Pharmacological properties
Reishi is a powerful adaptogen and immunomodulator: it protects cellular DNA, cell mitochondria and renal tubular cells from oxidative damage, which is a precondition for ageing and tumour development; participates in stem cell growth and maturation; clears radioactive caesium (Cs) and strontium (Sr) from the bone marrow; removes heavy metal salts from the body; increases the body’s resistance to adverse environmental conditions; enhances the normal functioning of the whole body and its organs; increases the body’s vitality; increases its cytotoxic activity against atypical cells; and is a powerful antioxidant.

Reishi — a powerful hepatoprotective agent
It has the ability to reverse fibrotic liver cells; by activating the production of cadmium-binding proteins, it reduces cadmium (Cd) accumulation in the liver; it reduces inflammation in liver cells and restores the liver’s normal detoxification function. Reishi is a powerful neuroprotectant: it stimulates nerve growth factor, enhancing neuronal mitochondrial function; it reduces the destructive effect of beta-amyloids (Abeta) on neurons, which is a triggering mechanism in Alzheimer’s disease; and it protects brain cells from the inflammatory process that plays a leading role in Parkinson’s disease.
