Enerex uses PETE plastic containers, a thermoplastic polymer  resin. PETE plastic provides a superior moisture and oxygen barrier  compared to the more common HDPE plastic that most vitamin manufacturers  use.

The ingredients in Reishi Defense encompass a simple yet effective  formula for protection and combatting invading bacteria and viruses.  Reishi is long known for its abilities to strengthen immune function,  reduce stress that can weaken our defenses, and support liver function.  Vitamins C and D protect and help activate our immune cells into action  while bioflavonoids battle inflammation, allergies, viruses, and free  radicals.  

Reishi Defence uses top quality Red Reishi extract in a 50:1  concentration and balances this with Vitamin C and bioflavonoids in  equal ratio and strength for greater effectiveness rounded out with a  high potency of Vitamin D. 

Cold hard facts

Being optimally healthy does not mean that you don’t get sick when  exposed to a virus; it’s in how well you deal with it that reveals your  health.  Your body certainly will contract a virus if it doesn’t  recognize it (if you’ve never had it before) and has to build immunity  to it. Over 90% of the population gets sick with viruses every year. 

Reduce your risks and recover faster with nutrients that strengthen  your immune system to combat invading viruses and harmful bacteria.

Enerex REISHI DEFENSE is an exclusive blend of  immune supporting ingredients including Red Reishi Mushroom, Vitamins D3  and C, and Citrus Bioflavonoids to provide a powerful boost, especially  good during cold and flu season. They also offer antioxidant support to  fight free radicals that contribute to disease and premature aging.  Remember, your best defense is a good offense.

Why did we add a mushroom?

Fungi are vital to the health of a forest where they naturally grow,  absorbing chemical toxins and waste from the environment, and helping it  rebuild and regenerate. Their ability to restore balance within nature  is exactly what they accomplish within your body’s internal environment.              

Medicinal mushrooms like the revered Red Reishi support your immune  system by making sure that your white blood cells behave effectively to  stop invading viruses and bacteria, and stop diseased cells from  replicating. Red Reishi Mushroom has been used safely and effectively  for thousands of years in China. It affects over 300 body processes,  particularly in the liver where detoxification takes place. In  Traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi ranks highest among all 365 herbs  listed in its oldest pharmacopeia, considered even more valuable than  ginseng. 

Modern clinical research now validates that Red Reishi Mushroom is able to: 

• Strengthen the immune system
• Calm anxiety and help decrease negative effects of stress (which also helps improve immune function)
• Reduce insomnia
• Promote a healthy brain, and increase memory and concentration
• Stimulate the liver to help the body detoxify
• Support heart and vascular system health
• Increase energy
• Offer anti-aging benefits with antioxidants that fight free radicals
• Reduce muscle tension and pain
• Offer nutrients including protein, fibre, vitamin B and calcium

In addition to Reishi mushroom, we added Vitamin C because it has  been documented through hundreds of research studies to support your  immune system and speed recovery should you catch a virus. For those who  are under significant physical stress, such as athletes, or emotional  stress, supplementing with Vitamin C could dramatically reduce the risk  of severe symptoms.

We also added 1,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 for a daily  top-up due to its overwhelming evidence of immune support to prevent  viruses and diseases including cancer, and due to our general deficiency  in North America. 

The formula also condenses powerful antioxidants from fruits called Bioflavonoids in supplement form. Specific bioflavonoids – hesperidin, rutin and quercitin (from lemons) – offer antioxidant protection for heart and circulatory health, strengthen  the immune system, protect the liver, reduce inflammation, enhance the  power of Vitamin C, protect blood vessels from ruptures, and reduce  oxidative damage.

The Enerex Advantage

Buying a high quality Red Reishi supplement is not as simple as going  to your local (or online) Chinese herbal store. Several factors change  their effectiveness including: 

• growing conditions — such as temperature, light and oxygen
• the surface the mushroom grows on, and the maturity when picked
• the amount of polysaccharides (the therapeutic part of the mushroom) in different Reishi mushrooms
• processing techniques — high quality  mushroom supplements take over 200 pounds of fresh mushrooms to make 1  pound of product, and mushrooms must be dried at a low temperature  before milling

Enerex REISHI DEFENSE uses only top quality whole  plant Red Reishi Mushroom at a ratio of 50:1, 15% Polysaccharides, 2500  mg DHE for its increased benefits.
