Brief Introduction

Astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component, it can be found as a food supplement. The supplement is intended for human, animal, and aquaculture consumption.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes, which are built from five carbon precursors; isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate . Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll (originally derived from a word meaning “yellow leaves” since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygen-containing moities, hydroxyl or ketone , such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin. Indeed, astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and/or canthaxanthin, containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated (alternating double and single) double bonds at the centre of the compound. This chain of conjugated double bonds is also responsible for the antioxidant function of astaxanthin (as well as other carotenoids) as it results in a region of decentralized electrons that can be donated to reduce a reactive oxidizing molecule.

Function:

1.Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and may protect against oxidative damage to body tissues.

2.Astaxanthin can improve the immune response by increasing the number of antibody producing cells.

3.Astaxanthin is a potential candidate to treat neurodegenerative disease such as Alzhimer and Parkinson diease.

4.Astaxanthin dan reduce UVA-light damage to skin such as sunburn, inflammation, ageing and skin cancer.

Application

1.When applied in pharmaceutical field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antineoplastic;

2.When applied in health food field, astaxanthin powder is used as food additives for pigment and health care;

3.When applied in cosmetic field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antioxidant and anti-aging;

4.When applied in animal feeds field, astaxanthin powder is used as animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.

Intro
Autoimmune conditions are becoming an epidemic around the world and its crucial that we add in natural tools to our daily regimen to help regulate that immunity. Today we are going to talk about Reishi Mushroom.

Name of herb
Reishi Mushroom also known as: Reishi (Rayshe), Lingzhi in china, Mannetake in Japan, Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma tsugae and more. For this video we will stick to the commonly known and used Reishi: Ganoderma lucidum which is one out of the 219 species of ganoderma.

During the Han dynasty around (206 BC – 9 AD), the mushroom’s name Lingzhi was first recorded. Ling means “spirit” or “soul” and zhi means plant or in this case fungi. Lingzhi is depicted to contain a mixture of spiritual potency and immortality. It symbolizes health and wellbeing, success in life, longevity and divine like power.

Reishi was given its first binomial name Boletus lucidus in 1781 by the English botanist William Curtis. In 1881, Petter Adolf Karsten gave reishi the genus name Ganoderma.

The botanical name ganoderma lucidum comes from greek and latin words. The greek word ganos means “shining” and derma means “skin”. Ganoderma literally translates to “shining skin”.
The Latin word lucidum means “shining”. Put together: Ganoderma lucidum roughly translates to: shining skin shining. How about we call it shiny fungi?

Origin
Over 2,000 years ago the first written description of reishi was in the book Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing during the Han Dynasty around (206 BC – 9 AD).

It is thought that purple wild reishi from the white snake legend is the first of the reishi species. Possibly originating in the Changbai Mountains.

Some people also believe reishi and other wood eating mushrooms came to earth from other planets deep in the universe by meteors or cosmic winds. They believe it is of its own form of intelligence aiding in the development of ecosystems by creating healthy soil. In return, allowing other plants to grow. It is thought that these extraterrestrial mushrooms are gathering tree’s levitational energy, ormus minerals, information about earth and upgraded genetics from its experiences on earth. Hmm? Interesting…

History
Reishi has been found in paintings, carvings, buildings, on women’s accessories, and on furniture such as the emperor’s throne.
Around 214 BC, the first emperor of the Chin Dynasty heard rumors about this immortality giving herb growing somewhere in the eastern paradise. The emperor sent expeditions of 500 men and 500 women by ship to find this herb of immortality. They never returned. Did they find the herb and keep it for themselves? It is thought that they actually landed in japan and colonized there.

Since reishi was so rare and strongly valued for its medicinal benefits in China, it was forbidden to common people and mainly only available to the rich and privileged in China. You can find reishi art at the Forbidden City in Beijing carved into stone holding the boundaries of the emperor’s throne, on the emperor’s throne and on the heart chakra of the last emperors robe, depicting its value to emperors over common people. Even the folklore regarding reishi says that if someone was to find the mushroom, they wouldn’t tell those closest to them because it was so valuable.
This medicine may be forbidden due to the fact that only two to three trees per ten thousand have the mushroom growing on them. We don’t have to worry about that in our time thanks to modern technology. Reishi mushrooms are now mass produced by growing them on hardwood logs, woodchips and sawdust. I still urge you to learn about foraging reishi in your environment to reap the benefits of wild medicine. It is very rewarding to find wild reishi in the woods.

Even though it is readily available in stores, reishi can still be one of the more expensive supplements on the market. Especially reishi mushroom spore oil, costing around $150 for a 30 day supply. Be sure to visit brandongoji.com if you’re looking for an an affordable reishi supplement that doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars.
Benefits
Shen
There are two main benefits reishi is commonly known for. The first being associated with shen.
It is thought to tonify shen, the spiritual element of your psyche. Have you ever noticed someone that has dull eyes like a cloudy curtain in front of their eyes and they just doesn’t seem to be consciously all there? They seem to be experiencing some form of mental disorder right? Some people may perceive this dullness in those people’s eyes as if they are soulless. According to traditional chinese medicine, its actually weak shen.
