Meet our Reishi Spore Collection

Reishi spores are produced as the reishi mushroom completes its life cycle. The spores contain the highest concentration of active triterpenes, unique to the reishi mushroom. We use this powerful part of reishi mushroom in our reishi spore collection, combining it with some of natures most revered medicinal mushrooms.

Our organic reishi spores come from the Longquan district of China, the natural home of reishi. Reishi are polypores, hard and woody in nature and tend to grow on trees. Polypores have thousands of pores on the underside of their fruiting body where millions of spores are produced and released. Spores are impossible to digest because of their hard coating which is made of chitin, one of the strongest substances on earth. We crack our spores at low temperature to maintain the highest levels of nutrients and they are rolled 30 times to ensure maximum bio-availability.

Reishi spores are much more concentrated in triterpenes than the fruiting body as well as being rich in polysaccharides. Triterpenes support organ health and have strong anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory properties. Reishi spores also contain adenosine, amino acids, minerals, alkaloids and polypeptides.

We have four products within our reishi spore collection that follow Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, providing unique combinations of quality medicinal mushrooms. Let’s meet them:

Reishi also contains immune-modulating polysaccharides which reduce the over-reactiveness of the immune response and down-regulates histamine levels and inflammation.
