What is Organic Reishi Extract Powder?
Organic Reishi Extract Powder (Ganoderma lucidum, traditionally known as Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom) is a 20:1 concentrate produced through dual hot-water and ethanol extraction of certified organic fruiting bodies. This extract delivers bioactive compounds – including immune-modulating beta-glucans and antioxidant triterpenes – in a water-soluble powder format optimized for therapeutic formulations. Retains full-spectrum adaptogenic properties recognized in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

FAQs
Q: How does this extract differ from whole reishi powder
A: Our extract concentrates actives 20-fold, contains 4x more beta-glucans, and offers superior bioavailability due to particle size optimization.
Q: What is the recommended daily dosage
A: For immune support: 250-500mg daily. For therapeutic use: up to 1,000mg under practitioner guidance.
Q: Are solvent residues present
A: Food-grade ethanol is fully removed with residues <100ppm, verified per ICH Q3C standards.
Q: Minimum order quantity for custom ratios
A: 5kg for R&D batches; 25kg for production with customized beta-glucan:triterpene profiles.
Q: Stability in high-pH formulations
A: Maintains ≥90% activity at pH 9.0 when formulated with enteric coatings.
