Reishi Dual Form Culture

Reishi Dual Form Culture is a lab-grade liquid culture of Ganoderma lucidum, made in small batches at our Phoenix production lab.

Reishi is the medicinal strain we feel strongest about. Dual-extract preparation pulls out both the triterpenes and the polysaccharides, which is what the science actually supports.
