Organic Reishi 13:1 Extract - The Ancient Elixir of Vitality and Calm
Our passion for mushrooms runs deep — we’ve been working with them for over a decade and value their extraordinary properties. Mushrooms are a staple in our kitchen; we use them in everything from chocolate to sweet and savoury dishes, as well as in nourishing teas.
Our personal research and experience have guided us to what we believe are the highest quality mushroom extracts available — potent, effective, and offered at an affordable price. This 13:1 Reishi extract is rich in the essential active compounds that make mushrooms so valued in traditional practices.
Reishi Mushroom is perhaps the most revered of all mushrooms, deeply valued in Asian tradition for its unique properties. Once so rare it was reserved exclusively for royalty and their inner circles, Reishi has long been prized as a powerful symbol of longevity, balance, and inner harmony. Thankfully, modern cultivation methods now allow more people than ever to experience the benefits of this extraordinary mushroom.
Our dual-extracted Reishi powder is made exclusively from the fruiting bodies, ensuring maximum potency. The mushrooms are organically grown on real linden logs, the traditional and natural growing substrate for Reishi.

Further Information
Want to learn more about reishi? Listen to the interview Kate did with expert Brandon Gilbert of Hyperion Herbs, where he goes into the history of this most amazing plant. For over 3,000 years Reishi has been the most sought after substance in nature by mountain sages and by the emperors and empresses of the east. The first Chinese herbal text (Shennong's Pharmacopeia) written about 2400 years ago said that "continuous consumption of Reishi turns you into one like the immortal who never dies," hence it was known as the mushroom of immortality.
