Reishi has been used for centuries as a tonic for longevity, vitality, and balance in traditional Chinese medicine. Today, researchers study it for its immune-modulating and adaptogenic properties — much of which is linked to its unique compounds:

  • Beta-glucans (water-soluble polysaccharides)

  • Triterpenes (alcohol-soluble antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents)

  • Sterols, peptides, and phenolic compounds

Why Beta-Glucans Matter

  • Immune Modulation: Unlike immune stimulants (which only “push” the immune system), beta-glucans act like a smart thermostat for immunity — increasing response when needed (like during illness) and dialing down excessive inflammation when not.

  • Gut-Immune Connection: Beta-glucans act as prebiotics, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria. Since ~70% of immune cells live in the gut, this indirectly supports stronger immunity.

  • Cellular Defense: They activate macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and other immune cells to help detect and eliminate abnormal cells.

  • Resilience: Long-term use has been associated with better recovery from stress, improved energy levels, and fewer seasonal immune dips.

Triterpenes – Beta-Glucans’ Powerful Partner

Reishi’s triterpenes are alcohol-soluble compounds known for:

  • Calming the Nervous System: Helping the body adapt to stress and promoting deep, restorative sleep.

  • Supporting Liver Function: Assisting in detoxification and protecting against oxidative damage.

  • Cardiovascular Benefits: May help support healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and circulation.

Daily Benefits of Reishi Tincture

  • Supports healthy immune function year-round

  • Promotes relaxation and reduces the impact of stress

  • Enhances sleep quality and recovery

  • Rich in antioxidants for healthy aging

  • May support balanced inflammation in the body

The Foraging Bears Difference

Our dual-extraction process ensures you get both beta-glucans (from the hot water extraction) and triterpenes (from the alcohol extraction) — a complete, bioavailable form of Reishi’s powerful compounds. And because we forage and grow our own mushrooms, you know every drop starts with real, whole fruiting bodies — never imported powders or fillers.

Meet Stevie & Chad Bear

We’re Stevie and Chad Bear — the hearts, hands, and muddy boots behind The Foraging Bears. Our story isn’t one of big factories or corporate branding. It’s about two people who fell in love with each other, the forest, and the powerful medicine nature has to offer.

Stevie has a deep passion for herbalism, wildcrafting, and the slow, intentional art of turning plants and mushrooms into wellness remedies. She’s happiest with a basket in hand, exploring the forest floor for the season’s treasures or tending to rows of mushrooms we’ve nurtured from spore to harvest.

Chad’s love for nature started with hiking and foraging adventures, but quickly grew into a dedication to cultivating mushrooms and learning the traditions behind them. He’s the builder, the grower, and the one who makes sure every step — from drying racks to tincture bottles — is done right.

Together, we’ve blended our skills, curiosity, and respect for the natural world to create The Foraging Bears. For us, it’s more than a business — it’s a way of life. Every mushroom we harvest, every tincture we craft, is part of our shared journey to live closer to the land and help others do the same.
