Why add reishi mushroom
Adding high-quality organic active reishi mushroom achieves perfect balance among bioactivated nutrients. Reishi mushroom (ganoderma or glossy ganoderma) is a symbol of "longevity, beauty, and wealth" for its positive effects.
Reishi mushroom, also known in Chinese as Ling Zhi, means "divine mushroom of immortality". It has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for several millennia.
Reishi is the oldest mushroom used in Chinese medicine. It contains all eight essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of body proteins, from which the body creates muscle. Reishi is revered as one of the rarest and most beneficial plants in nature.

Be careful when choosing
When choosing a food supplement, it is important to select based on the content of polysaccharides and possibly triterpenoids. Generally and simply put, polysaccharides stimulate immunity, triterpenes exhibit anti-cancer effects.
Supplements that do not state a guaranteed standardized content of polysaccharides should be excluded from selection. This is very important because such products will be of no use to you and will only support unscrupulous manufacturers who do not care about your health, but only about your money.
It is also necessary to choose capsules/tablets that contain mushroom extract. The basic dried mushroom mixture is ineffective in treatment. The reason is that the mushroom's cell wall is made of chitin.
Humans do not have enzymes for digesting chitin (the enzyme chitinase is needed), and during digestion, they are unable to break down the chitin shell, and the entire content of the mushroom is excreted by the body. Hot water extraction can break the chitin barrier and make active substances available to the body.
With chitinase, the enzyme for digesting chitin, it's not entirely that people don't have it at all. Some people don't have it at all, some have it in small amounts, and a certain group of people have it in sufficient amounts.
Chitin levels are genetically determined and depend on the place of birth. In countries where the diet is rich in foods containing chitin, the ability to produce chitinase has gradually evolved.
From our perspective, the Czech Republic does not belong to these countries. And manufacturers who sell powdered basic mushroom capsule mixtures are selling just very expensive powder, which the vast majority of us will excrete very quickly.

Research
Living Nutrition Kef-Flamex produced significantly higher secretion of interleukin 10 (IL-10), which is a signal in the body that reduces inflammation.
Living Nutrition Kef-Flamex significantly reduced the secretion of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6), which are signals in the body that increase inflammation.
Research also found:
- Increase in polyphenol levels by 63%
- Increase in antioxidant activity by 49%
- Inhibition of 5-LOX - inflammatory enzyme by up to 83%
What are adaptogens
Adaptogens are used in situations where, for example, stress, anxiety, or physical exertion is induced. At that moment, full adaptation of the organism occurs (the emergence of non-specific resistance), which allows physiologically managing stressful and physically demanding situations, stress, anxiety, increased physical exertion, etc.
In short, your body adapts to the situation in an instant and deals with it calmly. Adaptogenic substances increase the body's resistance during mentally demanding periods. Our body becomes stronger and more vital.
Adaptogens are substances that increase the body's resistance during mentally demanding periods.
- Generally, two types of adaptogens are recognized, calming and stimulating.
- Besides holy basil, calming adaptogens include ashwagandha.
- Stimulating adaptogens include rhodiola root, maca root, or ginseng.
Adaptogens also have the ability to act where the body needs it, thereby stabilizing all functional systems in the body.
WARNING: according to American dietitian Holly Herington, adaptogens do not work like a cup of coffee, their effect is not felt immediately. The body needs between 6 to 12 weeks for adaptogens to build up in the body and for you to notice any difference.
The original batches were encapsulated in organic fermented tapioca capsules, new batches are in plant cellulose capsules. Both types of capsules are fully plant-based and suitable for vegans; the cellulose capsule was chosen for higher stability and lower moisture sensitivity. The change only concerns the capsule's casing, not the fermented herbs themselves. Customers may receive the original or new batch depending on current stock.

Why Living Nutrition fermented preparations
Fermentation-activated capsules from Living Nutrition offer a top level of active ingredients. Thanks to fermentation, these vital components are activated, and the human body is able to absorb and utilize their positive effects to the maximum. Fermented herbs and mushrooms retain their holistic synergy, while being much more concentrated and bioavailable.
Thanks to the fermentation process, they are also rich in beneficial microbes, enzymes, and contain a range of signaling molecules specific to the fermentation process.
Each capsule contains an organic blend of herbs and mushrooms fermented over a long period using the kefir-kombucha method, characteristic of Living Nutrition, and then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all unique nutrients. The ingredients are then encapsulated in a plant capsule, making them truly 100% organic inside and out.
Who is behind the production?
The dietary supplement is formulated by renowned English nutritional therapist, Graham Botfield, to achieve the right synergy of nutrients, where each food and herb perfectly complement each other.
Only the best organic ingredients are used for their freshness and vitality. The fermentation production process (details in the tab under the name Fermentation Process) is also designed and controlled by Graham.
The production of each blend in this product line is individually supervised, as each blend has different composition, requirements, and purpose. All fermented blends are gently freeze-dried to maintain their freshness and capture the highest possible amount of active nutrients.
Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher specializing in the digestive microbiome and traditional use of herbs. He has collaborated with renowned supplement brands, including New Chapter.
Its founder and master herbalist Paul Schulick had a great influence on Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired supplements. Together with another colleague, a microbiology expert, Graham continuously develops new fermented preparations and explores their benefits.
Besides fermentation, Graham's great passion is education. He uses his research at Living Nutrition for lectures on the benefits of fermented plants for modern health conditions. At Living Nutrition, they continue to be inspired by Graham's research in creating products that work in harmony with the body's natural ecology.

History of Living Nutrition
2014
LN's beginnings were very humble. Back then, everything was run from a single room in Graham's house in Sussex with some help from daughter Ella. The product line was initially launched with only one product, Your Flora, and the Signature herbal line.
2016
With the growing popularity and enthusiastic feedback reaching all over Europe, Graham began to develop and add more products. To manage the logistics, Living Nutrition moved under Living Planet Distribution so Graham could focus more on formulations and research.
2019
This has been a pivotal year for Living Nutrition. Their popularity has grown significantly due to customer feedback and interest in our fermentation. LN has won several awards, including the Natural and Organic award for best new herbal product for their fermented ashwagandha. They decided to take the big step and take fermentation into their own hands.
This has allowed them to introduce some innovations, including the use of the Flask system to "restructure" the input water and some new methods to increase the efficiency and diversity of the microbes in their fermentation process. In collaboration with research institutions, they have now been able to study the effects of our fermentation for different conditions.
2021
In April, LN introduced a second generation of products with new eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging and an even more effective line of fermented products.

"If we change our approach to medicine from fighting disease to creating health, we will move from mega-dosing inert nutrients to the more subtle healing elements found in nature. Then we will value plants for their natural intelligence that feeds information to our many cellular senses to promote healing. Fermentation is nature's alchemy that evolves plants to a higher level of vitality and nutrition, creating compounds that communicate balance and harmony to our bodies on all levels."

Living Nutrition's unique fermentation process
Step #1
At the beginning of this process is the careful selection of the freshest organic ingredients (biodynamic if possible). The water used is also double filtered and restructured using a specialised Flaska system.
Step #2
A highly concentrated and active inoculum is created by a hybrid of organic kefir grains and organic kombucha.
Step #3
An inoculum is added to the organic herbs and foods, the whole mixture is then fermented in small 10 litre batches under optimal conditions.
Step #4
After many weeks of care, including daily stirring and testing, fermentation is finally complete.
Step #5
The ferments are then carefully freeze-dried to remove all water and preserve all the delicate nutrients, enzymes and microbes.
Step #6
The finished product is finally sealed in an organic vegetable capsule wrapped in an amber glass bottle and 100% plastic-free packaging.
