Ingredients
What's actually in the bottle
The whole Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) fruit body, domestically sourced and organic.
Recovered from the same mushrooms and returned to the tincture in the final spagyric step.
Used to draw out the alcohol soluble compounds.
Used in the hot water extraction, which draws out the water soluble compounds.
Rooted in tradition
A mushroom revered for millennia.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a shelf fungus that grows primarily on hardwood trees, with a glossy surface that gives it the moniker varnish conk. It is one of the most revered mushrooms in China, where it is called Lingzhi and often referred to as the 10,000 year mushroom, or the mushroom of immortality.
It appears in the Shennong Bencao Jing, the oldest surviving Chinese materia medica, among the superior herbs taken over long periods to nourish vitality and the whole person. It has long been used as a tonic for calm, restful sleep, and a long life.
Planetary correspondence
The Sun
Reishi is associated with the Sun. Its shining conk radiates from deep red at the center out to a soft white growing edge, and it touches nearly every center of our vital nature: the heart, the immune system, and the nervous system.

What sets us apart
Why our extracts are different
The part of the mushroom used traditionally.
We start with the mushroom itself, U.S. grown or wild harvested, never mycelium on grain. A tincture can only be as good as what goes into it.
A Complex Whole Mushroom Extract.
Alcohol draws out the compounds water leaves behind, like triterpenes and sterols. Hot water draws out the water soluble beta glucans. We run both, so the finished tincture carries both.
Mineral salts returned.
In the final spagyric step, we recover the mineral salts from the spent mushroom and return them to the tincture, so the extract is completed with the mushroom's own minerals.

FAQ
Questions? Here are your answers
Some people notice a difference right away. For most, the benefits build over 2 to 4 weeks of daily use.
A tincture is quick to take and easy to adjust. Take it under your tongue or add it to a drink. Our spagyric tinctures carry the alcohol soluble, water soluble, and mineral parts of the mushroom in one bottle.
Many people take our extracts alongside other supplements. If you take prescription medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition, check with your healthcare provider before adding a new supplement.

Keep it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Best if used by the date on the label.
Yes. Every batch is tested by a third party lab for microbes. We also test for pesticides, heavy metals, and identity on a skip lot schedule, and we confirm the identity of every raw material when it arrives.
Not yet! While we have tested multiple rounds of tinctures, we have experienced inconsistency with current labs and methods. The Megazyme protocol, typical for beta glucan assays, was initially designed for yeast, and the method is for powders. It is a destructive method that gives general beta glucan content, but does not distinguish between beta glucan types. It also is not effective in most cases for liquid extracts, and most labs process them inconsistently. As for secondary metabolites, there are currently no validated methods for secondary mushroom metabolites on the market. We have preliminary data on quality we are happy to share, but we will not publish COAs on metabolite profiles until we are confident in the information that is being represented.
