KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms - Reishi mane BIO, tincture (50 ml)

Product detailed description

Now you too can also benefit from its power, and to ensure that you get the most out of it, we have chosen this tincture from KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms. The Finnish supplement experts harvest the key nutrients from the fruiting body of the mushroom using a double-extraction process using hot water and alcohol at a ratio of 1:5. This is what makes the tincture so abundant in active ingredients that are easily absorbed by the body, as well as giving it its distinct zest. What’s more, the Finnish experts grow the mushrooms and create their beneficial extracts with complete and utter respect for the ecosystem. They are simply amazing.  

Why did this tincture win us over?

• It is created from the fruiting body of the mushrooms, not from mycelium. All of the beneficial compounds in reishi mushrooms are contained in the part that is found above ground. Many manufacturers use lab-created mycelium, as a result of which their products can lack certain active ingredients.
  
• It is a result of double extraction. The cell wall of mushrooms is made up of the polysaccharide, chitin, which the human organism does not know how to process. The double extraction method breaks down the chitin barrier using a combination of hot water, alcohol and UAE (Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction) technology. By doing so the manufacturers were able to extract the substances that are dissolvable in both water and alcohol. 
• It is concentrated and easy to digest. Every drop of the tincture delivers the maximum amount of active ingredients of reishi mushrooms to the body. In addition, UAE technology ensures that the biologically active ingredients can be easily absorbed into the organism.
  
• The reishi mushrooms are sourced from an outdoor farm in Karjalohja in the south of Finland. They grow on a birch substrate certified by the FSC or PEFC. Firstly the trunks of Finnish birch trees are painstakingly analysed. Once spring comes fungi is inoculated onto birch logs. Come the following year, they will have already been colonised by reishi mushrooms. KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms places emphasis on sustainable practices and are currently cultivating ten different types of reishi strains which come together in the final extract. The incredibly high quality of their tinctures are the result of their perfectly executed and ecological farming system. 

Why do we regularly use reishi?

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) - a wood destroying mushroom of the polyporacae family - has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. In appearance it resembles a fan or a kidney, depending on your imagination. It grows on the trunks and stumps of deciduous trees and is referred to as the “divine mushroom of immortality” - not only by us. It contains a whole range of polysaccharides, mainly beta-glucans which bring the immune system into a state of harmony and have a positive effect on blood cholesterol levels. Importantly, they also contain triterpene which supports the body’s innate immunity.  

We can’t tell you much about the health benefits of these unique fungi. But something is better than nothing. Reishi:

• Contribute to the proper circulatory system function. 
• Help regulate blood cholesterol levels.
• Support the body’s innate immunity.  

That’s all we are able to reveal due to current EU legislation regarding dietary supplements which prevents us from expanding on the above information, despite the fact that a whole range of scientific studies have been devoted to this type of fungi and that they have been incorporated in folk remedies for thousands of years.
