The Reishi mushroom has a long tradition in TCM

Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi) is a traditional medicinal mushroom in Chinese folk medicine (TCM). Medicinal mushrooms are deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Reishi has long been regarded there as a symbol of luck and immortality. Our capsules contain the valuable constituents of the mushroom in concentrated form as an extract.

30% polysaccharides in the certified organic extract

Each capsule contains 500 mg organic Reishi fruiting-body extract from certified organic cultivation. The Reishi mushroom is characterised by its high polysaccharide content (30%). A gentle water extraction process preserves the high polysaccharide content in the extract. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and is therefore suitable for vegans. The product contains no unnecessary additives or excipients and is naturally free from allergens.

Polysaccharides with many roles

Polysaccharides (also called glycans) are complex carbohydrates made up of multiple sugar units. They provide energy and, among other things, play a structural role in cell membranes. They serve as mucilages, storage substances and nutrients for animal and plant organisms. In TCM, Reishi is traditionally regarded as an especially valuable natural product.

Other foods also contain polysaccharides

Due to its dense fruiting body and bitter taste, Reishi is rarely consumed directly and is mostly used in the form of teas, powders or extracts. Other medicinal mushrooms with similar properties include shiitake and maitake. Polysaccharides are also supplied by cereal grains, wholegrain products, potatoes, legumes, beetroot and vegetables.

The advantage of Reishi capsules

Organic Reishi extract capsules from Unimedica make it easy and flavour-neutral to benefit from the advantages of the traditional medicinal mushroom Reishi. They can supplement the daily diet with valuable polysaccharides, which supports overall well-being.

Not suitable for eating but still a valuable ingredient

This sturdy bracket fungus grows parasitically primarily on deciduous trees, favouring oaks and European beeches, without causing them significant harm. Its resin-covered fruiting body has earned it the local name "glossy lacquer polypore". However, it is unsuitable as an edible mushroom: it is too tough and too bitter. Therefore it is used fresh or dried as a powder or extract for tea infusions, as a dietary supplement, or in cosmetics.

Each amber glass bottle of Unimedica Organic Reishi extract capsules contains 90 capsules. This corresponds to a one-and-a-half-month supply.
