Buy Reishi – Standardised Extracts From the Lacquered Bracket Fungus

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), also known as the lacquered bracket fungus, is a culinary and medicinal mushroom from the Ganodermataceae family and is one of the most traditional mushrooms in Asia. Characteristic of it are its bioactive polysaccharides (beta-glucans) as well as the triterpenes, which Ganoderma research lists as key marker compounds. In this category you'll find reishi extracts from Scheunengut – standardised to a defined content, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Reishi grows on deciduous wood, but today is mostly cultivated and harvested to achieve consistent raw material quality. For extracts, the dried fruiting body is gently processed and standardised to its valuable compounds.

Standardisation & Form

What matters is the extract ratio (e.g. 20:1) and the standardised polysaccharide content – high-quality batches often show around 40% bioactive polysaccharides. Reishi is available as capsules or powder, with clear information on dosage and extract strength. As a medicinal mushroom, it is often listed alongside related species such as cordyceps and lion's mane.

Häufige Fragen zu Reishi

What is reishi traditionally valued for?

Reishi, also known as the lacquered bracket fungus, is one of Asia's most traditional vital mushrooms and has been highly valued there for centuries. At its heart are its bioactive polysaccharides, the beta-glucans, along with its characteristic triterpenes. Today, many people use it as a concentrated extract as part of their daily routine.

How is reishi produced?

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) grows on deciduous wood, though today it is mostly cultivated and harvested to ensure consistent raw material quality. For extracts, the dried fruiting body is gently processed and standardised to its key active compounds. This keeps the mushroom's characteristic compounds concentrated and intact.

What do the extract ratio and beta-glucan content tell you?

The extract ratio, such as 20:1, shows how concentrated the mushroom extract is. Even more important is the standardised content of polysaccharides, or beta-glucans, which high-quality extracts state transparently. This information helps you tell genuine concentrates apart from weaker products.

Is reishi suitable for everyone?
