Rokkaku Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) - The King of Reishi in Japan
.jpg)
Deer Antler Reishi (Rokkaku Reishi) – Japan’s Reishi King" has a profound history of consumption among humans, dating back at least 2,500 years. Japanese research has identified that the polysaccharide content in Deer Antler Reishi is over five times greater than that of Brazilian mushrooms, making it a long-standing primary source for Reishi materials.
The earliest pharmacological text in China, "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic," lists 365 types of medicinal herbs divided into superior, middle, and inferior categories. According to their status, quality, and function, they are differentiated as "monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy." As a superior herb, Reishi is deemed a monarch, aimed at nurturing life to correspond with the heavens. Notably, Reishi is "non-toxic, can be taken frequently and in large doses without harming the human body, can lighten the body and oxygenate it, and is anti-aging, extending life." Its germanium content is approximately 5-6 times that of ginseng. Among the 120 superior herbs, Reishi stands above ginseng as the most esteemed.
Deer Antler Reishi has always been revered as a special "superior superior" herb. It is mild, neither hot nor cold in nature, and significantly enhances the "spirit and vitality of the human body." It strengthens the physique, regulates the constitution, and maintains bodily functions, making it an ideal health food for strengthening the body and promoting longevity. It also supports the body in removing harmful influences while enhancing vital energy, strengthening the physique, and fundamentally fortifying the body, providing substantial benefits.
Known historically as the "ultimate Reishi," Deer Antler Reishi was not only a tribute for emperors in China but was also presented to the 23rd Emperor of Japan. Valued not only for its rarity but also for its health-enhancing properties, it is traditionally known for nourishing vital energy and fortifying bones and muscles.
"Deer Antler Reishi," also known as Danzhi in Chinese, has a sweet, warm taste and is said to be life-lengthening when consumed over time. Its antler-like branching gives it its name, and it typically exhibits a lacquered shine with reddish or brownish hues. The most potent stage of its growth is when it reaches about 20 centimeters in length and the tips become pale white. This stage, similar to the human prime age of 20, signifies the peak of vitality and nutritional content, categorizing it as the top-tier among Reishis. If it matures excessively, it undergoes a process of lignification where its nutritional value and efficacy diminish, and once aged, its active ingredients significantly degrade.
The yellow-white tips of the Deer Antler Reishi are referred to as "Deer Antler Reishi hearts." Reishi can generally be harvested six times, with the first and second harvests yielding the most nutritious and potent parts of the entire Deer Antler Reishi, making these rare and highly valuable. Due to the challenging cultivation of Deer Antler Reishi, its yield is exceptionally limited, which naturally drives up its market price. Especially since Japanese scientists have shown that the polysaccharide content in Deer Antler Reishi averages 58%, more than five times that of Brazilian mushrooms, it is highly regarded.
Due to the value of Deer Antler Reishi, it is often allowed to grow to maximum size before harvest, as the larger and heavier it grows, the higher the selling price, given that Reishi products are sold by weight. However, if the Reishi is harvested only when fully mature, the quality and effectiveness are significantly reduced due to lignification.
Our company selects high-quality whole Deer Antler Reishi bodies to preserve the most comprehensive and essential nutrients and unique ingredients. Using advanced biotechnology to break down the plant cell walls, the nutrients are released and broken down into small molecules, making them easier for the body to digest and absorb. This cutting-edge biotechnology truly makes an impact on human health.
"Eating for healing" and "synergy in combination" — while single Reishi has good components and effects, to fully harness a range of beneficial ingredients, it's crucial to consider the needs of the human body's organs and systems. A combination of similar natural foods can complement each other, akin to the "monarch, minister, assistant, envoy" methodology in traditional Chinese medicine, leading to infinite beneficial effects.
Organic Germanium in Deer Antler Reishi:
Organic germanium (Ge) is recognized as one of the fifteen essential trace elements necessary for the human body according to Western medicine and pharmacology. Its concentration varies significantly among different types of fungi and plants. For example, artificially cultivated mushrooms contain about 22 parts per billion (PPB) of germanium; Matsutake mushrooms have 28 PPB; wild flat fungi contain 182 PPB; and artificially cultivated Reishi astonishingly contains up to 13,900 PPB. In comparison, ginseng, known for its saponins and germanium, contains about 250 to 320 parts per million (PPM), which is substantially less than Reishi's 800 to 2,000 PPM. This high concentration of germanium in Reishi is what imparts its exceptional qualities, making it a uniquely beneficial mushroom.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the concepts of Qi (energy) and blood are fundamentally linked, with Qi driving the circulation of blood throughout the body. Nerves transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to peripheral nerves; vital energy moves through the meridians; and blood circulates through the vessels. Germanium plays a crucial role in this process by mediating and facilitating the transmission of oxygen throughout the body via the lungs to the brain and other organs. This action of organic germanium is particularly beneficial in promoting a state of health where the body is free from illness and aging, is lighter and more energetic, and maintains a clear and vibrant consciousness.
Moreover, the human body naturally produces endorphins, which are often metabolized and lost. Germanium's stabilizing properties help preserve these endorphins, enabling the natural secretion of these mood-enhancing chemicals. This contributes to a state of well-being, calm, and clarity, promoting a youthful and vibrant life.
This detailed understanding of organic germanium's role highlights why Deer Antler Reishi is so highly valued in health and wellness, offering not just physical health benefits but also enhancing mental and spiritual well-being.
According to the experimental papers of Dr. Kazuhiko Asai of Japan, foods containing organic germanium can be listed as follows:
Foods rich in organic germanium have always been the best choice for health and wellness. The content of organic germanium in Reishi mushrooms far exceeds that of other foods, being about twice that of garlic, three to six times that of Korean ginseng, two to six times that of shiitake mushrooms, and approximately three to eight times that of Brazilian mushrooms. This highlights the preciousness of Reishi.
Particularly, the 'Deer Antler Reishi' among Reishi mushrooms contains 'Organic Germanium' levels between 1680-2000 ppm, which is 3 to 4 times that of regular Reishi mushrooms. When it comes to 'Organic Germanium,' 'Deer Antler Reishi' is definitely the best choice.
Triterpenes:
Triterpenes are a unique and valuable component of Reishi, giving it a distinct taste described as 'bitter.' This bitterness is neither harsh nor astringent, and the 'bitter yet mildly sweet' flavor of Reishi becomes quite pleasant once acquired, leaving a lasting impression. Generally, natural substances—food, plants, or medicine—that are bitter without being astringent tend to promote salivation and quench thirst among other unique effects and functions. Over the past two decades, scientists have discovered that Reishi's triterpenes have extraordinary and unique effects, making these components exceptionally rare and the finest among foods.
Deer Antler Reishi also contains an important compound called 'Ganoderiol F' (841), extracted from triterpenes with a four-ring structure, which is highly regarded in modern nutritional science as a special nutritional element.
Reishi Polysaccharides:
Carbohydrates, also known as 'sugars,' are a major component of biological cells and the main source of stored energy. Recent scientific research has found that sugars play a crucial role in the physiological functioning of the body. These functionally special sugars are mostly located on the proteins on the surface of cells, serving as a medium for cells to recognize and communicate with each other. Polysaccharides regulate physiological functions, enhance metabolism, and reduce fatigue.
The 'Reishi adenine nucleoside' and 'small molecule protein LZ-8' in Reishi contribute significantly to human health. According to research by Dr. Kawano, a Japanese Reishi expert, the beneficial components of 'Deer Antler Reishi' surpass those of all other types of Reishi, especially in terms of the academic studies and reports on its components, which are too numerous to count."
