Immune Support (155)

Description This tincture is concentrated, pure and organic propolis in a small dropper jar.   The tincture is produced using a hydro alcoholic maceration of distilled grape alcohol, water and propolis.   This method extracts and preserves most of the nutrients from the soluble parts of the propolis such as resins, balms, essential oils and phenols, while insoluble parts with the least nutrients, like beeswax, are filtered out. About propolis Bees make propolis by gathering resin from pine and other cone-producing evergreen trees.   They blend the resin with wax flakes and pollen, and take it back to the hive. There they use the sticky mess to patch holes, seal cracks and build panels in the hive.   But propolis does more than architectural duty.   It also acts as an antiseptic barrier protecting the hive from contamination and from external invaders like mice, snakes, and lizards. In fact, the name propolis comes from the Greek meaning "defense of the city."   The antimicrobial properties of propolis protect the hive from viruses and bacteria. Researchers found that bees living in hives coated with propolis have lower bacteria in their body and also 'quieter' immune systems. And propolis doesn't just benefit bees. For thousands of years folk medicine practitioners have used this bee glue to treat abscesses, heal wounds, and fight infection.   In fact, propolis was listed as an official drug in the London pharmacopoeias of the 17th century. Propolis has a wide range of antibacterial properties.   Due to UK trading standards restrictions, we cannot make any specific  health claims, but there are many websites where you can find more about propolis.    Usage: Up to 24 drops 1 to 3 times per day, diluted as desired in liquid. Storage:  Before use, keep in a cool, dry place, not in direct sunlight.      Size: 20ml Ingredients: water, grape alcohol* (65%), pure propolis* (15%) *certified organic by CCPAE 100% natural ingredients    Please note: Important - Allergies: Please be aware that some people may have an allergic reaction to propolis and you should test out a drop or two at first. The label on this product is in Spanish with ingredients listed in English.

Product Details - Potent anti-stress adaptogen- Immune system enhancer- Highest antioxidant content- Anti-aging, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-allergy- DNA-protective/cellular regeneration- Rich source of trace elements Supplement FactsIngredients: Wild Inonotus Obliquus dual-extract powder.Net Weight: 60gServing Size: 1g (half a teaspoon)Serving Per Container: 60 Chaga Polaris is the newest addition to our growing range of extract powders, and as you might expect, the production process has seen no corners cut, nor expense spared. The level of production is second to none. Chaga cannot yet be cultivated to medicinally viable standards, so it must be of wild provenance. We use only the purest quality Chaga from the northern-most latitudes of the world. The Chaga sclerotia is sustainably harvested before being tested for environmental pollutants to ensure safety and is then dried before entering the extraction phase.As the various bioactive compounds & assorted nutrients within Chaga are either soluble in alcohol or water, the sclerotia is extracted via pressurised hot water and then extracted via organic ethanol separately - both of these extraction processes are repeated multiple times until the fungal material has yielded everything of medicinal value. It is subsequently spray-freeze-dried to create the resulting fine-grain powder and to ensure it is 100% free from ethanol/alcohol residue. There are absolutely no fillers or additives used in this product whatsoever. This extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation.Because the source material is such high quality and the extraction process is so precise and thorough, it results in the most potent & effective Chaga product money can buy. This is not exaggerated marketing - it is scientifically provable fact. Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page.Most mushroom extracts are either hot water extracts or they are dual-extracts (hot water & ethanol) but the dual-extraction is performed in a single step (water & ethanol combined). This produces an impure, low potency dual-extract that is low in the bioactive markers we are looking for. Considering Chaga, a thorough & pure, multi-step extraction of high quality wild sclerotia should yield an end product that is rich in bioactive markers such as polysaccharides (in particular beta-glucans) as well as terpenoid compounds like betulin and betulinic acid. There are hundreds of medicinally active compounds in Chaga, but these are some of the bioactive constituents that are naturally present in the highest quantities, are the most researched and that are fundamentally involved in the health benefits we expect from a Chaga product. Therefore it is important for us to test for these as markers for a high quality Chaga extract.The overwhelming majority of extract powders on the market will not specify the exact presence of these compounds, simply because they are not present in any significant quantity, if at all. A high percentage of polysaccharides is not a reliable marker either as many producers are using dextrin, maltodextrin or corn starch as additives to increase the overall