For preventative and health purpose, what is the difference in health benefits between reishi spore oil and the fruiting body?
Reishi spore are the tiny seeds released from the reishi when the reishi mushroom matures. After the spores have cracked, the oil that comes out had been known to oxidize, and the oxidation of the reishi oil was shown to create an unpleasant odour and become harmful to human cells. Therefore, the health benefits and safety of consuming reishi spores oil have yet to be tested and verified by scientific research and clinical studies. The benefits of reishi’s fruiting body have been proven to work for over thousands of years. Its miraculous health-enhancing properties have been well documented by Oriental cultures for centuries.
