MicoVital Reishi is a food supplement based on reishi mushroom extract (Ganoderma lucidum), of which only the fruiting body is used. It contains more than 400 active substances, including beta-glucans and triterpenes such as ganoderic acid, lucidones and lucidenic acid, which contribute to the body's immune defenses. In addition, reishi has traditionally been used to promote rest. The extract is grown using a unique antler-shaped cultivation method on birch bark, which maximises the surface area of the fruiting body and therefore its yield. Extraction is carried out using ultrasound (UAE) with hot water and alcohol. With this innovative extraction method we manage to maximise the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in reishi. The product is available in bottles with liquid extract, which contains only reishi in a convenient presentation: bottle with 50 ml. It can be taken by adding it to coffee, tea or smoothies, or directly sublingually. Ideal to take before going to sleep and promote rest. What are medicinal mushrooms? Although until a few years ago mushrooms were classified as vegetables, today they are considered to be an independent kingdom of equal rank to animals and plants. With a high nutritional profile of proteins, micronutrients and important bioactive compounds, they are an important nutritional tool for taking care of our health. They represent an important source of biologically active polysaccharides in fruiting bodies or sterile heads in some cases. Most of these polysaccharides belong to the group of beta-glucans; these have beta-(1—>3) linkages in the main glucan chain and additional beta-(1—>6) branching points that are responsible for the properties of these medicinal mushrooms. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is possibly the best-known medicinal mushroom today, although it has been used for more than 2000 years. Also known as lingzhi in Chinese, it is a mushroom revered in Asia and is believed to have balancing properties for the body and spirit. In Spain, we know it as “pipa” (a pipe) because of its characteristic shape. It has an intense and bright color that can range from red to mahogany through orange tones. Although it is edible, it has a bitter taste and a leathery texture. Reishi fruiting body extract (Ganoderma lucidum) contains polysaccharides (beta-glucans) and triterpenes such as ganoderic acid, lucidones and lucidenic acid, which contribute to the body's immune defenses. Reishi has also been traditionally used to promote nighttime rest. Why is MicoVital Reishi extract so special? Only reishi fruiting bodies are used, grown organically on birch bark from the forests of Finland. The crop is antler-shaped, which maximizes the surface area of the fruiting body and therefore its yield. The technology “Ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE)” is used, hot water and alcohol. With this innovative extraction method we manage to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in reishi. Miron violet glass bottles are used, a unique type of glass packaging known as biophotonic. Miron glass also filters out harmful rays while filtering out infrared, ultraviolet and violet lights, thereby prolonging the shelf life and effectiveness of the product. Due to a particular blend of minerals present inside the Miron glass, this bottle also ensures optimal preservation of nutrients. It is recommended to use 2 pipettes (2ml) per day or as recommended by an expert. Use sublingually by placing it under the tongue and swallowing, or add to a drink. You can incorporate MicoVital Reishi into your nighttime routine, one hour before going to sleep. It is advisable to rest for a week after every 3 months of use. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Only recommended for adults. Keep out of reach of young children. Keep in a cool, dry place and protected from sunlight.
