The most potent Reishi in Australia (Over 13% Beta-glucans) - but is it just the beta glucans % that matters? - Recent studies have found that there is a lot more benefit to Reishi mushroom than just the beta-glucans. This is why it best to always choose a full-spectrum, whole food mushroom product to ensure you get the full range of benefits (not just the beta-glucans).

Why Is This The Best Reishi In Australia? 1. Firstly, it’s grown in Australia – that’s pretty epic. Mushrooms are highly absorbent. They will absorb the heavy metals and toxins from the environment in which they are in. Thus if they are grown in polluted areas or with unclean water they can be dangerous to consume. 2. Our Victorian mushrooms have a superior drying process. Our Reishi mushrooms are not just grown in the pollution-free Yarra Valley (Victoria); but they are also freeze dried in Victoria. Freeze drying is a superior process of drying to spray drying. It allows for a much more nutrient dense product. The cost is far greater and thus many imported Reishi mushroom products are spray dried. 3. These mushrooms contain the potent mycelium (the mushroom’s life force): Our Reishi includes the mycelium of the mushroom (the “roots” of the mushroom below the surface) not just the fruiting body. World-renowned mycologists like Paul Stamets believe a lot of the benefits of mushrooms are contained in the mycelium. 4. A whole food – and nothing else. An extract contains mostly alcohol or water with minute amounts of the water soluble parts of the mushroom. Our Reishi is the entire mushroom grounded up (so you have a product as close to it’s natural state as possible). Australian mushrooms, always. Our Reishi mushroom is grown and dried in Victoria, Australia. At no point in the process does it leave Australia.It is freeze-dried for maximum nutrient retention (not spray dried like cheap substitutes). It also includes the mushroom mycelium (the “roots” of the mushroom) which according to the Paul Stamets method, is the most important part of the mushroom. Most inferior brands will just sell the fruiting body.It is grinded into a powder so it’s easy to make into tea or add into a smoothie.
