So what’s the deal with Reishi Mushrooms AND why are they beneficial to you especially when you’ve got a cold, the flu, or a sore throat?
REISHI MUSHROOMS
A USEFUL TOOL IN THE WAR AGAINST THE COMMON COLD AND FLU
The Reishi Mushroom – is considered the king of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one that has been treasured for centuries. One that is loaded with antibacterial and anti-viral properties, which is perfect for battling the common cold and flu.
Reishi can be the perfect supplement to help support your immune system, regardless if you’re already sick or just want to take preventative measures against the cold and flu. Studies have shown there are two substances in the Reishi Mushroom that make it the antiviral powerhouse fungus.
- TRITERPENES are beneficial in anti-inflammatory, liver protection, anti-tumor, and immune regulation, which makes it one of the main beneficial compounds in reishi alongside the beta-glucans. And …
- COMPLEX POLYSACCHARIDE compounds, which can help stimulate the immune system by increasing immunoglobin levels, which are essential to the defense of foreign cells such as pathogens and microbes.
