What is Organic Reishi Extract Powder?
Organic Reishi Extract Powder is derived from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum, cultivated on certified organic substrates. Utilizing dual water-alcohol extraction and low-temperature concentration, this bioactive concentrate delivers ≥30% immune-modulating polysaccharides and ≥6% ganoderic acids (triterpenes). Optimized for bioavailability and free from carriers or synthetic additives, it supports holistic wellness through adaptogenic and immunoregulatory mechanisms.

FAQs
Q: How does Organic Reishi Mushroom Extract Powder differ from whole Organic Reishi Mushroom Powder?
A: Extract powder is significantly more potent as it concentrates the beneficial compounds (like polysaccharides/beta-glucans and triterpenes) from the whole mushroom. This means you need a much smaller amount of extract powder to achieve the same or greater effect, and the active ingredients are more bioavailable. Whole powder contains more fiber and general nutrition but at lower concentrations of specific bioactives.
Q: What is the typical standardization for polysaccharides/beta-glucans in your Reishi extract?
A: Our Organic Reishi Mushroom Extract Powder is typically standardized to contain ≥15% polysaccharides, with options for higher standardization (e.g., ≥30% as beta-glucans) or customization based on your specific formulation needs.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Reishi Mushroom Extract Powder typically has a shelf life of 24-36 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. It should be kept well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect potency and texture.
Q: Is your Organic Reishi Mushroom Extract Powder non-GMO and allergen-free?
A: Yes, as a certified organic product, our extract is inherently Non-GMO. It is also naturally allergen-free, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences and product formulations targeting broad consumer appeal.
Q: Can this extract be used in liquid formulations, or is it better suited for capsules/tablets?
A: While it has good dispersibility in water, achieving full clarity in liquid solutions may be challenging as some components may not completely dissolve. It is highly suitable for capsules, tablets, powdered mixes, and functional beverages where a slight turbidity is acceptable or where it can be fully suspended.
