Reishi Spore Oil-30 softgels The pure essence of Reishi mushroom, the most bioactive Reishi material   Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is one of the greatest tonic herbs known to mankind. It possesses over 400 active biomolecules. Reishi is a superior herb that may be taken for a long duration without side effects. Reishi has been consumed since the dawn of Chinese civilization as an anti-aging herb, and for its various health-promoting and healing properties. Continuous consumption of Reishi helps to improve functioning of our whole body system, upregulating the immune system, and promoting blood circulation, digestion, metabolism, bowel regularity, reducing fatigue, enhancing alertness, improving sleeping, etc.*   Dragon Herbs Reishi Spore Oil is the pure essence of Reishi spores, the most bioactive Reishi material. The essential nutrients of Reishi are contained in its spore. Reishi Spore Oil Softgel has been shown to be a very potent immune modulator, and is a superb tonic for those who wish to promote their health, age slowly and preserve their youthfulness.   Dragon Herbs Reishi Spore Oil is a golden semi-transparent oil. Reishi Spore Oil is extracted directly from cracked-shell Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) spores by advanced proprietary CO2 super-critical extraction technology. Reishi Spore Oil is the concentrated essence of some water-soluble constituents and the all the lipid-soluble substances, contained in Reishi spores, including all triterpenesand nucleosides. It is easily absorbed by our body. Reishi Spore Oil is VERY concentrated. 1000 kg dried Reishi fruiting bodies (mushrooms) produces approximately just 1 kg of spores; and it takes over 1000 kg of spores to produce only a few kilograms of spore oil. Cracked-shell Reishi spores can be up to 70 times more therapeutic than the whole original Reishi of the same weight. Ron Teeguarden’s Reishi Spore Oil Softgel is thus 70 times more concentrated than Reishi powdered extract. 350 mg (one softgel) of Reishi Spore Oil contains over 70 mg of triterpenes, the most active constituent of Reishi oil. Ron Teeguarden’s Reishi Spore Oil is produced in a modern GMP-rated pharmaceutical facility under the auspices of, and certified by, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China. Special consideration and proprietary technologies are employed to assure freshness and purity of this product.      Traditional Function: Tonifies Jing, Qi and Shen, fortifies immunity, antiaging, protective    Who can use it? Anyone   Concentration: 350:1   Specifications: 30 softgels   Ingredients: 100% pure Duanwood Reishi Spore Oil (no additives or carriers)   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules (Pullulan caps 100% natural, water-soluble polysaccharide produced through a fermentation process; vegetable origin; non-GMO; no starch, preservative or chemical modifications; gluten free.), rice powder.    Usage 1-2 softgels each time, 2 times daily before meals. Use of 9 capsules per day has been shown to have no side effects.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word –Compliance.

Wild Red Reishi Drops – 8 oz Super potent hydro-ethanolic extraction Mountain collected 100% wild Powerful Shen tonic Immune potentiating Wisdom promoting Product DescriptionReishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is recognized as one of the most important and beneficial tonic herbs in the world. Red Reishi has been the most revered herb in Asia since pre-historic times. Sages and emperors sought this herb to confer health, well-being, good fortune and wisdom. Wild Red Reishi is very rare in the commercial market because it is not possible to collect very large amounts of it. It is special because it is totally natural. In the wild, it is a superb collector of Qi and Shen energy. It is called the “Herb of Spiritual Potency.” We are fortunate to have a limited but steady supply of truly wild Reishi mushroom. These mushrooms are not planted or wildcrafted by humans. They grow where they will, where they are perfectly suited. The growing environment is extremely harsh (Manchurian alpine). As a result, they develop great power. Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is made from pure wild Reishi Mushroom fruiting bodies only. The “fruiting body” is the part that looks like a mushroom that emerges from the ground or tree. This is exactly the same Reishi that has been revered as the “Mushroom of Immortality.” We do not use any mycelia (underground growth), and there are no additives of any sort in the production of Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops. Dragon Herbs uses only Ganoderma lucidum species fruiting bodies — we do not mix species in this product.Ingredients: Wild Red Reishi fruiting body.Traditional FunctionTonifies Qi and Shen.

Introducing 'Turkey Tail Toute-Puissance' - the name simply means 'all-powerful' or 'maximum potency', because that is precisely what this product delivers. It is a concentrated extract, produced from the fermented mycelium of the Cov-1 strain specifically - because this strain is rich in the broadest selection of bioactive compounds, most notably a protein-bound polysaccharide known as PSP. Previously a constituent called 'PSK' was understood to be the primary active compound in Turkey Tail, but since the discovery of PSP in the 1980's, it has proven to be far more potent with a much more impressive array of potential health benefits than PSK. PSP is exclusively found in the Cov-1 strain of mycelium, which is liquid fermented with no solid substrate or additives whatsoever. It is then hot water extracted in a pressurised container, before undergoing alcohol precipitation and finally being spray freeze dried, drying the extract into a very fine-grade powder. It is then encapsulated into vegan hypro-mellose capsules for ease of use and measured dosage. Each capsule contains 350mg of maximum potency, bioavailable, fully extracted Turkey Tail. Turkey Tail is the most rigorously studied and scientifically evaluated medicinal mushroom in the world, and boasts thousands of years of recorded clinical use in traditional Asian medicine systems. Isolated extracts from Turkey Tail (such as PSK and PSP) have been registered drugs in a number of countries such as Japan, China and Russia, as immuno-therapeutics and adjuvant medicines in certain cancer treatment protocols. PSP has also been used as an antiviral drug in the treatment of HIV. Traditionally Turkey Tail was used as a liver tonic and as a powerful immune-enhancer and remedy for various types of infection. It was considered to be a tonic for the entire body, regulating a number of metabolic systems and increasing overall vitality. The majority of the research concerning Turkey Tail has focused on its ability to modulate and augment the immune system. Turkey Tail has a stabilising effect on immune function - it can increase activity of white blood cells - such as macrophages and cytokines - or decrease activity depending on what the body needs. This means that it does not work in exactly the same way for everyone, as different people require different intervention and support. This is why Turkey Tail is understood to be an adaptogen - a medicinal organism that can bring the body into a dynamic state of balance - a state of homeostasis. Turkey Tail promotes Superoxide Dismutase within the body - an antioxidant enzyme that neutralises free radicals and has a regulatory effect on inflammation, while its immune support can often help to eliminate the cause of the inflammation. Turkey Tail is truly a supreme tonic medicine that has thousands of years of documented use in Asia and many decades of scientific investigation to support its use as a superior protector of health.

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.

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.
