ReishiMax

100% Natural

Locked deep inside the Reishi mushroom are tiny

spores that are particularly beneficial for the immune
system. Through the Pharmanex proprietary
cracked spore technology, these potent immunesupport ingredients are now more bioavailable than
ever in this ReishiMax GLp formula. Pharmanex
has also developed an exclusive multi-step extraction
process that increases the yield and concentration of
active ingredients. The resulting product, ReishiMax
GLp, is standardized to 6% triterpenes and 13.5%
polysaccharides, which is the highest level of actives
currently available in a Reishi product.*
