Reishi Mushroom: Nurture Your Body's Tranquil Resilience

An Ancient Elixir, Supporting Modern Wellness

Integrate Reishi into Your Wellness Routine:

Batch Specs

We source Reishi Mushroom from two places. We use organically grown log cultivated Reishi from a grower-guided outdoor laboratory in the Pacific Northwest USA and we also source from the northern foothills of China which is the only place that the type species Reishi (ganoderma lucidum) grows wild and far-away from polluting sources.

Alcohol Extracts Many Of Reishi's Unique Constituents †

• Log cultivated Reishi's main benefit is that all parts of the mushroom can be harvested for a high concentration of active constituents; especially the polysaccharides. It also produces a consistent supplement that will easily work without any natural variances that could impair potency.
• Wild Reishi must be harvested sustainably, so only the fruiting body and its spores may be harvested wild. Wild food sources are higher in rare-earth elements.

We formulate using a variety of extraction techniques for multi-step potency which include:

• Artisan-formulated for Wholistic Effects and Benefits
• Harvesting at Times of Full Botanical Potency
• All Active Parts of the Mushroom are Included in the Formula
• Fruiting Body
• Mycelium
• Sclerotium
• Spore
• Cold Processed Where Appropriate to Preserve Integrity of Fragile Constituents
• Dual Solvent: Water and Alcohol for 99.9% constituent content
  • Additionally Activated for Easy Digestion
• Semi-soluble Polysaccharides Included in Suspension
• Stabilized for Natural Preservation - No Preservatives
• Flash-steamed for Cracked Cell-walls to Release Chitin Bound Constituents

This formulation uses low alcohol, 25% by volume, so that it may be taken everyday and is high in the sweet tasting polysaccharides.

• With Probiotics: Adding probiotic-rich foods or supplements to your diet may support the optimal absorption of the beneficial compounds found in Reishi.*

Benefits with tonics take time; taking enough consistently rewards health †

Take as desired: consume on a continuous basis to develop the natural tonic and adaptogenic benefits that build over time.* Some benefits are immediate and some results require consumption over several days and weeks to accomplish.* A good tonic cycle is 45-90 days of a tonic adaptogen which will generate lasting health changes.*

Shake gently: secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the tincture. Do not over-shake as the vigorous mixing of air with the extract will oxidize and damage many of the necessary constituents for required dosage and potency.

By mouth: hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds and then swallow the rest of extract; doing so allows digestion to begin in the mouth and will take advantage of the activated multi-step extract so that many of the constituents will bypass digestion and enter the body through the mouth and throat.*

Mix with water: squirt the drops or entire droppers into 2-4 oz. of water that is under 120*F. Water that is cool to lukewarm temperature is best to preserve the volatile and fragile constituents from being damaged and denatured which will reduce the potency of the extract.* Sip slowly to allow absorption in the mouth and throat.* This method makes it easier to become accustomed to the extract and to take larger doses of several different tinctures at once in a tonic program.*

For maximum potency: regularly consume the tincture within a period of 45 days; after 45 days of continuous consumption the extract may begin to gradually lose potency requiring a larger dosage to achieve similar benefit.* A bottle will generally last 10-30 days depending on dosage and concurrent supplementation programming.*
