What is Reishi Spore Extract ?
Ganoderma lucidum, an oriental fungus, has a long history of use for promoting health and longevity in China, Japan, and other Asian countries. It is a large, dark mushroom with a glossy exterior and a woody texture. The Latin word lucidus means "shiny" or "brilliant" and refers to the varnished appearance of the surface of the mushroom. In China, G. lucidum is called lingzhi, whereas in Japan the name for the Ganodermataceae family is reishi or mannentake.
In Chinese, the name lingzhi represents a combination of spiritual potency and essence of immortality, and is regarded as the "herb of spiritual potency," symbolizing success, well-being, divine power, and longevity. Among cultivated mushrooms, G. lucidum is unique in that its pharmaceutical rather than nutritional value is paramount. A variety of commercial G. lucidum products are available in various forms, such as powders, dietary supplements, and tea. These are produced from different parts of the mushroom, including mycelia, spores, and fruit body. The specific applications and attributed health benefits of lingzhi include control of blood glucose levels, modulation of the immune system, hepatoprotection, bacteriostasis, and more. The various beliefs regarding the health benefits of G. lucidum are based largely on anecdotal evidence, traditional use, and cultural mores. However, recent reports provide scientific support to some of the ancient claims of the health benefits of lingzhi.

Reishi Spore Contains Calm-Boosting Triterpenes, Polysaccharides and Ganoderic Acids: Reishi mushroom spores contain a huge variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. They also contain three key bioactive compounds: triterpenes, polysaccharides, and ganoderic acids.These compounds are believed to be responsible for the targeted calming and sleep boosting health benefits associated with
Reishi mushrooms.
Triterpenes are a type of compound that have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. These compounds are essential for combatting feeling of anxiousness which arise within the nervous system. The immune-boosting power of reishi spore triterpenes work to soothe your nervous system, leaving you feeling a sense of Zen. The Polysaccharides are a type of carbohydrate that assist to improve gut health, which balances anxiety and stress.

The application of Reishi Spore Extract
Did you know that the spores are the most useful part of reishi shrooms?
Reishi mushroom spores are impossible for humans to digest due to their hard coating which is made of chitin. The chitin coating must be cracked using a specialised process called C02 cell wall cracking, which exposes the inside of the spore while maintaining high bioavailability.
We specially cell wall crack at low temperatures to preserve the highest concentration of triterpenes and other beneficial composites. Reishi spores contain 300% more triterpenes than reishi fruiting body and are 30x richer in polysaccharides. Reishi spores are also 70x more potent than powder extract and contain high levels of adenosine, amino acids, minerals, alkaloids and polypeptides. This increased potency and higher compound content means that reishi spore oil works more rapidly to reduce stress and improve sleep than mushroom powder extract.
The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They produce hormones that are essential for life, including cortisol. Cortisol is known as the "stress hormone" because it's released in response to tension and heightened anxiety.
