Benefits at a Glance

• Full-spectrum mushroom extract boosts immune system function
• Enhances function of hematopoietic stem cells, T-cells, and immune factors
• Supports production of antioxidant enzymes that benefit immunity
• Extract standardized for triterpenes and includes spores

Medicinal mushroom extracts have been around for years, but Life Extension has taken our extract to the next level. While other extracts are standardized to polysaccharides only, our Reishi Extract Mushroom Complex has been standardized for triterpenes and includes spores. The result is a full-spectrum mushroom extract whose components have been shown to enhance the protective activity of the body’s hematopoietic stem cells, T-cells, and other critical immune factors.1-8 Reishi’s triterpenes, polysaccharides, and other constituents assist activation of the cell surface receptors that modulate normal immunity.9-11

Reishi mushrooms have also been shown to support production of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione. These antioxidants work to support the body’s natural immune defenses against free radicals.12, 13
