MIKEI Red Reishi essence capsules contain extremely concentrated Red Reishi essence extracted from no less than 250 g of Red Reishi, (8-10 full-sized dried Red Reishi fruit plants) using the most advanced hot water extraction method.

The hot water extraction method involves taking the best Red Reishi from the harvest and then drying it under hot temperatures, removing all the moisture in the Reishi mushroom. The Reishi fruit body is then ground into powder which is boiled in water to extract the essence juice. The juice will be boiled at least three times and then vacuum dried to obtain the pure Red Reishi essence powder. The end product, MIKEI Red Reishi Essence, is easily absorbed by the human body when consumed in this state.

What are the benefits of Reishi?

Red Reishi is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates called water-soluble polysaccharides, triterpeniods, proteins and amino acids. Researchers have identified that water-soluble polysaccharides are the most active element found in Red Reishi that have anti-tumour, immune modulating and blood pressure lowering effects.

Another major active ingredient found in Red Reishi are triterpenes , called ganoderic acids. Preliminary studies indicated that ganoderic acids help alleviate common allergies by inhibiting histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions. Triterpenes are bitter in taste and the level of the triterpene content contained in a product can be determined by the bitterness.

Regular consumption of red Reishi can enhance our body's immune system and improve blood circulation, thus improving better health conditions. Generally, Reishi is recommended as an immune modulator and a general tonic. Red Reishi is also used to help treat anxiety, high blood pressure, hepatitis, bronchitis, insomnia, and asthma.

Detoxification Symptoms

During the initial period of intake of Reishi, sensitive individuals may experience some detoxification symptoms such as:

• Dizziness
• Sore bones
• Irritated skin
• or changes in bowel movements

These are all NORMAL signs of recovery and an indication that the medicinal effect of Reishi is functioning well. This is the body’s way of excreting accumulated toxic matters originating from modern day processed foods and vigorous actions of the body’s metabolism.

The above-mentioned reactions and the duration of the detoxification symptoms differ from each individual. Some consumers might not have any reactions at all. If they do experience symptoms, it generally lasts a few days until the body adjusts to the higher state of wellness and becomes accustomed to the regular intake of Reishi.

Daily consumption of a large amount of water is also recommended to help the body with the detoxification process.

It is important to note that these physiological reactions are only temporary, unlike side effects from most medications.

Note: Unlike MIKEI Red Reishi Essence, the majority of Reishi products in the market place are made with pulverised powder from Reishi which is not refined further to produce the extracted essence powder. Taking Reishi products that are not futher refined is crude and not beneficial since the body can not efficiently absorb the active ingredients.

Recommended Use: For preventive purposes, please take 1 - 2 capsules once daily. For individuals with health problems, please take 2-4 capsules twice daily. It is recommended to take your daily dosage with Vitamin C for better absorption.
