In 1980, we saw an emergence of Ganoderma lucidum in various studies to evaluate the powerful polysaccharides of reishi for possible antitumor effects and supportive properties for brain dysfunction.

Today there are 24+ clinical trials in the works to study reishi, making it one of the most prominent and well-studied medicinal mushrooms over the coming years. These studies encompass a variety of research including possible treatments for cancer, colitis, Parkinson's and overall immune function.
