Organic Reishi Double Extract (2 oz)

Our process is developed with a commitment to quality. Our hot water extract uses purified water and fresh reishi fruit bodies, maintaining a consistently low temperature over 48 hours then reduced by half to increase concentration. Our alcohol extract uses certified organic 190 proof grape alcohol and dried reishi fruit bodies.

To ensure a highly concentrated, therapeutic product our extract is crafted in small batches by hand using as much material as possible while remaining fully submerged. Each extraction process uses new reishi material to ensure potency. We produce all of the mushrooms used in our extracts in Eugene, Oregon, and ensure best practices in our cultivation process by using high quality substrates consisting of organic rye, pure oak sawdust with no added oils, organic grain hulls, and purified water.
