Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) is an adaptogenic species of mushroom that has been used in China for over 2000 years. Also known as the “Mushroom of Immortality” and “Lingzhi”, it is a fungus that grows out of decaying wood and is considered to be one of the most beneficial herbal remedies in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It is most commonly used to support and boost the immune system and several studies have shown that Reishi works to increase innate, natural immune function. It is also thought to reduce fatigue, anxiety and depression and improve quality of life.
Some studies have shown promise that Reishi may help to combat cancerous growth and indicated that the mushroom could benefit people with cancer when used alongside traditional treatment by increasing the activity of white blood cells and increasing cellular immunity.
Reishi is rich in antioxidants and may also be helpful in stabilising blood sugar, lowering serum glucose levels, increasing HDL (good) cholesterol and decreasing triglycerides.

I was looking for good quality of Reishi. It was hard to find in UK. However I am happy to find this product which is certified as organic. I think it worth buying.

Effective immune booster, anti-carcinogen & anti-depressant in 90x high-dose 450mg capsules.
Reishi is a mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) found in the tropics all over Asia. It has many proven medicinal properties, notably strengthening the immune system and as a known anti-carcinogen.
Many health-benefit claims are made for reishi, but only the following are supported by multiple clinical studies:
1. An increase in the number of lymphocytes after taking the substance for four weeks, with lymphocyte efficacy enhanced
2. A proven anti-carcinogen particularly effective against cancers of the colon, breast and prostate
3. Studies also suggest this fungus is effective in combatting anxiety and depression
Simply Pure’s organic reishi is supplied in 90x capsules each of 450mg, a relatively high dosage: no more than two capsules (=900mg) should be taken together, but you should consult your medical herbalist about dosage and duration of treatment. The product has no binding agents, fillers or additives and though expensive, represents good value.
Recommended.

I started using these to help control my blood pressure, and after 3 months they are really helping. I’m keeping records for my GP and still might need medication, but overall, my BP is down greatly from what it was. I like the fact that these capsules are certified organic, which makes me feel confident in using them. Quick delivery, and overall a very good service from this company.
