Reishi mushroom is arguably the greatest tonic herb on earth. It is certainly one of the most revered herbal substances in Asia, ranking as one of the elite herbal supplements for the attainment of glowing health, longevity and spiritual attainment. It has maintained that reputation for at least 2,500 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Reishi, also known by its Chinese name of Ling Zhi or its botanical name of Ganoderma lucidum, is extremely safe and non-toxic. Duanwood™ Reishi is an organically cultivated variety of Reishi that has potent immune tonifying potency.
This product is made from 100% Duanwood™ Reishi, and is rich in all of the components that make Reishi great. The Reishi is grown on logs cut wild from the forest. Duanwood Reishi is far more powerful than common hothouse (plastic bag) Reishi and Reishi mycelium, the most common sources of “reishi” raw materials on the American market. “Duan” means “original and authentic.” So “Duanwood” means “authentic wood” — the same exact wood Reishi grows on in nature. Duanwood Reishi™ is Dragon Herbs’ proprietary cultivated Reishi, grown in a remote high mountain forest on Wuyi Mountain, naturally irrigated with mountain spring water, in air as fresh as any on earth, in pure virgin mountain-forest soil. The logs are sustainably wild harvested. All this yields the most potent Reishi.
Ron Teeguarden has been selling Reishi since 1976, which makes this his 40th anniversary in the trade. Ron has visited several dozen Reishi plantations in Asia. When Ron states that this is the best cultivated Reishi in the world, it is based on deep experience. Duanwood™ Reishi is made with 50% Reishis that are on the verge of going to spore and are at peak energy. The other 50% are mushrooms that have gone to spore the very day they are collected. Reishi spores have special qualities that enhance the overall benefits of this extract. Reishi spores are a profound Jing and immune tonic. *The terms Duanwood™ and Duanwood Reishi™ are trademarks of Dragon Herbs.

Duanwood Reishi
Reishi Mushroom
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is the most revered herbal substance in Asia, ranking as the elite substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity and spiritual attainment. It ranks in Asia with Ginseng, Deer Antler, Rhodiola, and Cordycepsas a pre-eminent tool in the attainment of radiant health. It has maintained that position for at least 3000 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Numerous legends provide a rich and extensive record of Reishi in Asian society.
Reishi has traditionally been used as an anti-aging herb, and has been used for many diseases and disorders as well. It has long been a favorite tonic food supplement by the Chinese Royal family and virtually any one who could obtain it. Reishi was particularly revered by the followers of the Taoist tradition as the "Elixir of Immortality." 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” (enlightenment). Due to its rarity in the past, the common people could rarely obtain a Reishi mushroom, and it was popularly revered as a greater treasure than any jewel.
Traditionally, Reishi is said to be a nourishing tonic, tonic to the three treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen). It is considered to be capable of building body resistance, and to be powerfully detoxifying to the cells and tissues of the body. Reishi is slightly sedative on an immediate basis but builds energy over time. Reishi is universally believed is Asia to prolong life and enhance intelligence and wisdom.
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 absolutely safe, being non-toxic.
Reishi is a profound immune potentiator. It has been found to significantly improve the functioning of the immune system whether the immune system is deficient or excessive. In this sense, it is an immune "modulator" – that is, it helps to modulate, or regulate, and fine-tune the immune system. Our immune system is a virtually miraculous network of activities designed over millions of years to protect us from viruses, bacteria, parasites, molds, dust, pollen and malignant cells. It is the responsibility of the immune system to detect the intrusion, or invasion, of these entities and to mount a defense in order to eliminate them. A healthy immune system is capable of resisting most such intruders and a very hardy system may be able to resist invasions that many other people's systems cannot. If the immune system is weakened or malfunctioning, the invading microbes can easily establish a foothold in our body and disease sets in. Antibiotics can often be used to stop the invasion at this time, but chronic use of antibiotics further weakens the immune response. Furthermore, antibiotics are useless against viruses, pollens and most parasites. They are certainly useless against malignant (cancerous) cells generated in our own bodies. It is much better to resist the invasion from within with a fully fortified immune system and not become ill in the first place. This is where herbs like Reishi our now attracting the attention of scientists and consumers alike.
Many chemical constituents play a role in Reishi’s immune modulating capacity. The polysaccharide components in particular seems to play an important role in attacking cancerous cells, but not healthy ones, while simultaneously strengthening the body's overall immune functions. The polysaccharides appear to help the body attack microbial invaders such as viruses, bacteria and yeast.
But Reishi does not just "stimulate" the immune system. It regulates it. And that is what makes Reishi so precious. If the immune system is excessive, as is the case with autoimmune diseases and allergies, Reishi can have significant positive influence. A group of chemicals known as ganoderic acids help fight auto-immune diseases such as allergies. Ganoderic acids inhibit histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions. Ganoderic acids are also potent antioxidant free-radical scavengers.
Still another component, Beta-1, 3-glucan, helps regulate and stabilize blood sugar levels. Not only that, but these same components have been shown to have powerful anti-tumor properties.
Reishi is widely used in Asia to improve the cardiovascular system. It helps lower HDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and reduce excess fatty acids. It has been found to prevent and treat hardening of the arteries, angina and shortness of breath associated with coronary heart disease.
It has also been approved in Japan and China for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, a serious auto-immune disease. Besides that, it is commonly prescribed by MD’s in Japan for chronic bronchitis, memory loss, insomnia, hyperlipidemia and a whole range of degenerative diseases of the elderly, including disorders associated with senility.
Reishi 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. 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. Many people are able to stop using chemical drugs. And Reishi seems to be cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life.
Reishi is a substance that builds health on all levels. It is the rarest of jewels in Nature. Life itself is based on the ability to adapt to the stresses, the attacks, the challenges that come our way every day. Reishi seems to provide an incredible resource of the full range of energies we need to meet these challenges. 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 whyReishi has been called the "herb of good fortune."

