own benefits. These extracts can be from different parts of the mushroom, fruiting body, mycelia and spores each with its own health benefits. Knowing the different forms and dosages of reishi mushroom extract is key to getting the most out of its benefits.
From standard dosages to high dosages for severe conditions the amount of reishi extract can vary greatly. Also the form of reishi consumed – powder, capsule or tincture – can affect its absorption and effectiveness. Let’s get into the details.
Typical Dosages
Recommended daily dose of reishi mushroom extract is 1.5 to 9 grams depending on the health goals and conditions. Standard dosages for reishi extract is 1 to 3 grams per day while higher dosages are for whole mushrooms. 2 to 5 grams daily is common for chronic conditions.
In severe conditions dosages can go up to 15 grams of reishi extract per day. Taking whole reishi mushroom requires higher dosage than its extract; 50 grams of whole mushroom is equivalent to 5 grams of extract. So we need to adjust the dosage according to the form of reishi being used.
Clinical Studies
Studies show reishi may help in cancer treatment by increasing white blood cell activity but more studies in humans needed. Research shows reishi may support heart health by reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol levels but evidence is inconsistent.
Some studies also show reishi may alleviate anxiety symptoms and overall well being in those with chronic conditions. But claims that reishi increases antioxidant levels are inconsistent.
More studies are needed to confirm reishi benefits and safety.
Ongoing Research
Research is ongoing to explore reishi mushroom uses but current studies are not conclusive. In some countries, medicinal mushrooms including reishi are approved as complementary treatment for cancer, that’s why there’s potential for wider acceptance and use.
More research is needed to establish more concrete evidence on benefits and risks of reishi mushroom extract. As scientists continue to study, we will see more comprehensive studies that will clarify reishi mushroom’s role in modern medicine.

Always lighting fast delivery and great mushroom medicine for-
cancer, aging, boosting the immune system to prevent or treat infections, and for many other reasons, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
In combination with other herbs, reishi mushroom is used to treat prostate cancer. Also in combination with other ingredients, reishi mushroom may be used for viruses, such as the human papilloma virus (HPV), genital herpes, and cold sores.
