There is a category of nutrients that is NOT represented in a government’s Recommended Dietary Allowance: the polysaccharides.

Polysaccharides (multi-carbohydrate) aren’t just fiber, many of these “essential healing sugars” have complex structures that fit into the receptor sites of your immune system and train the immune system to do a better job. Countless studies have demonstrated that polysaccharides and herb extracts and superfood extracts high in polysaccharides promote a revitalizing amount of immune system support to humans and animals, help fight off mutagens and disease, and promote a healthy homeostasis within the body.

Reishi mushrooms

Medicinal mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, Maitake, etc.) are the quintessential source of polysaccharides. Reishi and Chaga are considered the world’s greatest mushrooms. Therefore, anyone interested  in the immunological and revitalizing benefits of polysaccharides should go to extracts of these two mushrooms first and consume them everyday.

What really makes these herbs over the top is that they are truly tonics: you can take them every day with no negative side effects. They work immediately and cumulatively over a lifetime.

Reishi is the Queen of mushrooms and Chaga is King. Both are considered the mushrooms of immortality within the legend and lore of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically Taoist Tonic Herbalism.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), after inoculating a tree or medium of dead plant matter with its mycelial growth, produces a beautiful shiny red fruitbody. The fruitbody (literally the fungi’s reproductive organ) and the spores it secretes are LOADED with polysaccarides and rare myco-chemicals that feed the immune system. Did you feed your immune system today? The subjective effect of reishi is particularly calming while deeply energizing. That isn’t a oxy-moronic statement. The best foods and herbs in the world should make you feel that way: deeply energized (without feeling stimulated) and mentally nourished and relaxed.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) prefers to inoculate living trees, usually birch, in a mostly symbiotic (not parasitic or decomposing) relationship. Chaga is rich in polysaccarides and has countless Russian scientific studies to back its effects. Chaga is darkly pigmented with an ORAC (antioxidant scale) off the charts. It is perhaps the highest antioxidant herb ever. Both mushrooms are polypores, a variety of mushrooms which have tiny holes (or poly-pores) on their underside (instead of gills) which secrete spores. Polypores are considered very evolved and intelligent mushrooms (compared to mildews and yeasts).

ALL MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS FIGHT CANDIDA (despite the fallacies you’ve heard)! In order for a mushroom to survive in the wild and claim a tree for itself, it must have antifungal properties to compete with the other fungi. A pure extract of reishi and chaga has nothing in it to feed candida overgrowth or other fungal infections – it can only fend off such overgrowths in the body.

It’s ideal for everyone to consume reishi and chaga everyday for a robust immune system, long life, mental calm and clarity, and peak physical performance. Speaking of such benefits, I’d like to share my Longevity in a Bottle project with you (because I need your help!)

Longevity in a Bottle is the culmination of my last 10 years in the conscious organic food industry… it’s an epic new organic superfood product that contains 58 of the world’s greatest adaptogenic herbs and superfoods including organic reishi fruitbody extract, spores and mycelium, and wildcrafted chaga fruitbody extract and mycelium! Let my exciting video explain further:
