Reishi

Is your mushroom a case of mistaken identity? Mushrooms are notoriously tricky to identify. For every remarkable species with distinct benefits, there may be a look-alike that’s fundamentally different at a genetic level. New Chapter always looks to innovate, never imitate. Years ago when we introduced LifeShield™ Mushrooms, they delivered the fungi’s whole life-cycle to bring the whole profile of compounds to you. Today, we’re again pioneering in the field with new, uncompromising quality standards for mushrooms. New Chapter’s mushrooms are Identity Assured, so you know that what you see is what you get. Reishi is one of the most revered tonic mushrooms that helps maintain vitality, longevity and wellness.* Reishi identification shows the importance of precision. While Reishi is usually called Ganoderma lucidum, there are different varieties referred to by that name. The authentic Lingzhi strain is a mainstay in the Chinese herbal tradition: consumed by emperors and long respected for its many benefits. Recently, mycologists DNA-matched Lingzhi with a specific Chinese variety of Ganoderma lucidum. New Chapter tested samples of products labeled G. lucidum and found that some do deliver the renowned Chinese variety—including ours. But others are formulated with less studied forms, such as a North American or European type. New Chapter seeks to deliver true Lingzhi, with studied benefits and a long history of use… so that’s what you’ll find in our LifeShield Reishi. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
