Reishi Mushroom Tincture – Ganoderma Lucidum Extract

Reishi mushroom tincture – Ganoderma lucidum extract from Kääpä Health Biotech. Organic Reishi is grown in southern Finland on Finnish birch substrate. The substrate is FSC or PEFC certified because of our commitment to sustainable forest practices. The Reishi is a mushroom and one of the most widely used medicinal and healing mushrooms used in Asia, in countries such as China, Korea and Japan. Reishi, which is the Japanese name for the mushroom, is mainly found in medical literature or on the Internet under the Latin name Ganoderma lucidum or Lingzhi / Ling Zhi which is the Chinese name for the mushroom. In Dutch, we know the mushroom as the stalked lacquer mushroom.

Mushrooms such as Reishi are held in very high regard in Asian medicine, this is because they have medicinal properties for a number of diseases. Because they were previously very rare, they have unfortunately been unavailable to many for more than centuries. They were quite rare in nature and were not bred at that time. This has changed a lot in recent years, this through greatly improved breeding methods. Today, mushrooms are grown in several countries under very controlled conditions, such as in special tunnel greenhouses. Growing in these greenhouses ensures a high-quality mushroom, which is then available to everyone in sufficient quantities.

What this mushroom is best known for are the tremendously positive effects it has, such as increasing resistance and many positive effects on our immune system. The Reishi mushroom improves the condition, which is why it is often used by people who are undergoing or have already undergone radiation.

Extraction 2.0 – Why do we extract?

Mushrooms require an extensive extraction process to make their interesting compounds bioavailable. That’s because the cell walls of mushrooms are made of chitin, a natural fibrous substance that is generally considered indigestible in the human gut. For example, if non-extracted mushroom powder is consumed, most of the compounds would pass right through the human digestive tract.

However, behind the chitin walls lie valuable components that are beneficial to our health. While cooking can help bring out some of the medicinal properties, there is one preparation method that allows for the most optimal bioavailability of medicinal mushroom compounds: extraction.

Through certain extraction methods for each species of mushroom, the interesting compounds become bioavailable. Extraction also allows us to concentrate the compounds of interest for our mushroom tinctures. Therefore, extraction is fundamental in creating an effective mushroom supplement. So by carefully extracting mushrooms, we ensure that they become biologically available to humans and have an active effect as soon as they are digested.

The compounds of interest to KÄÄPÄ Health are those that have been clinically shown to evoke health-promoting effects, such as β-(1,3)-(1,6)-D-glucans, or simply beta-glucans.

Why do we extract as we extract?

At KÄÄPÄ Health, we use leading Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) technology to produce pure and potent mushroom extracts. The advantages of using the UAE method are to optimize the bioavailability of compounds of interest in mushrooms. This new technology increases the effectiveness and efficiency of the extraction process.

UAE also allows us to extract at lower temperatures, which is beneficial for heat-sensitive compounds. Heat is needed to extract certain compounds, but too much heat can also destroy other important compounds. By increasing extraction effectiveness with UAE while reducing heat, we can produce more potent, broader spectrum mushroom extracts.

Combined with the UAE, our extraction protocols also use traditional extraction processes. All mushrooms require hot water and many are also followed by extraction with ethyl alcohol. The hot water releases the water-soluble compounds and the alcohol extract dissolves the chitin to release the water-insoluble compounds. In the UAE, a very high-frequency shock wave (also called acoustic cavitation) is used to break down the cell walls of the mushroom and release the compounds of interest without damaging the compounds. This not only greatly increases the yield of compounds of interest, but also reduces the time required for extraction.

Our focus with UAE technology is to produce the most potent mushroom supplement on the market by understanding and applying the latest research techniques and technology in mushroom extraction.
