The trend toward a healthier diet and lifestyle will be reinforced and supported by the new paradigm shift in food that is currently known as functional foods. This category, defined as they are by science, must be supported by scientifically sound product specifications and formulations. It is therefore incumbent upon companies that enter this arena to take up the challenge of offering truly effective products capable of enhancing health.
Scientific research into the compounds responsible for Reishi mushroom activity began in the 1970’s in China and Japan. Scientists discovered highly active beta-(1>3)-glucans with the ability to potentiate innate immunity by activating immune cells. Also discovered were secondary metabolites called triterpenoids which were present in significant amounts and sets Reishi apart from all the other medicinal mushrooms.
A large body of research as well as traditional use has demonstrated that Cordyceps militaris has similar active compounds and activities to Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Today, for the first time, C. militaris fruiting bodies, rather than mycelium, are available. Not only that, they are being cultivated on substrates free from any insects. It is now absolutely certain that your Cordyceps product is genuine.
Lion’s Mane is a choice edible that grows wild on deciduous trees and is now extensively cultivated on sawdust substrates. Hericium erinaceus is an immunomodulator that is useful for many conditions where immunity is compromised. It has also been traditionally used for stomach ailments. Current research suggests that Hericium erinaceus may help mitigate age related cognitive decline.
