Pharmanex has developed an exclusive multi-step extraction process that increases the yield and concentration of active ingredients. Most reishi products only use one extraction process, which results in a product with lower concentrations of active ingredients, and often lacks the triterpene compounds. This exclusive technology detaches additional polysaccharides from the cell walls. The resulting product, ReishiMax™, is standardized to 6% triterpenes and 13.5% polysaccharides, which is the highest level of actives currently available in a Reishi product.
