Like many foreigners in Korea, I used to get colds that lingered for weeks. The germs in Korea are tough on most foreigners. And work-related stress and lack of sleep often weaken our immune systems just when we need them most.
Recently I haven't had any problems because I've been taking ResishiMax (standardized Reishi Mushroom Extract capsules) from Pharmanex. This is a safe, all natural dietary supplement. Each capsule contains 495 mg of standardized Reishi mushroom extract and 5 mg of Reishi cracked spores.
ReishiMax is intended for adults who wish to maintain a healthy immune system; who smoke or who are frequently exposed to environmental pollutants; who do not get enough sleep; or who are under constant stress.
ReishiMax is not cheap at 120,000 won for 60 capsules (a one month supply). It works for me and it's worth the money. Becoming a Nuskin/Pharmanex distributor gets you a significant discount (yes I know network marketing has a bad repuation, but it's free to join; I did and have no regrets).
If you want ReishiMax (its available through Pharmanex distributors like myself) or have some questions, you can email me: jtrotta@gmail.com or call me (leave a message with your name and number if I'm not in): 032-345-2046 or call my wife's cell phone: 016-366-2046
ReishiMax FAQ:
What exactly is in ResihiMax?
ReishiMax is composed of Reishi fruiting bodies and cracked spores. The key active constituents found in Reishi include polysaccharides (beta-1,3-glucans) and triterpenes (ganoderic acids and others). Other ingredients naturally found in Reishi include nucleosides, fatty acids (oleic acid), and amino acids. The active ingredients in ReishiMax are standardized to 6% triterpenes and 13.5% polysaccharides. ReishiMax also contains a 1% extract of 100% cracked spores.
How do I take Reishimax?
The recommended use is to take one to two capsules of ReishiMax bid with food and liquid. For optimal health benefits, take one (1) capsule twice daily for health maintenance, and two (2) capsules twice daily for immune modulation.
I take one capsule twice daily and that's all I need to stay healthy.
Are there any side effects?
I haven't noticed any, except for the time I took ReishiMax and then rushed off to class without drinking any water. My mouth and throat felt pretty dry. Remember we're talking about mushroom extract not some chemical formula so its safe.
Here's the official version: ReishiMax is safe and well tolerated at the recommended dosage. In animal studies, Reishi has been shown to be non-carcinogenic, has not produced hepatic toxicity, and has not impaired growth or development. In high doses (1.5 - three pills- to 1.9 grams/day - four pills), some people have experienced temporary symptoms of sleepiness, thirst, rashes, bloating, frequent urination, abnormal sweating, and loose stools.
Take two pills a day and you'll be fine.
So it's perfectly safe?
As usual there is a disclaimer: Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant or nursing, or taking a prescription medication, consult a physician before using this product. Consult a physician if you are concurrently using anticoagulants, receiving immunosuppressive therapies or have an immune disorder. Individuals with known fungal allergies should be cautious when taking Reishi. Discontinue use of this product 2 weeks prior to and after surgery.
