Traditional Uses of Reishi

Reishi has traditionally been used in Japan, Korea, and China to:

  • Ease breathing and support lung health
  • Promote heart function and circulation
  • Calm the mind and reduce fatigue
  • Strengthen immunity and resilience
  • Restore balance to the liver, kidneys, and Qi

Reishi’s Benefits Proven by Research

Traditional Roots. Now With Scientific Backing.

Reishi is no longer just folklore.

Modern science has begun to validate what traditional healers knew all along.

Studies now suggest that Reishi can:

  • Strengthen the immune system
  • Regulate stress
  • Promote Sleep
  • Support long-term vitality

Reishi contains natural compounds that help the body strengthen its immune system and keep cells healthy.

Top Benefits of Reishi Mushrooms

  • Boosts Immune Function

    Reishi may enhance the activity of white blood cells, particularly T cells, which help fight infections and cancer.

    It shows promise in modulating immune responses and reducing inflammation.

  • Shows Anti-Cancer Potential

    Reishi extracts have demonstrated the ability to kill cancer cells in lab settings and may enhance quality of life when used alongside traditional cancer treatments.

  • Reduce Fatigue & Boost Mood

    Some studies suggest that Reishi could help lessen fatigue, anxiety, and depression - especially in people with chronic illness or undergoing cancer treatment.

  • Supports Heart Health

    Early research shows Reishi may help lower cholesterol and triglycerides while improving “good” HDL levels.

  • May Help Regulate Blood Sugar

    Certain compounds in Reishi have been shown to lower blood sugar in animal studies. However, human trials show inconsistent results.

  • Contains Antioxidants

    Reishi is a natural source of antioxidants, which can protect cells from oxidative damage.

Not All Reishi Is Created Equal

As interest in Reishi has grown, so has the number of products on the market. And not all of them deliver what they promise.

Some use only mycelium instead of the full fruiting body. Others contain fillers, low concentrations, or lack proper extraction.

That’s where Concord comes in.

Since 1984, we’ve focused on doing one thing well - producing potent, high-quality Reishi supplements that stay true to tradition while meeting today’s standards.

What makes Concord's Reishi Supplements so special?

Concord formulas have been clinically proven to boost immune markers.

In a groundbreaking 2005 clinical study conducted in partnership with the UN, participants who used Concord's formula (Sunchih) daily showed a significant increase in CD4 cell counts - a key marker of immune strength.

Understanding CD4 Cells

CD4 cells are specialized white blood cells that act as the "generals" of your immune system. They coordinate your body's defense against infections, viruses, and other threats.

Higher CD4 counts = Stronger immune protection.

"Doubles the CD4 Cell"

The higher the CD4 count, the stronger your Immune System.
