Mushroom Complex

Mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and other modalities to support the immune system and various other bodily functions. Mushroom varieties believed to provide immune support include reishi, maitake, shitake, and Coriolus versicolor (turkey tail), all of which are high in polysaccharides and antioxidants.

Ojas Mushroom Complex is a hot-water-extracted blend of these 4 mushrooms – reishi, maitake, shitake, and Coriolus versicolor – specifically formulated to help support healthy immune function and antioxidant activity.

Ingredient Highlights

Reishi

• Adaptogen (helps the body adapt to and withstand stress)
• May support immune system cellular function as well as promote focus and sleep
• Referred to as the “elixir of life” in Chinese medicine

Maitake

• Adaptogen (helps the body adapt to and withstand stress)
• May help fortify the immune system and balance blood sugar
• Used in Chinese medicine to support spleen, stomach, and nervous system health

Coriolus versicolor

• May support gut health and improve digestion
• May help decrease cholesterol and inflammation
• May enhance immune system function

Sourcing and Extraction Method

• Ojas Mushroom Complex is derived from mushroom fruiting bodies and standardized to a minimum percentage of polysaccharides and beta-glucans for potency. This sourcing method is superior to supplements that are derived from mushroom mycelium (which contains relatively little of the beneficial active compounds of the mushroom) and to supplements that cannot demonstrate verified potency.
• Hot-water extraction is an effective processing method for the mushroom varieties present in Ojas Mushroom Complex in order to maintain ingredient quality and potency.
