There are six scientifically studied benefits of the reishi mushroom. The first three are backed by stronger evidence: they boost the immune system, they have anti-cancer properties and can fight fatigue and depression.
While support for the others is less conclusive but they’re not exempt from potential benefits: it may increase “good” HDL cholesterol and decrease triglycerides, can improve blood sugar control and can enhance antioxidant status in the body thanks to its antioxidant composition.

COLOSTRUM
Colostrum is a breast fluid produced by humans, cows, and other mammals before breast milk is released, which promotes growth and health in infants and newborn animals.
It’s very extremely nutritious and contains more nutrients than regular milk, high levels of antibodies, which are proteins that fight infections and bacteria.
Even though all mammals produce colostrum, supplements are usually made from the colostrum of cows. This supplement is known as bovine colostrums, similar to human colostrum — rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, disease-fighting proteins, growth hormones, and digestive enzymes.
But its claimed health benefits are mostly linked to specific protein compounds, which include:
- Lactoferrin: a protein involved in your body’s immune response to infections, including those caused by bacteria and viruses.
- Growth factors: hormones that stimulate growth. Bovine colostrum is especially high in two protein-based hormones, insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2, or IGF-1 and IGF-2.
- Antibodies: also known as immunoglobulins, used by your immune system to fight bacteria and viruses. Bovine colostrum is rich in the antibodies IgA, IgG, and IgM.
Research suggests that bovine colostrum may strengthen your immune system, thanks to its high concentration of the antibodies IgA and IgG. Thanks to its composition of a variety of antibodies and the protein lactoferrin, it may help prevent diarrhoea associated with bacterial and viral infections, such as traveller’s diarrhoea, which is typically caused by E. coli bacteria. It also promotes gut health by stimulating the growth of intestinal cells, strengthening the gut wall, and avoiding intestinal permeability. These beneficial effects are likely due to the lactoferrin and growth factors it contains.
MAITAKE, SHIITAKE AND REISHI
Eastern medicine makes use of many different plants and fungi. Interestingly, the reishi mushroom is particularly popular.
For many years, these fungi have been a staple in Eastern medicine.
Within the mushroom, there are several molecules, including triterpenoids, polysaccharides and peptidoglycans, that may be responsible for its health effects.
While the mushrooms themselves can be eaten fresh, it is also common to use powdered forms of the mushroom or extracts that contain these specific molecules.
These different forms have been tested in cell, animal and human studies.
MAITAKE
“Maitake” means dancing mushroom in Japanese. The mushroom is said to have gotten its name after people danced with happiness upon finding it in the wild, such are its incredible healing properties.
This mushroom is a type of adaptogen. Adaptogens assist the body in fighting against any type of mental or physical difficulty. They also work to regulate systems of the body that have become unbalanced. While this mushroom can be used in recipes for taste alone, it’s considered to be a medicinal mushroom.
Compared to other mushrooms, maitake has shown better results in preventing and treating cancer and other health conditions. Maitake also has a positive effect on overall immunity.
Laboratory research suggests that maitake may be effective in treating certain illnesses. More studies are needed to confirm its effect on humans, but the current findings are promising for Cancer, Cholesterol and Type 2 Diabetes treatment.
SHIITAKE
Shiitake mushrooms have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. They’re also part of the medical traditions of Japan, Korea, and Eastern Russia.
In Chinese medicine, shiitake are thought to boost health and longevity, as well as improve circulation.
Studies suggest that some of the bioactive compounds in shiitake may potentially protect against cancer and inflammation.
In addition, shiitake contain many of the same amino acids as meat.
They also boast polysaccharides, terpenoids, sterols, and lipids, some of which have immune-boosting, cholesterol-lowering, and anticancer effects. And may also help fight infections and promote bone health.
REISHI
The reishi mushroom, also known as Ganoderma lucidum and lingzhi, is probably the best-known fungus from Asian medicine.
