Question 1

I don't understand what "4:1 extract" means. Help?

Accepted Answer

From http://www.ahpa.org/default.aspx?tabid=223:Extract ratios. Listing of the extract ratio of a soft or powdered botanical extract is not a mandatory labeling requirement for retail products. There are differing opinions concerning the value of listing extract ratios on the retail label. However, where such ratios are stated, they shall conform to the following convention.  The first number shall represent the amount of dried botanical starting material, the second number shall represent the amount of finished total extract. For example, a 4:1 extract is one in which each kilogram (or other unit) of finished total extract represents the extractives from four kilograms (or other unit) of dried botanical starting material.

Question 2

Can you make tea with this powder and how do you make it?  Not interested in adding to smoothies.

Accepted Answer

Tea can be made by adding 1 tsp. to a cup of boiling water.  Honey or a sweetener of your choice can be added for taste.  I just add a teaspoon to my black coffee in the morning.

Question 3

Is this made from the full mushroom or from mycelia?

Accepted Answer

The package states, " Our reishi mushrooms are organically grown and carefully water extracted to a 4:1 concentration ensuring our 100% pure powder maximizes this herb's potent detoxifying effects."  Ingredients on package: certified organic reishi mushroom powder.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

I've heard you shouldn't eat mushrooms raw b/c mushrooms need to be broken down to release the cancer fighting properties. Have these been cooked?

Accepted Answer

How did you extract the Reishi benefits from raw Reishi? It takes hours of boiling when I do this, to make the benefits available. Is yours a true extract, or is it a powdered Reishi, or both?