percentage of polysaccharides, even though they are not from Chaga and contain no medicinal value. Therefore, analysing for specific beta-glucans gives us a clear picture of just how potent a Chaga supplement is, and the percentage of triterpenes/betulin will show us that a dual-extraction has indeed taken place and many important sterols & triterpenoids are present. The higher the percentages will indicate that a multi-step extraction process has been performed and the product is optimally potent, as well as free from therapeutically useless fillers & additives.Chaga Polaris showcases the true medicinal potency of Chaga mushroom because it has been created for the sole purpose of delivering reliable quality & potency, without cutting any corners whatsoever. This is a very strong and concentrated extract - a little truly does go a long way.Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

The superior quality and therapeutic efficacy have made it one of our best selling products since its release half a decade ago. Yet despite its elevated status, we saw that there were still some facets of this medicine that could be tweaked and improved upon... Reishi Paragon has now transcended itself - it is our strongest and richest Reishi extract ever.Regenerative Cultivation MethodsFirstly we have evolved the cultivation process - initially Reishi Paragon was created from organic, wood-grown fruiting bodies which underwent a multi-step dual-extraction process to yield the resulting high potency extract powder. However, the mushrooms are now wild-simulated - from the finest quality wild strains and cultivated according to Di Tao principles.'Di Tao’ literally means ‘authentic method’ or ‘from the source’. Di Tao cannot be imitated, simply because it is unique to its geographical location, grown in conditions that simulate its native, wild environment. This means cultivating the mushrooms in the same pristine mountain forests that wild Reishi grows in. This way, the fungi are grown on the same wood from the same forest, immersed in exactly the same soil, the same symbiotic micro-organisms are present, the weather is the same, the same water irrigates the cultivated mushrooms as it does the wild specimens etc.The fruiting bodies are grown on sections of tree trunk from species of fir trees that Reishi grows on in the wild. The trees should be at least three decades old before harvesting for Reishi cultivation, and they must have come from mountain elevations of at least 1500 meters. The logs should be approximately 30cm in diameter, inoculated with wild Reishi spawn and then immersed within humus-rich soil. This way the mushroom mycelium will have an abundance of nutrients to feed upon, and produce larger, therapeutically more potent fruiting bodies. As the mushrooms mature and their medicinal potency is climaxing they are harvested, and the finest quality fruiting bodies are selected to sporulate the subsequent generation. Crop rotation is also important – Reishi should not be grown in the same place for more than two years, after which point the area needs to be naturally replenished with nutritious mulch and allowed to recover. In Di Tao cultivation there a number of growing locations so that when one of them is allowed to rest and regenerate, it can do so for many years before hosting another generation of Reishi cultivation. Not only does this ensure the richest possible growing environment, but it also promotes local biodiversity – the whole process should not take more from the land than it gives back.Dual-ExtractionOnce the mature fruiting body has been harvested it is washed to clear any residual impurities, then dried, and finally pulverised into a fine grain powder. This creates maximum surface area, making the extraction process exponentially more effective. The mushroom powder is then added to purified water - the hot water decoction is completed inside a pressurised container, simmering below 100°c. The pressurised environment is necessary in order to inhibit the denaturing of the water-soluble compounds. Once completed, the water extract is filtered from the powder and more water added for another decoction. In total, this process is carried out three separate times and finally combined.Next, with the filtrate from the hot water extraction removed, the powder is macerated in ethanol and again, this process is repeated three times before completion. Once all alcohol-soluble compounds have been captured by the ethanol, the filtrate is once again separated from the mushroom material. The liquids (water and ethanol) are both precipitated from the extracts so that all of the nutrients and beneficial compounds are contained within the rich, concentrated solid substance that remains, with no water or alcohol residue whatsoever. Next, this concentrate is transformed into a very fine, dry powder, which requires spray-freeze-drying. Low temperature drying is ideal because it preserves the structural integrity and potency of the extract. Once totally dry, the extract is again filtered through a very fine mesh sieve.Before the extract is sealed in airtight containers ready for sale, a sample should be taken for testing; testing firstly to ensure there are no contaminants, and secondly for the presence of the biologically active compounds that should have been captured via the extraction procedures.Bio-active