Reishi

It helps to build and maintain our body's natural defenses and strengthen the immune system .

Why should we take Reishi powder (biomass) and especially when, when there is a relatively wide selection of quality extracts on the market today? Biomass or extract?

Although they may be from the same plant, or mushrooms, they are two different products, two different methods of processing. However, each has its own meaning. While extracts are actually extracts that are concentrated and contain a large amount of polysaccharides, glucans and other substances beneficial to the body, powder or biomass acts more synergistically than extracts because it contains all the substances and enzymes that are lost during extraction.

The biomass powder form has a milder action compared to the extract . Biomass supports a better reception and absorption of polysaccharides in the immune system at intestinal level. In general, it can be said that biomass can be recommended for long-term use, and extracts, on the contrary, for acute problems. It is possible to take about 3g of mushroom powder (biomass) per day, but it can easily be up to three times more.

Digestibility and processing

Mushrooms must be modified during processing so that our digestive system can digest them. The covering of fungal cells is made of chitin, which we cannot digest. So if we want the mushrooms, or their cells, to get the maximum of active substances, we have to process them in such a way as to disrupt their chitinous coating. In the case of extracts, this is done with gentle hot water extraction, with some mushrooms a second alcohol extraction is required, i.e. a double extraction. For powders, the dried fruiting body of the mushroom is ground using a special shell-crack method, which disintegrates the cells for greater digestibility.
