Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a type of mushroom prized in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. Known as the "mushroom of immortality," it contains compounds like polysaccharides and triterpenoids that may support immune function, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness. While often used in teas, capsules, or powders, scientific research is ongoing to fully understand its effectiveness. Reishi is generally considered safe for most people when used appropriately but should be used with caution by those with certain health conditions or on medication.
