Description
It is considered one of the best-studied medicinal mushrooms, as there are currently more than 5,000 publications on its applications, history and active biomolecules. The benefits of Reishi are due to the presence of these active biomolecules or specific nutrients contained in this medicinal mushroom. The main ones are polysaccharides such as beta-glucans (especially β-(1,3)(1,6)-D-glucans) and terpenes (especially triterpenes), which we have been studying for more than 20 years in our R&D department. In some parts of the world, Reishi was and still is considered to have properties in the physical and mental/emotional balance of the body. This medicinal mushroom contains hundreds of bioactive compounds or active biomolecules that are studied for their relevant role in:
- Mental-emotional health: especially mood, stress management, fatigue and sleep quality (2,3,4) , which are key to ones well-being.
- Endocrine-metabolic system: regarding hormone regulation and liver cells (5).
- Immunology: studies on the function of immune cells and their impact on defences (immune system). (6,7).
- Integrative support: studies on its activity in combination with conventional treatments and its effect on quality of life (9,10,11).
- Anti Aging or Pro-Aging(1): oxidation and production of free radicals that occur with the passage of time, stress, pollution and inadequate diets.
Hifas da Terra has been cultivating mushrooms in Galicia for over 20 years. They have promoted sustainable development and annually planted 80,000 grafted chestnut trees, resistant to diseases and mycorrhized to preserve nature, culture and traditional rural areas in Europe. Their team of researchers in biotechnology applies the knowledge in Mycology to the continued development of innovative nutraceutical products. Learn more about their sustainability programmes here.
