Description
Reishi mushrooms are probably the most well-known medicinal mushroom in the world. Prized for their adaptogenic properties, reishi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years.
One of the most well-known health benefits of reishi mushrooms is its immune-supporting abilities and protection against aging immune cells. Research shows that beta-glucans, polysaccharides present in reishi mushrooms demonstrate immuno-modulating activities. Beta-glucans, specifically β-D-glucans in reishi mushrooms, offer immune support.
For more than 30 years, medicinal mushrooms such as Ganoderma lucidum have been approved as an addition to standard treatments in cancer patients in Japan and China. Medicinal mushrooms are currently being studied to find out how they affect the immune system and if they stop or slow the growth of cancer cells.
In a 2021 review of the literature, authors present evidence of the anticancer activity of Ganoderma lucidum against many forms of cancer, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and more. Overall, the mechanism effects of reishi lead to a decrease in tumor volume, growth, progression and cancer cell viability while increasing cancer cell death and immunomodulatory activity.
While no substance can grant you immortality, reishi possesses health-promoting properties that may extend your lifespan. Here are some of the top purported benefits that have earned Reishi its “mushroom of immortality”.