CompoundsTo verify the medicinal potency, Reishi Paragon has been third party lab tested for both of the primary groups of therapeutic compounds in this fungus - beta-D-glucans & triterpenoids. Currently more than 100 fungal polysaccharides have been isolated from the fruiting body, many of which are beta-D-glucans. These constituents are significantly responsible for the beneficial influence this mushroom has on immune cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes and cytokines.Likewise, more than 130 different triterpenoid compounds have been discovered within Reishi fruiting bodies, spores and mycelia, with over 140 triterpene subtypes as well, which include a large assortment of unique Ganoderic acids. These triterpenes have shown remarkable therapeutic properties; antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergy, cytotoxic towards malignant cells, hepato-protective and regulatory towards many cardiovascular functions.Beta-D-glucans are captured via the hot water extraction phase, while triterpenes are soluble in ethanol and are collected during that second phase of the extraction. This is why multi-step dual-extraction is necessary - to harvest everything of medicinal value from the fruiting body. This is also why beta-D-glucans and triterpenes cannot both be very high in a single extract, because they are the result of separate extractions. Most products will advertise high percentages of polysaccharides, but this simply means the extract is predominantly (or solely) a hot water extract, containing little (or no) triterpenes.Previously, Reishi Paragon contained about 30% beta-D-glucans but only 5% triterpenes. While this was already an exceptional product, we have worked at narrowing that divide so that the end result reflects the finest specimens of wild Reishi, with a naturally strong triterpene content. The latest batch of Reishi Paragon contains 10.56% beta-D-glucans and a whopping 8.7% triterpenes! This is our most potent and well balanced Reishi extract yet! Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page.Finally, this extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation.Understanding Reishi SupplementsMost mushroom extracts are either hot water extracts only and contain no triterpenes at all, or they are dual-extracts (hot water & ethanol) but the dual-extraction is performed in a single step (water & ethanol combined). This produces an impure, low potency dual-extract that is low in the bio-active markers we are looking for.In regards to Reishi, a thorough multi-step extraction of high quality fruiting bodies should yield an end product that is rich in bioactive markers such as Reishi-specific beta-glucans 1>3 and 1>6 as well as triterpenes (ganoderic acids, lucidenic acids etc). There are hundreds of medicinally active compounds in Reishi, but these are some of the bioactive constituents that are naturally present in the highest quantities, are the most researched and are fundamentally involved in the health benefits we expect from a Reishi supplement. Therefore it is important that we can test for these as markers for a high quality Reishi extract.Beneficial effects are of course the result of an interdependent relationship between numerous compounds - some of which are in minute quantities - but if a Reishi product contains a negligible amount of beta-glucans & triterpenes then we cannot expect it to be medicinally viable.The overwhelming majority of products will not specify the exact presence of these compounds, simply because they are not present in any significant quantity, if at all. A high percentage of polysaccharides is not a reliable marker either as many producers are using dextrin, maltodextrin or corn starch as additives to increase the overall percentage of polysaccharides, even though they are not from Reishi and contain no medicinal value.Therefore, analysing for specific beta-glucans gives us a clear picture of just how potent a Reishi supplement is, and the percentage of triterpenes will show us that a dual-extraction has indeed taken place and many important sterols & triterpenoids are present. The higher the percentages will indicate that a multi-step extraction process been performed and the product is optimally potent, as well as free from therapeutically useless fillers & additives.Reishi Paragon exemplifies the true power of Reishi mushroom because it has been created for the sole purpose of delivering reliable quality & potency, without cutting any corners whatsoever.Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and DrugAdministration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

Reishi mushroom has an incredible ability to enhance immunity and reduce stress, which helps with deep restful sleep. The beta-glucans, polysaccharides and triterpenes within Reishi are known for their ability to up-regulate the bodies immune response through boosting our cells ability to eradicate pathogens and increasing apoptosis. Apoptosis is the natural process of our body clearing out damaged cells such as those infected with a virus. Research is also indicating that these polysaccharides and triterpenes can calm the central nervous system and lower stress levels in the body. The increased relaxation that has been observed as a result of Reishi consumption has resulted in increases in deep sleep and enhanced recovery.

