For over 2000 years Reishi mushrooms (ganoderma lucidum extract powder) have been recognized by Chinese medical professionals as a valuable remedy. Its Chinese name Lingzhi, means "spiritual potency". Reishi mushrooms are regarded by the Chinese as the "Medicine of Kings". Dr. Shi-Jean Lee, the most famous Chinese medical doctor of the Ming Dynasty, strongly endorsed the effectiveness of Reishi in his famous book, Ban Chao Gang Moo ("Great Pharmacopoeia"). He stated that the "long-term taking of Reishi (Lingzhi) will build a strong, healthy body and assure a long life.

Ganoderma lucidum, also named Lingzhi or Reishi, has been widely used all over the world for centuries. The fruiting body (above-ground part) and mycelium (filaments connecting a group of mushrooms) are used as medicine. Reishi contains beta-D-glucan, triterpenoids, and ganoderic acird which is believe to be the key to modulate the body’s immune response by linking to the beta glucan receptors found on the monocytes (macrophages), neutrophils, and NK cells.

Scientists have isolated several chemicals in Reishi that have pharmacological (medicinal) effects on the body, amongst which are polysaccharides, which have been shown to help the body fight cancerous tumors and also stimulate the immune system to combat infections and viruses.
