Why the preparation matters

The cardiovascular trials used different preparations, with analyzed doses of 1.4 to 3 g daily. These study doses do not establish an equivalent amount for every tea, powder or extract. 1

NCI notes that mushroom-supplement brands and batches may differ. It also states that reishi is not FDA-approved as a treatment for cancer or another medical condition. 2
