Nicknamed "the mushroom of immortality", Reishi ( Ganoderma lucidum ) is a true ancestral treasure, used for over 2,000 years in Asia. It has long been prized in traditional practices, notably by Taoist monks, herbalists and Chinese royalty, for its role in the quest for balance, vitality and longevity.

Recognizable by its shiny surface and fan shape, Reishi is distinguished by its exceptional composition. This mushroom contains more than 400 bioactive compounds including triterpenes and polysaccharides. It is also the most studied medicinal mushroom to date, with more than 5,000 scientific publications exploring its many applications and its growing interest in research.
