Myco Zen is made up of two of the most revered mushrooms, reishi and lion’s mane. This is a traditional blend revered for its ability to calm and nourish the ‘Shen’, or spirit. Reishi and lion’s mane contain a rich diversity of beneficial compounds and have been revered in traditional medicine.
Ancient texts and folklore often refer to the Reishi mushroom as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality’, underscoring its revered status. In traditional Chinese medicine, its name is often associated with healing, longevity, and immortality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, lion’s mane was used as a tonic for supporting overall health and longevity.
Our Myco Zen contains Pure Grade extracts of organic reishi and lion’s mane. Both mushrooms are dual extracted to release and concentrate their polysaccharides and triterpenes. This blend contains a minimum of 15% beta glucans and polysaccharides to support immunity.
