Reishi (ganoderma) is one of the most widely used vital mushrooms. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for millennia for its vitalizing effects. Choose the ideal ratio of polysaccharides, triterpenes and other bioactive substances for the best results. In Chinese medicine, Reishi is used to support vitality and immunity. It has significant adaptogenic effects.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), also known as glossy cordgrass, is a fascinating woody mushroom that boasts a hard texture and a distinctly bitter taste.

This fungus is a true treasure of nature, found mainly on wounded trees and stumps, where it draws life-giving nutrients from decaying wood.

One of Reishi's greatest charms is its rich spectrum of bioactive compounds. Reishi contains many bioactive substances that make it absolutely unique. In addition to vitamins, minerals, we can find in Reishi a large amount of polysaccharides, beta glucans, ganoderans, but also steroids, cyclic esters of lactones, triterpenes, which include ganoderic acid or lanostanes, etc. 

Key components are beta-glucans and triterpenes, which are indispensable for supporting the immune system, increasing vitality, and helping to address chronic health issues. Betaglucans are known for their immunomodulatory properties, while triterpenes help to protect the heart and harmonize the body.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is considered a miracle of nature. It promotes defensive Qi (Wei Qi), strengthens the cardiovascular system (Xin - Heart) and harmonizes psychological imbalances. Reishi also helps in supporting the Liver (Gan) and Lungs (Fei).

The history of Reishi use dates back to 2000 years ago. It was touted for its life-extending and vitality-enhancing properties. In ancient times it was even considered the "mushroom of immortality".

Today, Reishi is valued not only for its historical and traditional uses, but also for its widely confirmed health benefits in modern medicine.

Quality Testing of the PRO Line

We want absolute certainty that our mushrooms are 100% effective and safe. That’s why they are continuously tested—from harvesting and production to the final products.

MycoMedica mushrooms are tested in laboratories in the USA, Ireland, Germany, and at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. These top-tier facilities test for more than 350 contaminants, including:

• Pesticides - Ensuring that mushrooms are free from any prohibited or hazardous chemicals used in agriculture.
• Heavy metals - Analyzing for the presence of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic to ensure levels remain well below safety limits.
• Radioactivity - Carefully monitoring levels of radioactive isotopes to ensure the products are entirely safe for long-term consumption
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - Substances with carcinogenic effects, potential impacts on fetal development, and links to cardiovascular diseases.
• Microbial impurities - Monitoring for harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, molds, and yeasts, to ensure the highest possible hygienic standards for the products

The tests performed go far beyond the requirements of current legislation. For every single capsule, a report can be generated to trace its exact origin.

For 15 years, MycoMedica mushrooms have consistently achieved excellent results in testing.

PRO Line – Testing Active Compounds

Verified levels of active compounds to ensure real effectiveness. The PRO line is rigorously tested and standardized, not only for polysaccharides but also for beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucans, guaranteeing the highest quality and efficacy.

Beta-glucans, a component of polysaccharides, are the most important active compounds in mushrooms responsible for their effect on the immune system. Each product undergoes a detailed analysis process using the most advanced methods to measure beta-glucan content accurately.

Beta-glucans are the most potent substances that directly regulate the immune system. MycoMedica is the only manufacturer in Europe conducting testing on this scale. Beta-glucan tests are complex and financially demanding.

In addition, the triterpene content in the Reishi PRO product is monitored (minimum 4%) to ensure the highest quality.
