Reishi mushroom extract has a long history of use in traditional medicine and has become a common subject of scientific research due to its potential health benefits. Reishi, also known as mannentake, is a type of mushroom that holds a special place in traditional medicine. It has a bright surface, a woody texture and a deep red color. In nature, reishi grows on densely wooded hills with high humidity and dim light. It is rarely found since it grows mainly on the dried trunks of dead plum, guercus serrata or pasonia trees ^[1]. Out of 10,000 such aged trees, perhaps only two or three will grow Reishi. As a rare oriental fungus, reishi is regarded as a symbol of health, longevity, success and divine power in China, Japan and other Asian countries.

• Boosts the immune system

One of the outstanding benefits of reishi mushroom extract is its potential to boost the immune system. β-glucans, a class of polysaccharides found in abundance in Reishi, are believed to stimulate and regulate the immune system. By fortifying the body's defenses, reishi mushroom extract may help ward off infections and keep the immune system in optimal condition.

• Prevents or treats cancer

The effect of reishi mushroom extract on cancer is based on glucans and triterpenes that it contains. β-glucans exhibited anti-cancer effect by inhibiting cancer cells, protecting normal cells against free radicals, and reducing normal cell damage. Triterpenes are believed to have a cytotoxic effect against various cancer cells. Triterpenes are also claimed to inhibit tumor invasion by reducing the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and inhibit tumor metastasis by limiting binding to the endothelium ^[2].

• Others

Health benefits of reishi mushroom extract also include the treatment of hepatopathy, chronic hepatitis, hypertension, stomach ulcer, bronchitis and asthma, insomnia, and arthritis. In addition, recently, reishi mushroom extract has also been found to have specific potential effects in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, convulsions, and hyperlipidemia ^[3].
