Reishi spore oil (triterpenoid extract)
What it is
A lipid-soluble fraction extracted from cracked Ganoderma lucidum spores, concentrating ganoderic-acid triterpenoids that are largely absent from standard fruiting-body reishi powders. Animal data support immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective effects; human trial evidence remains thin and is mostly from East Asian oncology adjunct studies. Distinct from generic reishi and considerably more expensive per dose. Cracked-spore certification matters — uncracked spores are essentially indigestible.
Dose
500–1,000 mg cracked-spore oil daily with a fatty meal
Time of day & tips
Always pick cracked-spore products; effects develop over weeks not days; potential mild antiplatelet effect — caution with anticoagulants.
