Reishi: Powder Extract - Sporelife

Description of Reishi: Powder Extract

Sporelife is a French brand specialising in adaptogenic mushrooms, born from a trip to Asia in 2019 that revealed the potential of these functional mushrooms. The brand focuses on modern, accessible formulas designed to integrate these ancestral traditions into everyday routines.

Sporelife's Reishi powder extract is presented as an exceptionally high-quality concentrate for people looking to cultivate moments of inner calm. This mushroom, nicknamed the mushroom of immortality in Asia, comes in a powder form that is easy to add to any drink, hot or cold. Each 1-gram serving is equivalent to 15 grams of raw mushroom thanks to a 15:1 extraction ratio, significantly concentrating the active compounds.

The powder has a brown-yellow colour and a subtle taste, making it easy to work into your daily rituals without altering the flavour of your preparations. In nature, Reishi stands out for its glossy lacquered cap and grows slowly on hardwood stumps, characteristics that Sporelife captures in this modern and practical format.

This product is particularly recommended for people who want to encourage relaxation and build lasting day-to-day balance. Traditionally consumed in the evening, Reishi fits perfectly into relaxation rituals such as herbal teas, evening lattes or hot drinks before bedtime. The benefits associated with Reishi are linked to its richness in polysaccharides and triterpenes, compounds naturally present in this mushroom that has been revered for thousands of years.

Composition of Reishi: Powder Extract

Sporelife Reishi extract contains 95% pure mushroom, complemented by 5% maltodextrin. This maltodextrin is a natural complex sugar derived from corn, added to stabilise polysaccharides during the extraction process and prevent the powder from clumping. It also helps dissolution in liquids without altering the mushroom's properties.

The main ingredient comes exclusively from the mushroom's fruiting body, guaranteeing an optimal concentration of active compounds. The extract is standardised to 30% polysaccharides and 2% triterpenes, two categories of compounds naturally present in Reishi. These levels are measured and monitored in the laboratory for every production batch using UV analysis.

The 15:1 extraction ratio means that 15 kilograms of fresh mushrooms are needed to produce 1 kilogram of extract powder. This process greatly concentrates the polysaccharides by removing non-digestible fibre through water extraction, delivering a concentration 15 times higher than standard dried mushrooms.

Each batch undergoes comprehensive analyses covering polysaccharides, active compounds, heavy metals, pesticides and microbiological controls. The product has been submitted to the relevant French authorities in accordance with European regulations on food supplements.

How to use Reishi: Powder Extract

The serving recommended by Sporelife is to mix half a teaspoon, or around 1 gram, into your favourite drink. This serving can be added to coffee, tea, a smoothie, plant milk or any other hot or cold liquid preparation.

The powder's subtle and neutral taste makes it easy to incorporate without changing the original flavour of your drinks. Traditionally, Reishi is consumed in the evening to accompany relaxation rituals, whether in an herbal tea, an evening latte or a hot drink before bed.

With a daily intake of one teaspoon, one 30-gram box lasts around 1 month, making it easy to establish a regular routine. To optimise effectiveness, it is advisable to maintain consistent intake and follow the recommended serving size.

Sporelife extracts can be combined with one another depending on individual needs. However, it is recommended to start with small amounts to test personal tolerance. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet, and in the case of medical treatment, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a healthcare professional should be consulted before use.
