What is Reishi Mushroom Spore Powder?

Reishi Spores are the most concentrated form of Reishi Mushroom that nature gives us. In fact it takes around 1000kg of Reishi Mushroom to make 1- 3kg of Reishi Spores!

Reishi spores are the reproductive cells of the reishi mushroom. They are released from the fruiting body of the mushroom and contain potent bioactive compounds, such as triterpenes, polysaccharides, and antioxidants. Reishi spores are smaller in size than the mushroom itself and are traditionally harvested by shaking the mature mushroom, then filtering and drying the spores.

Reishi Spores can be thought of as the pollen of Reishi which the mushroom uses to reproduce itself so it is in fact the Jing or (Life Essence) of the Reishi and contains high concentrations of Triterpenes and Polysaccharides which are the most important substances for our bodies in Reishi. Reishi Spore powder also contains adenosine, thirteen amino acids, Germanium, Selenium, lipopolysaccharides, ascorbic acid, alkaloids and trace minerals.

However, spore has two very hard chitin spore walls which make the internal activity components difficult to be absorbed and digested in human gastrointestinal tract. In order to improve the utilization of Ganoderma spore powder (GSP), it is essential to break spore walls. Several wall-breaking methods are developed continually, such as ultrasonication with low temperature, supercritical carbon dioxide breaking and high-speed centrifugal shearing pulverizer. After breaking the walls, the dissolution rate of the internal ingredients can be increased, so its adsorption efficiency of human body can be increased too.

Reishi shell-broken spore powder is a wall-breaking technique based on Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. The broken ganoderma spore powder is more easily absorbed by the body to its active ingredients.

Our reishi spore powder comes from organically cultivated Lingzhi (Ganoderma Lucidum), which is crushed using pressure and sonic vibrations to break the tough cell walls and release the bioactive substances within, maximizing the use of nutrients. Contains no pesticides or other additives, and contains the pure healing power of nature. Rich in highly effective polysaccharides, triterpenoids, minerals and trace elements such as iron, selenium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese and germanium.
