Optimal Immune System Support
Product Training
THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM
...…is a complicated network of cells, antibodies and
proteins that serves following three main functions:
1. Removes waste and harmful material, to
ensure the normal function of the body.
2. Defends against pathogens - bacteria, fungi
and virus.
3. Kills and removes dead and altered cells.
THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM
......is delicately balanced by a very sophisticated feedback
regulation and control system
• Prolonged immune deficiency can lead to infection, frequent
sickness, lack of vigor and energy and impaired metabolism.
• On the other hand, chronic activation of immune system can
also lead to certain autoimmune conditions such as arthritis,
lupus, nephritis, allergy, etc.
Immune Cells Recognize and Destroy:
Pathogens and Altered Cells
Chemical message alerts
immune system that an
invader is present
Immune cell
“swallows”
foreign invader
REISHI MUSHROOM
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom
is a fungus occurring as a shelf-like form
on the sides of trees and stumps in
densely wooded mountains with high
humidity and low light.
The spores of Reishi have such tough
outer husks that germination is next to
impossible, which accounts for its rarity.
TYPES OF REISHI
There are 62 types of Reishi, of which six are most common:
RED
BLACK
BLUE
WHITE
YELLOW
PURPLE
RED Reishi is preferred because it can produce the highest
quality extract and has been subject to the most scientific
evaluation
TRADITIONAL USE
Reishi, also known as Lingzhi, is one of the most valued
herbal products in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Reishi’s earliest herbal remedies were recorded between
206 B.C. - 8 A.D.
In Taiwan, families often give
Reishi to their aging grandparents
CULTIVATION OF REISHI
In 1971, Yukio Naoi, a researcher of the Kyoto University in
Japan, successfully developed the artificial cultivation of
Reishi, which resulted in reproducible and consistent
production of Reishi.
REISHI SPORES
• These highly active substances are the essence of
Reishi.
• They are the reproductive cells that are released at
maturity.
• However, Reishi spores are protected by an extremely
hard shell which prevent us from optimally absorbing
the actives.

CLINICAL STUDIES ON REISHI
Reishi stimulates the immune system’s ability to recognize
pathogens and altered cells
Reishi provides complementary therapy to promote health
and longevity
• stimulates the formation of antibodies
• stimulates the ability of proliferation of immune cells
• modulates the function of T cells and NK cells
