Reishi mushrooms contain polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules) called Beta Glucans that increase RNA and DNA in the bone marrow where immune cells, like lymphocytes, are made. Lymphocytes are cells found in the blood, lymph, and lymphoid tissues, which contain white blood cells, T and B cells. Mushroom polysaccharides, the same type of compounds found in astragalus, increase the activity of macrophages, which have a voracious appetite for harmful microorganisms and cancerous cells. Polysaccharides also trigger the production of a type of white blood cell that kills a wide range of infectious microorganisms and tumor cells.

Reishi mushrooms also have strong antioxidant properties, which can protect the body from the harmful effects of radiation and free radicals. They can be used to boost your immune system and may also increase the effectiveness of antioxidant vitamins when the two substances are used together.

Reishi mushrooms are believed to suppress tumor growth and are often used in cancer prevention efforts for this reason. Russian researchers at the Cancer Research Center in Moscow have had positive results using reishi extracts to boost the immunity of cancer patients.
