The Chinese caterpillar fungus is a fungus that parasitizes the insect larvae on which it feeds. The infested larva crawls into the ground before dying, where it gradually becomes a mycelium. It emerges in the summer and begins the cycle again, attacking insects. This cycle lasts about 6 years.
This fungus grows in China, Tibet and Nepal at altitudes from 3,800 to 6,000 metres above sea level. In terms of quality, the best caterpillar fungus grows in the Tibetan Plateau. There are over 300 species of this fungus.
You can see interesting footage of the collection of quality caterpillar fungus in the video here:
In China, the caterpillar fungus is used as a natural antibiotic. The power of the caterpillar fungus has also been discovered by athletes who use it to restore the body's strength and quality recovery after a hard training or race. The fungus dilates blood vessels and thus improves the blood supply to the heart and lungs. This leads to improved athletic performance.

It's unexpected, but even such an exotic-sounding mushroom name - Reishi - can be collected here in Europe.
Although mushrooms are mostly native to Asia, they are found in Europe and even in the Czech Republic. This rare medicinal mushroom, Ganoderma Lucidum, grows only on dead hardwood trees and is a wood-boring fungus. Most of you know it as Reishi.
There are more than sixty species of Reishi.
The most potent species of this mushroom grows in Asia, especially in China, and was previously reserved only for the imperial family for its healing abilities. Whoever found it was obliged to immediately hand it over to the imperial court. If anyone failed to do so and it was found out, he was punished with a capital punishment.
Although there are nowadays supermodern laboratories, they have not been able to isolate all the active substances from this fungus. And what they find is completely beyond the understanding of scientists and doctors. More than 250 substances have been found so far, and clinical trials have been conducted on most of them.
The most important role, due to the medicinal properties of this mushroom, is played by beta-glucans (polysaccharides), triterpenes, adenosine and organic germanium.
This mushroom is very important in helping to regenerate and stimulate the immune system. It slows down aging, destroys cancer cells.
It can significantly intervene in the treatment of the following diseases: rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism, various types of cancer such as colon, prostate, breast, lung, ovarian, cervical, as well as Leukemia and it helps people suffering from Diabetes.
It can also significantly help in the treatment of mental disorders, depression, schizophrenia, or cardiovascular diseases.
Many people suffer from angina, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis. It can help regenerate a person's brain and its centers when affected by stroke and myocardial infarction.
Scientists are now investigating the effects of individual compounds isolated from this rare fungus on the following diseases: Parkinson's disease, respiratory diseases, multiple sclerosis, old age infirmity and skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.
This is only a part of the diseases where it can be used successfully, in combination with other mushrooms and herbs. It also depends on the processing and correct dosage of this mushroom. Nowadays, due to the high demand, it is grown in large volumes and commercially in grow rooms.
In our products, Reishi is contained in EQINIL, DELWEX and SHAYA.
It is a mushroom that has a very strange shape of the fruiting body. It resembles a sea coral.
One of the most important substances contained in this rare mushroom is erinacine, which gave the mushroom its Latin name. This substance can stimulate the nervous system, and it is thanks to this that the use of the mushroom leads to improved memory, concentration and thinking and significantly helps with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
In Alzheimer's disease, the active ingredient, simply put, helps regenerate brain tissue and thus counteracts the disease causing its decay. Results supporting these effects have been produced by several studies in which, for example, after 16 weeks of use, there was a significant improvement in function in elderly people. However, other studies have also confirmed the positive effect on the nervous system, although the exact mechanism of action is still shrouded in mystery in some cases.
Just to illustrate - taking dried mushrooms for four weeks has been shown to help alleviate depression or improve sleep quality of menopausal women. Laboratory tests have also shown that hericium erinaceus extract helps protect and restore the myelin sheath that protects nerve cells. This insulating layer, which ensures the efficient conduction of nerve impulses, is affected, for example, in multiple sclerosis.

What about immunity? Chinese researchers from Zhejiang University have found in laboratory studies that hericium erinaceus extract increases the activity of some of its components (macrophages and lymphocytes) against tumours. Similar stimulation of the immune system has been confirmed by Japanese research. Sometimes the mushroom also helps with autoimmune disorders. Externally, its beneficial effect on skin diseases (eczema, allergies, acne, etc.) is recommended. It also has a positive effect on tissue regeneration in frostbite and burns, helps to improve the condition of joints in rheumatism, maintain the vitality and elasticity of the skin and prevent hair loss.
