Known as Nature’s Xanax, Reishi is a powerful immune booster with calming and stress relieving properties to help with anxiety and sleep problems. Also known as the “Mushroom of Immortality” and “Lingzhi”, Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) is an adaptogenic species of fungus that grows out of decaying wood. It is has been used in China for over 2000 years and is considered to be one of the most beneficial herbal remedies in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Reishi 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. 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.
Containing the compound triterpene, known for its calming and relaxing properties, Reishi has been shown to reduce fatigue, anxiety and depression. It is also used to promote more restful sleep and improve general quality of life.
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.
SUGGESTED USE:
Take up to 4 capsules per day with meals.
Do not exceed stated dose.

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.
