ReishiMax GLp® has been demonstrated to support healthy immune system function and stimulate immune cell proliferation. ReishiMax GLp® is a proprietary Reishi extract, containing the highest level of actives currently on the market. This standardised product also incorporates cracked spores, a unique technology that releases Reishi's active ingredient, providing unique immune activity not found in other Reishi products.
Reishi spores are minute brown egg-shaped reproductive cells that are released by the mushroom at maturity. The spores are protected by an extremely hard shell, which prevents the polysaccharides (a chain of glucose units) and triterpenes (a lipid compound) contained in the spore from being absorbed. Pharmanex uses technology which mechanically 'cracks' the spores, making the active ingredients bioavailable (easily absorbed into the body).
Reishi has been shown in clinical studies to support immune function and promote immune cell proliferation both in animal and in vitro clinical studies. An unpublished, comparative study conducted by the Medical Institute at National Taiwan University found that ReishiMax GLp supported immune function when compared to a placebo. A study comparing reishi products from China, Taiwan, and the U.S. found ReishiMax GLp to be the most potent and effective Reishi product available.**
