Reishi has been consumed since the dawn of Chinese civilization for its various health-promoting properties. Continuous consumption of Reishi helps to support healthy functioning of our whole body system, supporting the immune system, and helping to promote healthy blood circulation, digestion, metabolism, reducing fatigue, enhancing alertness, helping people handle stress better, etc., in normal healthy individuals. Reishi Spore Oil is a superb tonic for those who wish to promote their health, age slowly and preserve their youthfulness.
Every growing season, the Reishi mushroom produces its “fruiting body,” that part which we see and think about when we think “mushroom.” At the end of the growing season, Reishi produces “spores,” which are like microscopic seeds. Each Reishi "fruiting body" (mushroom cap) produces millions of spores and these spores form a coating of lovely chestnut brown powder all over the fruiting body and beyond. These spores are collected. They cannot be used in this raw state because each spore has an impermeable cell wall that humans cannot digest. However, the spores are extremely rich in phytochemicals, so scientists have developed an effective way to “crack” these cell walls, allowing the material inside to be extracted. The spores are rich in Reishi spore oil, and this oil is of great health value. This oil can be extracted using high-tech methods.
Dragon Herbs Reishi Spore Oil is the pure essence of Reishi spores, the most bioactive Reishi material. Dragon Herbs Reishi Spore Oil is a golden, semi-transparent oil. Reishi Spore Oil is extracted directly from cracked-shell Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) spores by advanced proprietary CO2 super-critical extraction technology. Reishi Spore Oil is the concentrated essence of all the lipid-soluble substances contained in Reishi spores, including all triterpenes, nucleosides, and some water-soluble constituents as well. The essential nutrients of Reishi are contained in its spore. Reishi Spore Oil Softgel is a superb tonic for those who wish to promote their health, age slowly and preserve their youthfulness.
Reishi Spore Oil is easily absorbed by our body.
It is VERY concentrated. 100 kg dried Reishi fruiting bodies (mushrooms) produces approximately just 1 kg of spores. And it takes over 100 kg of spores to produce only 1 kg of spore oil. Cracked-shell Reishi spores can be up to 70 times more therapeutic than the whole original Reishi mushroom of the same weight. Ron Teeguarden’s Reishi Spore Oil Softgel is 70 times more concentrated than Reishi powdered extract.
Just one Reishi Spore Oil Softgel (500 mg) of Reishi Spore Oil contains over 150 mg of triterpenes, the most active constituent of Reishi oil.
