*Reishi mushroom contains ganoderic acids, compounds that support and protect the liver and therefore aid in detoxification. Ganoderic acid may also have anti-cancer effects.

*Reishi protects against free radicals, protecting the body against threats and viruses.

*In Chinese medicine, reishi is also taken medicinally to boost immunity against everything from the common cold to cancer by increasing the activity of the body’s essential white blood cells.

*The reishi mushroom is famous for its soothing, relaxation and sleep-enhancing effects. It may also promote relief and mood enhancement for people dealing with anxiety or depression while alleviating fatigue.

*Reishi (G.lucidum) is a very potent adaptogen. By helping to strengthen the liver and kidneys along with aiding in detoxifying, reishi brings toxins out of the body alleviating pressure from the body. It improves the functioning of the lymphatic system, which helps in nourishing the body, removing waste and stimulating energy flow. Reishi is also showing potential benefits in improving the functioning of the adrenal glands (the organs that produce most of our hormones, including our stress hormone Cortisol) allowing an individual to better handle stress, exhaustion, and depression (Chaput, M., 2013).
