DUANWOOD REISHI EXTRACT (20:1 dual fruiting body extract, 10% polysaccharides, 5% triterpenes) ? 1000 mg

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used in natural medicine for thousands of years and is a source of Qi (Chi) energy - vital life force, and is known today primarily as a "calming mushroom" due to the subjective feeling of zen associated with its consumption.

Reishi is a very well-known and essential gold standard of tonic adaptogenic herbs/functional mushrooms. According to TČM, as a first-class Qi and Shen tonic with the ability to strengthen Jing energy, Reishi is one of those rare elite herbs that nourishes all of the "Three Treasures" in traditional Taoist medical science. Known for its potent immunomodulatory abilities (a scientifically validated health claim, see below) along with its broad spectrum of polysaccharides and species-exclusive triterpenes, this mushroom has formed a symbiotic relationship with the human immune system over 1000+ years of use.

ANCESTORS' HISTORY AND USE OF REISHI

Known throughout its ancient Asian homeland as the "mushroom of immortality" and highly regarded by Taoist masters, Reishi was originally (like most of the important and valuable tonic herbs of the Old World) held exclusively in royalty for the nobility, prepared and offered only to the emperor and his nobles.

The first record of Reishi was in a collection of transcribed writings from the oral tradition of Shennong, the mythical god-king of ancient Chinese medicine and agriculture, entitled "The Shennong Ben Tao Jing", which appeared around 200 AD, and stated that "long-term consumption of Reishi mushroom will lighten the body and prevent aging, prolong life and gain immortality" - hence the name "mushroom of immortality".

CONSCIOUS PROCUREMENT AND TRADITIONAL EXTRACTION

Primal Alchemy premium Reishi is sourced from Di Tao and organically grown on large Duanwood logs buried in natural wild forest soil, absorbing the sacred energy of the mystical Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian Province, China, a place connected to the magic of the legendary Taoist sage Peng Zu. The remote forests here are untouched by industrialized China and with slightly acidic soil create perfect conditions for growing semi-wild Reishi of the highest quality in the world.

It is then expertly dual extracted and the extract is created by the current generation of a 300-year-old Reishi-cultivating family dynasty and in accordance with the wisdom of traditional Chinese herbalism.

The special extraction process allows for the full extraction of both water and alcohol soluble compounds while preserving all naturally occurring active ingredients in their harmonious proportions as nature intended - which maximizes their synergistic effects due to the final concentration and unlocks the full potential of Reishi as a powerful adaptogenic extract and not "just a mushroom". The resulting concentrated 20:1 solution is lyophilized (freeze-dried) to maximize the preservation and security of valuable polysaccharides, beta glucans and triterpenes, which are particularly revered in relation to immunity. Reishi in such an ingenious form is considered not only a harmonizer (calming tonic), but also an immune adaptogen.

GETTING THE BEST REISHI ON THE PLANET

Closely associated with the legacy of the legendary Taoist sage Peng Zu and the spiritual homeland of authentic Duanwood Reishi originating from Di Tao sourcing, the beautiful Wuyi Mountains hold a sacred resonance deep within the northern Fujian province of China. The slightly acidic soil here and its isolation from industrialized China make this location the perfect growing base for the world's best semi-wild Reishi.

WILD SIBERIAN CHAGGA EXTRACT (52% CHROMOGENIC COMPLEX) ? 1000 mg

A powerful concentrated tonic powder made from 12:1 mushroom extract of pranically charged Siberian Birch Chaga. Only first-class, at least 10-year-old, mature wild birch Chaga, the fruiting body of which is wildly and sustainably harvested in accordance with the Di Tao principle from the mystical Altai Mountains in Siberia - a land with a rich history of Siberian folk medicine and shamanic herbal traditions.

Expertly extracted in accordance with the wisdom of traditional Siberian herbalists and then lyophilized (freeze-dried) to maximize the preservation of chaga's valuable native composition, for which it is revered as a powerful adaptogen with unique properties and called the queen of all adaptogenic mushrooms.

Chaga is a parasitic fungus, capable of growing in harsh conditions, and which takes decades to grow and mature on a birch tree.

Chaga is a black swan of the mushroom kingdom, looking more like pieces of wood bark or gingerbread than a typical mushroom. The biography of chaga throughout human history has accumulated a rather astonishing and wide spectrum of functional properties. It's no wonder that it has earned the title "Queen of Medicinal Mushrooms" from professional mycologists, herbalists, and mushroom enthusiasts around the world.

ANCESTORS' HISTORY AND USE OF CHAG

Revered in Russian herbalism and Siberian folk medicine, Chaga has played a significant role in holistically optimizing the vitality and resilience of our ancestors in ancient northern Eurasia for centuries. It is said that it was first used by the Khanty people of the Altai region of Siberia.

