Extracts And Potential

So in this post we are going to find out about Reishi Mushroom, which is maybe the biggest herb on the planet. And why I say that, why I make that claim, is this herb is the most scientifically researched of any herb ever known, ever studied. On top of that, it's one of the most revered, if not the most respected, herb of all of ancient China.

So reishi is unique in that it is really rich and concentrated in chemicals that are believed to be long-change sugars or polysaccharides. Reishi also has a whole big range of trichurpenoids and a whole big selection of trans acids and oils which give it it is superb properties. And because reishi is so complicated, because it has so many active constituents, for this reason, that is the reason why I tend to go for a full plant, concentrated extract.

So all of the herbs that you may see on the site are ten to one extracts. Meaning it takes ten pounds of full herb that is concentrated into one pound of extract, whereas there are some herbal products on the market that are extracts but one p.c of this chemical or 10 p.c polysaccharides or 2 percent triturpines, etcetera. In short those can be fine for a particular situation, but when you are handling herbs that are so chemically complicated, you truly want the full range. particularly if you are going to be using it as a daily tonic.

And if something has 600-900 active components, we do not actually know A B = C.

Sure we can identify little bits and bobs and say, oh, well these chemicals do this, these gannoderric acids do that, cool. But actually, when something is so complicated, we cannot truly isolate it and say, oh, for instance, we could say reishi has polysaccharides.

These polysaccharides are immune-modulatory and really balancing to the immunological reaction. So somebody might think, oh, well we should get a reishi extract with 80% polysaccharides, because that'd be way better, right? Wrong. It isn't really what we're after.
