traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine and has been used for its superior medicinal
benefits for more than 2,000 years. Known as Ling Zhi or "Herb of Spiritual Potency" in
Chinese medicine, Reishi improves immune and liver function, gently detoxifies, has
powerful anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral properties, and also has anti-