Nyishar Purple Reishi Extract is concentrated at a 1:2 ratio, meaning that one part mushroom has been macerated in two parts liquid solvent, creating a maximum potency extract. Firstly, the fruiting body of Ganoderma sinense undergoes hydro-ethanolic dual-extraction, where both procedures are performed separately. The fruiting body is an incredibly rich source of fungal polysaccharides and beta-glucans, with a relatively low overall volume of triterpenes. This why the second process is a pure ethanol extraction of sporoderm-broken spores from Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), as the spores of this renowned species possess a very high percentage of bio-active triterpenes.
In total three extracts are produced; hot water and ethanol extractions both fruiting body as well as the ethanol extraction of the sporoderm-broken spores. The hot water extraction is conducted within a pressurised environment to ensure that the water-soluble fraction of the medicine is collected without denaturing from the heat. Each of these extracts are then triple-filtered and combined to produce a complete medicine, offering a wide range pf therapeutic benefits..
Prior to extraction, the Purple Reishi fruiting body is cultivated in a protected mountain reserve in the south east of China, following traditional Di Tao practices. This is a centuries-old method that grows wild-simulated fungi in the same region that true wild specimens can be found. They are grown on the same wood from the same forest, immersed in exactly the same soil with the same micro-organisms, the weather is the same and the same water irrigates the cultivated mushrooms as well as the wild. Read more about Di Tao cultivation HERE.

Purple Reishi Drops
The Reishi of Legend
Reishi is the ultimate tonic herb. Its reputation as a “mushroom of immortality” goes back thousands of years, even further back than written history. The Purple Reishi Mushroom was the most sought-after and revered type of Reishi. Today, as it has been for thousands of years, Purple Reishi is so rare that most herbalists have never seen it. It is a powerful life supporting herb. Of all the varieties of Reishi, it provides the most Jing. It also provides abundant Qi and Shen.
Ron Teeguarden has been fortunate enough to have made acquaintance with a mountainman from Sichuan province in Central China who has located a remote and hidden valley where wild Purple Reishi grows. Dragon Herbs purchases his entire “harvest” twice a year (early summer and fall). There is enough available to produce a limited run twice a year. This is an ultimate tonic herbalists’ elixir.*

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.

