Ganoderma lucidum extract

Ganoderma lucidum extract (CAS 223751-82-4), also sourced and traded as Reishi Mushroom Extract, is a standardized botanical derived from the fruiting body or mycelium of the fungus. It is used across food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries primarily for its antioxidant activity and immune-modulating properties.

Buyers typically source it in standardized forms calibrated to polysaccharide or triterpene content. In dietary supplements and functional foods, it is incorporated into capsules, tablets, and powdered drink blends where immune support and antioxidant positioning drive label claims.

Beverage manufacturers use it in functional teas, coffees, and wellness shots, where its compatibility with liquid formats supports clean-label formulation. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators source standardized grades to meet consistent active-content specifications across batch production.

In personal care, it is used in anti-aging serums and skin creams where antioxidant activity supports product efficacy claims. This extract is available as a fine spray-dried powder, suitable for encapsulation, blending, and direct compression.

Standard commercial grades are typically standardized to polysaccharide content, commonly 10 percent to 50 percent, or triterpene content. Some suppliers offer dual-standardized specifications to meet specific formulation needs for high-end nutraceutical products.

Food-grade and organic-certified variants are available to meet clean-label and regulatory requirements across major markets. The material is processed to ensure compliance with global safety standards for heavy metals and microbiological purity.
