10 Benefits of Reishi
Reishi Benefit #3: Improves Liver Function
The liver is one of the most important organs and has a plethora of functions that, if not utilized, would cause detrimental effects on an individual. The liver is important to filter blood from the digestive tract, detoxify chemicals, metabolize drugs, and numerous metabolic processes which aid in producing energy.
In a study done by Food and Chemical Toxicology in 2013, it was found that reishi could protect the liver when exposed to different levels of toxins in mice. In another study, patients suffering from hepatitis B for three months saw positive effects of using reishi. In fact, just after a month, a significant decrease in inflammation was measured. It is believed triterpene in reishi helps with liver regeneration.
