Mycology Research Laboratories Reishi-MRL (Ganoderma lucidum) is not an extract of Ganoderma lucidum, it does contains both mycelium and primordia (young fruit body) cultivated into a biomass that is grown on a sterilised (autoclaved) substrate.This cultivation process ensures that it is free from contamination by other fungi and that pesticides and heavy metals are absent. The cultivation system is proprietary, allowing for standardised production of Ganoderma lucidum. The Reishi-MRL biomass contains mycelium and primordia (young fruiting body) of the respective mushroom. In comparison to Resihi extracts, biomass has the advantage of no unwanted shift of effect which happens with extracts or concentrates, including lyophilisation, and thus the activity of the product corresponds with the source mushroom, while being further intensified by utilizing the entire mycelium.Mycelium biomass of mushrooms offers a mixture of many co-operating and co-related healthful bioavailable ingredients prepared by nature itself – it is thus a truly pure natural product.Mushrooms spend more than 90% of their life cycle in the mycelium. Since mushrooms cannot produce their own energy through photosynthesis, the mycelium must be able to actively obtain or produce extracellular compounds and metabolites that promote the longevity and vitality of the living mushroom. These properties lie behind the high enzymatic activity of the mycelium, which stays preserved in the carefully processed MRL products.Manufacturing Process of Reishi-MRLThe tablets are film coated to protect them from moisture, thus preserving the quality of the product and ensuring a long shelf life.After passing quality control testing the tablets are released for use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about this product
What is Mycology Research Laboratories Reishi-MRL?
Reishi-MRL is a Ganoderma lucidum supplement from Mycology Research Laboratories in film coated tablets. Instead of an extract, each tablet contains mushroom biomass made of mycelium and primordia, the young fruiting body, grown on a sterilised substrate.
How is Reishi-MRL different from a reishi extract?
Reishi-MRL is a whole biomass, not an extract. Mycology Research Laboratories says using the entire mycelium and primordia avoids the shift of effect that happens with extracts or concentrates, so the activity matches the source mushroom.
How many Reishi-MRL tablets should I take daily?
Mycology Research Laboratories suggests 2 to 6 Reishi-MRL tablets per day as a dietary supplement. A serving of 2 tablets provides 1,000 mg of Ganoderma lucidum biomass. Please consult your doctor before use.
Is Reishi-MRL certified organic?
Yes. The Ganoderma lucidum biomass in Reishi-MRL is certified 100 percent organic in the United States by Quality Assurance International, under certificate number 103491-A, according to Mycology Research Laboratories, the maker of the tablets.
Can vegetarians take Reishi-MRL tablets?
Yes. Mycology Research Laboratories says the additives in Reishi-MRL make the tablets suitable for kosher or vegetarian use. Other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearic acid and vegetable magnesium stearate.