Wild Red Reishi Drops
Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is currently recognized as one of the most important and beneficial tonic herbs in the world. 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. Reishi is now widely cultivated, but Wild Reishi is very rare. 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” and the “Mushroom of Immortality.”
Reishi has only been cultivated for the past thirty years. Originally, of course, Reishi was collected in the wild. The historical records only discuss Wild Reishi.
Dragon Herbs has developed a relationship with local herb collectors in the high altitude regions of Changbai Mountain, the Di Taoauthentic source of Reishi. These amazing people spend their entire lives scouring the remote pristine forests looking for the rarest herbs – Wild Reishi, Wild Ginseng, Wild Schizandra, Wild Asparagus, and so on. 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 (alpine). As a result, they develop great power.
Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is made from pure WILD Red Reishi Mushroom fruiting bodies. The “fruiting body” is the part that looks like a mushroom. 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 fruiting bodies – we do not mix species in this product. (If you want mixed mushroom species, see Dragon Herbs 22 Reishis, a proprietary blend of 22 wild mushroom varieties from various remote mountain sources from Mongolia to Tibet to Manchuria to Kunlun and beyond.)
Wild Red Reishi, because it is WILD, possesses more Shen than cultivated varieties of Reishi. Most hot-house Reishi, which is usually made from only the artificially generated mycelia, possesses little Shen, if any. No herb on earth is more capable of supporting the development of Shen than WILD Red Reishi.
Wild Red Reishi is much more difficult to analyze and quantify than cultivated Reishi. The mushrooms grow on different varieties of trees, and grow in different environments on the mountain. This variety is perhaps of special value, but it means that there is no way to standardize the product. Dragon Herbs does mix mushrooms collected from various ecological niches on Changbai Mountain, so that the wildness of the Reishi is accentuated. Furthermore, the mushrooms are of course not all of the same age. Some are “Grandfather Reishi,” some are middle aged, and some are young (though we only use mature Reishi fruiting bodies in our product). This age difference does mean that the chemical constituents in different mushrooms will be different. We, of course, consider this to be a benefit because it expands the range of phytochemicals.
Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is one of the most wonderful herbal products available in the world. It is produced with exacting care to extract both water and alcohol soluble components and to protect the energy and spirit of the mushrooms.
Wild Red Reishi Drops is a very potent 8:1 hydro-ethanolic extract. That means that it takes 8 pounds of these Wild Red Reishimushrooms to make one gallon of finished extract.
Even if you regularly consume a Duanwood Reishi product such as Duanwood Reishi capsules or Supreme Protector, you owe it to yourself to consume a bottle of Wild Red Reishi from time to time – or to make it part of your regular Reishi regiment.*

Reishi mushrooms are one of the most revered herbs in traditional Chinese Medicine. Reishi, known as "Ling Zhi" in China, was referred to as the "herb of spiritual potency" and the "ten thousand year mushroom." References to its use date back as far as 100 B.C. Reishi has been known also as the “Herb of Spiritual Potency” and the “Mushroom of Immortality” and has been used historically in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a Shen nourishing tonic. A Shen tonic is a spiritual tonic thought to expand the mind and enhance consciousness. Although the “spirit” is rarely addressed in our modern medicinal systems, its role in overall health and healing certainly deserves mention.The purported benefits of Reishi are vast, and research continues today on the potential uses of this ancient herb. Reishi is also considered an adaptogenic herb aiming to support and normalize the functions of the body. Important reishi compounds include, but are not limited to, polysaccharides, triterpines, SOP (superoxide dismutase) and AMP (adenosine monophosphate).Reishi mushrooms are: » Anti-tumor» Anti-viral» Anti-fatiguing, Anti-inflammatory and Anti-allergic» Immuno-Modulating» Assists in respiration by enhancing the oxygen absorbing capacity ofthe alveoli in the lungs» Antioxidant, eliminating hydroxyl free radicals» Liver protective and detoxifying» Cholesterol reducing» Increase white blood cells» Enhance bone marrow nucleated cell proliferation» Protection against ionizing radiation» And more….Immortality Quest Reishi is made exclusively from wood grown fruit bodies and is a combination of both hot water and ethanol extractions.*» Certified Organic Menstruum (Organic grape or grain ethanol)» Organic Reishi Fruit Bodies» Made with pure spring water, never with de-ionized, reverse osmosis or distilled water» Log Grown Reishi Fruit bodies (never grown on grain or sawdust/wood chip.

Reishi Paragon has been one of the highest calibre Reishi extracts on the market for a number of years already. 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.

Neprinol AFD 300caps (Arthur Andrew Medical)
I had a large varicose vein on my leg that’s been causing me problems for years. I’d received a substantial quote to remove it using sclerotherapy. I’m 70. My daughter bought me these tablets for my general health. I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night. After about two weeks of taking these, my painful varicose vein disappeared. No need now for vein treatment. I feel great - I certainly do not feel 70! My daughter had bought these previously from another website but will now buy from longevity. Brilliant service and quick delivery.

Modifilan Brown Seaweed Extract, 90 Capsules, 500 mg
As well as removing metals from your body, these capsules are great for constipation, and continue to work long after the end of a bottle. And of course, completely natural.

