CanPrev Multi-Mushroom Full Spectrum

If you’re looking for a natural way to support your body in times of stress, look no further than the forest itself. Reishi is a mushroom that’s known for its medicinal properties and benefits. Historically, it’s helped humans deal with stress, boost immunity, and energy.

What is reishi?

Ganoderma lucidum and lingzhi, often called reishi, is a type of medicinal mushroom that has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. It’s one of the oldest known mushrooms to be used as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress. Today it’s known for its medicinal properties supporting immunity, adaptogenic benefits, and antioxidant properties.

Reishi mushrooms are known for their medicinal properties thanks to their composition. They contain active compounds like beta-glucans, triterpenoids, ergosterol and statins. These compounds help with immunity, are antibiotic and antiviral, and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Reishi and immune support

The immune system is involved in fighting infection, and protecting us from toxins and pathogens–maintaining a healthy immune system is essential to overall health. Reishi mushrooms contain high amounts of fibres called beta-glucans, which are associated with immune regulation. They’ve been shown to have immunomodulating effects which can impact immune cell growth, support the release of small proteins called cytokines and long-term immune function.

Adding a little reishi to your daily routine

Are you ready to add some reishi to your diet? While sometimes they can be found in local health food stores, it’s often easier to find them in powder form if you’re looking to add them to foods and beverages. If you’re wanting a more consistent way of taking reishi, there are daily capsule supplements available too.

Supplementing with reishi

When choosing a medicinal mushroom supplement, it’s best to read up on product sourcing and ingredients to find the best fit for you. While the entire mushroom can be used, some supplements only use the fruiting body extracts (from the cap and stem), the mycelium (the root system), or a combination of both. The extraction method also plays a key role, with the most common methods being alcohol extraction and hot water extraction. When combined, the mycelium and fruiting body extract ensure you get a highly potent dose of powerhouse antioxidants, filled with all the beneficial compounds to support your health goals.