Astragalus is one of the great tonic herbs as it strongly tonifies the vital Qi of the body as well as generates blood and fluids. It is a first class herb for maintaining a healthy immune system. This is a premium energy tonic for athletes and anyone looking for more day to day energy and vitality. Astragalus is categorized as an Energy (Qi) tonifying herb. It thus directly supports the Lung and Spleen organs in the body. By supporting those organs, energy derived from the foods you eat and the air you breathe is increased. As an immune system tonic, Astragalus tonifies what the Chinese call "wei qi" or "protective qi" which is the energy that runs just below the surface of the skin.  It helps the body to fight off external pathogens that you may come in contact with. Astragalus also houses what is call "upright qi" which is the energy in the body that supports upright posture and the correct position of the organs. Weak "upright qi" can lead to organ prolapse, slumping or slouching, and general feelings of fatigue.

Duanwood Reishi Mini Drops   Reishi mushroom is arguably the greatest tonic herb on earth. It is certainly the most revered herbal substance in Asia, ranking with Ginseng as the elite substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity and spiritual attainment. It has maintained that position for at least 2000 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Since Reishi has been known to have many functions, it has been the subject of a great deal of research in recent years. It is extremely safe and non-toxic.   Taoists have continuously claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life and spiritual “immortality” (an enlightened state).   The Red Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is a superb anti-stress herb. Throughout history it has been used to bring balance into the lives of people who needed help in this department, and that means most everyone. Deep in antiquity, it was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom.  That is why it was called the "Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" by these seekers. The people of Asia have never lost their faith in Reishi. They believe more than ever in Reishi's power to improve the quality of life by improving the inner life of a human being.   Reishi has traditionally been used as an anti-aging herb. It is highly protective and improves how most people handle stress.   All the scientific validation only explains the physical nature of Reishi, but it is the profound ability of Reishi to improve one's life on every plane that makes it so miraculous. Reishi is indeed calming and centering. Everyone who takes Reishi notices the peacefulness that seems to accompany its use. And Reishi seems to be cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life.   This product is made from 100% Duanwood™ Reishi***, which studies have shown is the most powerful Reishi in the world from a pharmacological perspective. It is extremely rich in all of the components that make Reishi great. Duanwood Reishi is far more powerful than common hothouse Reishi and Reishi mycelium, the most common sources of raw materials on the American market. “Duanwood” means “original wood.” The Reishi is grown on logs cut wild from the forest. The logs are from the same trees that Reishi grows on in the wild, producing the most potent Reishi.   Superior quality Duanwood Reishi™ is among the rarest of jewels in nature. Duanwood Reishi is a substance that builds health on all levels. Life itself is based on the ability to adapt to the stresses and the challenges that come our way every day. Duanwood Reishi seems to provide an incredible resource of the full range of phytochemicals and energies we need to meet these challenges. There are over 800 natural bioactive constituents in Duanwood Reishi™, each one subtlety tweaking the healthy functions of those who consume it.   Duanwood Reishi is indeed "the great protector," protecting us on every level – physically, immunologically, mentally, and spiritually. It helps us adapt to the world and provides additional power for us to achieve a superior level of life. When we are so protected and so provided for, we can achieve things that otherwise would be impossible. That is why Duanwood Reishi™ has been called the "herb of good fortune."   