Reishi extract (Ganoderma lucidum) tincture (drops)

Reishi is the most sought after and sold mushroom in the world. Our Reishi is grown in special conditions in the Finnish countryside, in Karjalohja, Finland, which is famous for its extremely clean air and water [1], [2]. We use only mushroom fruiting bodies, no mycelium, to produce our powerful, organic Reishi tincture. It is extracted using ultrasonic technology (UAE), as well as alcohol and hot water. Thanks to this innovative extraction method, we maximize the bioavailability and absorption of the compounds we are interested in, such as triterpenes or beta-glucans (our extracts contain at least 32% of beta-glucans).

Grown, processed, packaged in Finland. PEFC/FCA certified Finnish birch was used as a growing medium to create the highly bioavailable, organic Reishi Mushroom Extract.

A special Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) technology was used for the extraction, which breaks down the fungal cell wall made of chitin. The use of alcohol extraction alone would not extract the full potential of biocomponents from the mushroom, such as triterpenes or beta-glucans, hence the use of highly advanced ultrasonic technology. The use of alcohol in the production of tinctures helps to better extract the active ingredients and at the same time supports their absorption. From the level of Chinese Medicine, alcohol itself has a yang character and therefore has a "moving" effect on blood circulation. Properly concentrated alcohol in combination with mushroom extracts supports general vitality and soothes pain at the level of muscles or joints.

The safety and purity of products is our top priority. Each production batch undergoes independent tests for the presence of microorganisms and heavy metals.

The use of Reishi in the light of science
Reishi extracts have been shown to support people who have trouble sleeping [3]. Reishi's active ingredients have shown signs of improving the neuro-inflammatory effects and oxidative stress that occur with excessive alcohol consumption (neutralizing effect), which is why they are recommended for addicts [4]. Reishi contains many beneficial bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and triterpenes [5]. The chemical structure of many of the reishi-derived triterpenes is very similar to lanosterol, which is a substance involved in the synthesis of cholesterol. Reishi triterpenes can positively influence the cholesterol-lowering activity of the body [6].

Ingredients in a 50ml bottle:

water-alcoholic extract (25%)
organic Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Reishi in tincture:

we use only mushroom fruiting bodies,
our mushrooms grow in the cleanest region of Europe - Finnish forests (wild regions of Lapland)
When to use Reishi drops?

Preferably one hour before bedtime or in the window between 20:00 and 23:00.

Dosage Best Practices
Shake before use.
Always start with smaller doses to find the optimal dosage for you. We follow the principle of "start low, go slow" - we start with small doses and slowly increase them.
The extract in the tincture can be poured with hot water, thanks to which the alcohol will evaporate. This procedure is recommended for children or drivers.
The recommended maximum daily dose is 2ml (2x full pipette). We recommend the use of mushrooms during the week, and a break at the weekend.
We recommend taking a week break after every 3 months of using mushrooms.
