How does NSI® Reishi Mushroom Extract 500 mg work?
Reishi, or Ling zhi, is the extract of the legendary mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. It is endlessly depicted in Chinese art and is the subject of many folktales. It is looked upon in China as a symbol of good fortune. It is recorded as early as 300 B.C. as a "healthy food". It has been named the "auspicious herb," "miraculous chi," and "holy mushroom" because it is believed to help transform the individual into a more spiritual being.
Along with shiitake, reishi is the most studied of the medicinal mushrooms. It is unique among these mushrooms in that it contains active polysaccharides and a high content of terpenoids.
Terpenoids are adaptogens, the active principles found in most harmony remedies. They are thought to help increase our resistance to stress by calming an over excited nervous system. Terpenoids have been used to support healthy, restful sleep. They are also thought to enhance intellectual capacity, memory and a sound mind and body. Reishi helps support longevity, healthy respiration, blood pressure, cardiac function, cholesterol, agility and liver function.
NSI® Reishi Mushroom Extract 500 mg is better because it:
--Helps promote longevity and a healthy mind and body
--Contains the most potent and highest quality ingredients
--Provides a better value compared to other brands
