Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as Reishi mushroom, is a medicinal mushroom traditionally used as a botanical ingredient in health and wellness products. The fruiting body contains a diverse range of naturally occurring compounds, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, proteins, sterols and other bioactive constituents. Because it is a complex mushroom extract rather than a single chemical compound, its composition depends on the mushroom part used, extraction method and standardization.
MEDIOCON INC supplies Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi Mushroom Extract) as a nutraceutical and functional-ingredient raw material for dietary supplements and wellness formulations. Extracts can be produced from the fruiting body or other mushroom material, with specifications tailored around parameters such as polysaccharide content, triterpenoid content, extraction ratio and botanical identity.
Reishi mushroom extracts are commonly standardized using characteristic marker groups such as polysaccharides and triterpenes/triterpenoids. Triterpenoids include ganoderic acids and related compounds, while polysaccharides represent another important group of constituents. The actual percentage of these constituents varies considerably among commercial extracts, so the manufacturer's COA should be used to establish the exact standardization for a particular grade.
The extract is typically supplied as a fine brown to dark-brown powder, although colour, odour, solubility and active-marker concentration can vary according to the extraction and drying process. Water extracts and dual extracts can have substantially different phytochemical profiles, making the extraction method an important part of the product specification.
MEDIOCON INC can supply Ganoderma lucidum extract according to the required mushroom part, extraction method, polysaccharide/triterpenoid specification, physical characteristics, packaging and quality requirements. Applicable COA, Specification Sheet, TDS, SDS and other quality documentation can be provided according to the supplied grade and batch.
Polysaccharides are one of the major constituent groups used to characterize Reishi mushroom extracts.
Reishi contains numerous triterpenoid compounds, including ganoderic acids and related triterpenes.
Ganoderic acids are characteristic triterpenoid constituents associated with Ganoderma species and may be used as analytical markers in standardized extracts.
The mushroom also contains sterols, proteins, amino acids and other naturally occurring compounds contributing to its complex chemical profile.
Important: Do not specify a fixed polysaccharide or triterpenoid percentage unless that exact value is supported by your product specification/COA.