Reishi is now used as a general tonic to help develop energy, and to support digestion.   Reishi supports normal healthy immune functions. It is an immune "modulator" --- that is, it helps to modulate and fine tune the immune system. Our immune system is a virtually miraculous network of activities designed over millions of years.   Chemical constituents known as Reishi polysaccharides play an important role in supporting the body's overall immune functions. Reishi does not "stimulate" the immune system. It regulates it. And that is what makes Reishi so precious. Ganoderic acids promote proper oxygen utilization and support liver functions. Ganoderic acids are also antioxidant free-radical scavengers.   Reishi has been found to modulate the activities of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB), a transcription factor found in all of our cells. Reishi is a dietary supplement that supports normal functions of the immune system.   Reishi is widely used in Asia to support normal cardiovascular functions.*   Specifications: 0.25 fl. oz.   Ingredients: Duanwood Reishi fruiting body.   Other Ingredients: water, alcohol.   Usage: 3-12 droppers per day or as directed by your health care practitioner.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

22 Reishis   22 Reishis is a unique formulation composed of 22 wild woody mushrooms. All of these mushrooms are considered in China to be a form of “Reishi,” or “mushroom of immortality.” All of the 22 mushrooms have potent immune supporting activities that have been demonstrated over the centuries and in modern laboratory studies. All of the “Reishis” are potent Shen tonics as well. This is an extremely potent mushroom elixir like nothing else on the market. Since 22 Reishis is made entirely from wild mushrooms collected in rugged mountains, it is produced in very limited quantities.   In China, certain woody mushrooms are held in extremely high esteem for their life-preserving, protective and generally tonic actions. Reishi Mushroom (known as Lingzhi in Chinese) is the King of Mushrooms and is generally regarded in the highest possible regard. Interestingly, in Asia, herbalists are well aware that there are several varieties of Reishi, and all of them are used as tonic herbs to promote radiant health.   Each variety has its own strengths and value. In the herbal world of China, there are over 20 mushrooms that are called “Reishi,” the most important being Ganoderma lucidum. Some of the “Reishis” are not actually in the Ganoderma genus but are related or are otherwise extremely potent life-enforcing tonic herbs. All of them have been used for many centuries, so they are well established and well understood at least from a folk-use perspective.   Some are readily available and some are very rare. 22 Reishis, a unique formulation created by Master Herbalist Ron Teeguarden, contains literally the 22 varieties of wild woody mushrooms that are sold in “Reishi specialty shops” in China as “Reishi.” They come from all over Asia – from Manchuria, Mongolia, Heaven Mountain, Tibet, Wuyi Mountain, Kunlun (Kyrgyzstan) etc. This is the first product that we know of, perhaps ever, that contains all 22 varieties of Reishi used in the Orient.   Specifications: 2 fl. oz.   Ingredients: Wild Ganoderma lucidum (Changbai Mountain Red Reishi), wild Purple Reishi, wild Purple Reishi  with backward stem, wild Ganoderma lucidum (Heaven Mountain Antler-Shaped Reishi), wild Ganoderma sinensis (Black Reishi), wild Ganodermacapense, wild Fomes fomentarius, wild White Reishi, wild Phellinus igniarius, wild Phellinus uspini (Pine Tree Reishi), wild Inonotusobliquus (Siberian Chaga), wild Stemless Reishi, wild Bamboo Reishi, wild Ganoderma applanatum, wild Blood Reishi, wild Coriolus versicolor (Changbai Mountain), wild Beehive Reishi, Fuscoporia punctate, wild Mongolian Reishi, Wild Tibetan Reishi, wild Shaolin Temple Reishi Type 1 (large red), wild Shaolin Temple Type 2 (small brown), Wild Yunnan Reishi.    Other Ingredients: water, alcohol.   Usage: 1-6 droppers per day or as desired.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.
