How It Works
How It Works
Red Reishi mushroom contains naturally occurring compounds that support immune function and help your body adapt to stress. The micronization process breaks down the mushroom's tough cell walls, making these beneficial compounds more available to your body than standard mushroom powders.
Who It's For
Adults seeking natural immune support during busy seasons. People managing daily stress who prefer traditional approaches. Those who want therapeutic-grade mushroom supplements with proven cultivation standards.
Who It's Not For
This isn't for people wanting immediate energy boosts. Red Reishi works gradually as part of consistent daily use.
About This Product
Purica Red Reishi Mushroom (VCaps) are vegetable capsules of organic, full-spectrum red reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), 400 mg per capsule, in glass bottles of 120 or 60. The product is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80028468. Reishi mushroom is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to tonify Qi, calm the spirit, and relieve cough and wheezing.
What is in each capsule
One capsule holds 400 mg of red reishi grown in Canada on organic plant material. Full spectrum means the powder is made from the whole growth cycle of the mushroom, from the thread-like mycelium to the fruiting body, instead of one stage alone. Purica mills that material down to particles of 1 to 10 microns. Mushroom cell walls are made of chitin, a tough fibre, and fine milling breaks that structure open without a water or alcohol extraction step.
Red reishi is called lingzhi in Chinese and mannentake in Japanese. The two compound families researchers look at most are triterpenes, such as the ganoderic acids, and polysaccharides, including beta-glucans. The capsule shell is hypromellose, a cellulose from plants, and the other non-medicinal ingredients are silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose and plant-source magnesium stearate. Nothing in the capsule comes from an animal.
How to take it
The label dose for adults is 2 capsules 2 times a day. At that rate the 120-capsule bottle lasts 30 days and the 60-capsule bottle lasts 15 days. The label asks you to see a TCM practitioner first if you have excessive conditions, and not to take it while pregnant or breastfeeding or with a reishi allergy. The full cautions are in the directions tab.
Capsules or powder
Purica sells red reishi in two forms: these 400 mg capsules, and a loose powder measured by the quarter teaspoon. The capsules give a fixed amount with no scoop and no earthy taste, and they travel well. The powder suits people who already stir mushrooms into tea, broth or a smoothie.
Who it suits
Adults who follow Traditional Chinese Medicine ideas about tonic mushrooms, and people who drink reishi tea and want a measured capsule instead. The 120 count is the lower price per capsule; the 60 count is a smaller first bottle.