Dragon Herbs Young Lungs 100 capsules 500mg
Take the mucus-melting, phlegm-expelling properties of Free The Lungs, combine with the cough-disappearing effect of Golden Air, add the ability to breathe deeper, and I still would not have encapsulated all the benefits that Young Lungs seems to provide. This formula has blown me away. For total respiratory health, this is THE product.

The Energy Blueprint - Energenesis 432.5g
I have adrenal insufficiency and another crash/hospital admission left my body very depleted. I've been taking an arsenal of supplements to support my cellular health and recovery but I have definitely felt a difference in energy levels since starting the energenesis - i could almost feel my cells tingling! The taste is very sweet and I find adding it to a smoothie makes it more palatable. It is on the pricey side but for me the science makes sense and it's a worthwhile investment in my health - thank you for bringing this product to my attention!

Surthrival Colostrum 180caps 500mg
Third bottle of this I’ve had, the best colostrum out there. It tastes so delicious out of the capsule, even one pill somehow manages to improve digestion, give my skin a bit of a glow and give me a mood boost! I don’t know what it’s doing to have that effect on my mood, lowering inflammation in the gut or immune enhancing I don’t know, but it’s also stimulating and hard to sleep for me if I take too much, so I have to go slow. Love it and wish I could take tons as it’s literally one of the most beneficial supplements I’ve ever taken.

Living Libations Green Papaya & Lime AHA mask
I have quite sensitive skin so wondered how my skin would react to this product. I applied a thin layer over my face and left for 15 minutes then lightly massaged and rinsed off with warm water. My skin felt soft and smooth after, and was not dried out. I'm looking to using it weekly/bi-weekly as part of my skincare routine.

Zymessence 180 capsules, WAM Essentials (Dr Wong)
Highly recommend. Certainly notice once stop taking. For chronic symptoms 3 per day on an empty stomach seems to help although the label advises one capsule for maintenance.

Mr Oxygen's SUPER OxyFlush 120caps
Firstly, I have been a client of Longevity Essentials for the last two years. Wonderful family business. I found this company just by chance when I found the Aggressive Health Book written by the founder of this website/company – Mike Nash. Fab book that is the genesis of my health program. Mr Oxygen Super Oxyflush is heaven sent. I have been taking for nearly four weeks and what an improvement in my gastrointestinal system. If you have more than one of the following - digetive issues, constipation, bloating or gas, taken in the past antibiotics, strong craving for sweets, bread or alcoholic drinks, psoriasis or skin infections, have had parasites, dealing with fatigue, depression, poor memory or nervous tension, dry skin, rashes, nail infections. Circulatory problems – cold hands and feet. This product along with the following will help: I am currently taking it with the Mr Oxygen Oxyflush and the Immune Tree liquid Oxygen. It best to take them all on an empty stomach – first two capsules of Oxyflush, NEXT take the Oxysulfur with ascorbic acid, NEXT take the Immune Tree Liquid Oxygen. These three will diffidently clean and purify your digestive tract, every organ, blood vessel and cell in the entire body. It does this by liquefying the waste in the system and passing it out through the bowels and urinary tract. Mr Oxygen’s OxySulfur is absolutely the best on the market in my opinion. I have been taking MSM Sulphur for the last three years only noticing moderate results. However, after taking OxySulfur for just four weeks I noticed a vast difference. My hair is shiny and bouncer, my fingernails are strong and white, and my skin is smooth as satin and radiant. Just recently I purchased the last in stock, that is how good this product is.

Organixx – Magnesium 7 60caps
My second bottle. I am happy with it, and it makes a difference to the quality of my sleep. Thank you.
This stuff is changing my body faster than anything else. Fat is melting away yet since taking deer antler I've become ravenously hungry, needing to eat every 2-3 hours. I can tighten my trouser belt by another notch, all my clothes feel much looser on me, and my sciatica seems eased. This is an extremely potent supplement.
I will have to check again next month to make sure it is this medicine that helped me and shocked me. My TSH on October 16 was just over 100. On that day I started with 6 capsules a day, I got tested today, and my TSH is 12, that is a massive drop within 2 months. I took adrenal with this at 4 caps a day. I never noticed anything physically, like less brain fog, more energy....although my toilet is much better. I will report back in another 2 months, I should have normal TSh range. :) Along with taking this medicine, I have done Ujjai pranayam, a special way of breathing for 10 mins a day, and general exercise and I drank a teaspoon of coriander in warm water every other day.
