Reishi and shiitake: mushrooms with immunomodulating effects**

The use of mushrooms like Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) has a tradition going back more than a thousand years. The knowledge of these mushrooms developed independently in Japan, China and India. Each mushroom is unique and provides its own health benefits. Reishi and Shiitake are particularly appreciated for their immune-balancing activity.*

Everyday our body is confronted with a wide range of different pathogens. To fight off intruders and to stay healthy our body has an effective protection system with powerful defense mechanisms: the immune system. A balanced diet, plenty of outdoor exercise and a balanced psyche are essential prerequisites for a resilient and healthy immune response. However, the body often needs additional external aid. Here selected micronutrients and mushroom extracts can support the body’s defenses.*
