What makes this reishi complex different than the other reishi products?

We have done a ton of work on reishi over the years, probably more than anyone else in the world. I talk about some of it, but most of it I keep private. We've done a lot of science in the background, and are actually working on a more comprehensive assay method for gandoderic acids than the USP monograph. We actually discovered that the USP methods have coeluting peaks on some things, so where the USP method is saying there is X% of one ganoderic acid, we are finding it is a mixture of two ganoderic acids. However, the USP method uses HPLC, where our method uses UPLC. We just get better separation in the column on our UPLC, so we can see things others can't. Let me show you what I mean.
Here is a chromatogram from one of our reishi extracts
This is from our method development project, where we are identifying all the ganoderic acids in reishi. The USP monograph only looks at 10 ganoderic acids. So when you see people saying X% ganoderic acids, most of the time it's referring to the USP monograph, which is only counting 10 of them. However, you can see there are a lot more peaks in our reishi than just those 10. You can see at least 27 peaks in that chromatogram. We have validated the identities of 15 so far, so 5 more than the USP monograph, but are working on 12 more. In fact, we have already pretty much solved what those other 12 are. We are just doing validation work on them to be 100% certain. Our methods will be the most comprehensive reishi testing methods in the world. It's very similar to our ashwagandha methods, where the USP method only quantifies 8, and ours quantifies 21.
As part of all this work, we have figured out there are a lot of really interesting bioactive compounds in reishi. However, not all parts of the fungus make them, and not all grows or extraction processes bring them over. This means if you want to make the most comprehensive reishi product, you need to take multiple extracts from multiple parts of the fungus. This is what we did with Lucidimax. Most products that we test on the market have zero detectable ganoderic acids. Seriously... it's bad. Most stuff sucks. The ones that do usually only have like 0.1%. The highest we have seen in someone else's product was 1.69% in Real Mushrooms' Reishi Longevity+ product. That's the highest we have seen in a competitor product. We use a 14% ganoderic acid extract in Lucidimax! FOURTEEN PERCENT. Even our high beta-glucan extract had 0.53% ganoderic acids. So our extract standardized to something completely different has more ganoderic acids than 99% of the products on the market, before we even added the 14% in. This means Lucidimax is the most potent reishi product in the world for ganoderic acids. However, ganoderic acids are only part of the story. Many of the general immune effects are from the beta-glucans. So we put in a 50% beta-glucan lossless water extract of reishi fruiting bodies in there. That extract is meant to give the beta-glucans, but it also has a good amount of ganoderic acids, making the total amounts in each dose 16mg ganoderic acids and 200mg beta-glucans. Again, beta-glucans and ganoderic acids are not all the story. We have sold a supercritical CO2 extract of reishi spores for years called LucidiSpore. Many people, myself included, really like the unique effects of LucidiSpore. It's so amazing for sleep. The spores of reishi contain terpenes, but they are very different than the ganoderic acids in the fruiting bodies. The ganoderic acids in the fruiting bodies of reishi are triterpenes, but they are not the same. My theory is that reishi uses these spore terpenes in its biological process as it grows, and they then become the ganoderic acids in the fruiting body later in its life cycle. However, that will take some more science to prove.
So that is a longer answer, but it really gets to why Lucidimax is different. You are getting high amounts of beta-glucans, fruiting body ganoderic acids, and spore terpenes in one single product. This will give you all the benefits reishi has to offer without having to take multiple different reishi products. Furthermore, our ganoderic acid claims are based on the USP monograph. That means the 16mg of ganoderic acids is only looking at the standard 10 from USP. As you can see from the chromatogram, there are a lot more in there, so you are getting much more than we are even claiming on the label. In addition, we put in sodium caprate as a bioavailability enhancer, to help open the tight junctions in the small intestine, allowing more of these bioactives to get into the body. It's the best reishi on the planet... so far!
