Reishi, or Ganoderma lucidum, has long been revered in traditional medicine for its broad immune-supportive and mood-balancing properties.
Recent Human Trial Shows Improved Immune Function
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial over 84 days found that daily supplementation with Reishi β-glucan significantly increased various immune cell populations—including CD3⁺, CD4⁺, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells—along with improved CD4/CD8 ratios, elevated serum IgA levels, and enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity in healthy adults. The intervention was well-tolerated with no adverse effects on kidney or liver markers.
Why This Matters
These findings support the idea that Reishi’s β-glucan may gently but effectively strengthen both innate and adaptive immune responses—making it a practical option for daily immune resilience and overall wellness.
Here’s what Reishi could bring to your life…
KEY BENEFITS:
• Enhances immune cell counts (T cells, NK cells)
• Boosts mucosal immunity (IgA) and immune activity
• Well tolerated in long-term use (12-week trial)
