Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as reishi mushroom, has been used as a valued botanical ingredient in East Asian tradition for centuries. Its naturally occurring polysaccharides and triterpenoids are the most extensively studied components, which is why standardized extracts are preferred over simple mushroom powder for industrial formulation.

Raw material sourcing → cleaning and crushing → extraction → filtration → concentration → drying → milling → sieving → laboratory testing → packaging → batch traceability. Every production batch is manufactured under ISO and GMP quality systems.
Every batch is tested for polysaccharide content, triterpenoid content, heavy metals, moisture, ash and microbiological parameters, and can be supplied with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and third-party test report. Certifications such as ISO, HACCP, Halal and Kosher are available for qualifying lots.
Store in a cool, dry place away from strong light and heat, in a well-sealed container. Keep away from moisture to preserve the free-flowing character of the powder.
Polysaccharide and triterpenoid specifications, extract ratios, packaging and labelling can be customized. OEM and private label services are available — please contact us for samples and quotations.