A collection of writings transcribed from the oral tradition of Shennong, a mythical sage and ruler of ancient China, called "The Shennong Ben Cao Jing," which appeared around 200 AD, described the many reasons for consuming chaga and its uses, calling it "a precious gift of nature."

Asian herbalists believe that Siberian chaga, as an adaptogen, preserves youth, promotes vitality and resilience. It is categorized as a Qi tonic, like Reishi mushroom. It is also considered an excellent kidney tonic. Russian and Scandinavian scientists have conducted the largest scientific research on this powerful herb in the last few decades. Siberian chaga is a very strong antioxidant according to its ORAC value. Studies suggest that it is a much more effective free radical scavenger than almost all other popular dietary antioxidants, including blueberries and acai. The so-called antioxidant capacity ORAC (oxygen radical absorbent capacity) is actually measured for most potent foods and comparisons and rankings are made. The higher the value, the stronger the effect related to oxidative stress that food has. Chaga has more than 10 times the ORAC than, for example, the aforementioned blueberries, which are known for their high antioxidant content. Chaga is also traditionally used as a Shen tonic and in relation to immunity.

Siberian Chaga contains a number of important active ingredients including polysaccharides, beta-glucans, phenolic compounds, essential phospholipids, ergosterols, bioactive phytosterols, vitamins, organically bound minerals, betulinic acid, betulin, bioactive flavonoids, pteridine, obliquole, lanostane triterpenoids, and melanin. Chaga produces large amounts of high molecular weight phenolic pigments that have been categorized as melanins. This entire melanin "complex" is released onto the surface of Chaga. Melanin is a powerful antioxidant pigment that is present and needed throughout the human body and has a wide range of properties. The antioxidant activity of hot water extract of Chaga was closely compared by Japanese scientists with other powerful tonic mushrooms (Agaricus blazei Mycelia, Ganoderma lucidum and Phellinus linteus) and it was shown that Chaga exhibits the strongest antioxidant activity among the mushrooms studied, both in terms of superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity.

Research on Siberian chaga focuses primarily on its immunomodulatory activity. Upon ingestion, a number of secondary metabolites are produced, many of which are highly active in relation to the microbiome and the associated immune response. Chaga is a rich source of 1-3 ?-glucans, polysaccharides that are essential nutrients for the human immune system.

CONSCIOUS PROCUREMENT AND TRADITIONAL EXTRACTION

Primal Alchemy Wild Chaga is Di Tao sourced and comes from the pristine forests surrounding the magical Altai Mountains in Siberia. It is sustainably and wild harvested from 10+ year old mature birch trees. After the mushrooms are harvested, the fruiting bodies undergo an expertly performed hot water extraction in accordance with the traditional wisdom of Siberian folk medicine.

This extraction process allows us to fully extract water-soluble compounds while preserving all naturally occurring active ingredients in their harmonious proportions as nature intended, maximizing their synergistic effects and unlocking Chaga's full potential. The resulting concentrated solution is then lyophilized into a crystalline powder, creating a potent 12:1 extract with 52% chromogenic complex rich in melanin and beta glucans.

GETTING THE BEST CHAG ON THE PLANET

The best chaga in the world is said to be found in Siberia, Lapland, the Himalayas, and Canada. However, Chaga is a highly valued tonic mushroom long used in traditional Siberian, Korean, Chinese, Northern European and Scandinavian herbalism, and grows wild in old growth forests in cooler regions throughout northern Asia, northern Europe and North America.

The very best Chaga is believed to come from the subarctic birch forests of Siberia. Premium wild Siberian chaga is collected from remote forests near the Arctic region. In Russia, the black, shapeless fungus only gains the status of "Chaga" after ten or fifteen years of parasitizing on birch trunks. At 20 years old, Chaga is considered fully mature. The vast majority of chaga used to make common dietary supplements and mushroom products is "chaga" that has not even reached maturity and is therefore not even real "chaga" by Siberian standards. For in For all tonic herbs, the source of their original raw material should be selected based on both tradition and modern chemical analysis to ensure the best product and ideally in full accordance with Di Tao. Chaga grows in many places (mentioned above), but chemical analysis has definitively proven that true and mature wild Siberian chaga is the most potent form of chaga. Wild Siberian chaga has special properties that must be professionally extracted. It contains hundreds of active ingredients that need to be protected.

FRESHWATER NANO PEARL POWDER ? 1000 mg

Pearls are not usually the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of effective "tonic herbs" because the Western mind has been conditioned to see pearls only for use in jewelry and as aesthetic decoration, but in fact, pearls are known as a "Shen and Beauty" tonic according to TCM. The history of use dates back thousands of years and kilometers across the Earth.

Pearls are known to contain a wide range of nutrients such as essential amino acids, magnesium, silicon, zinc, and are a rare source of highly bioavailable calcium. Pearls have been used by our ancient ancestors for a variety of reasons throughout the ages - from the Mayans and Vedic cultures who used pearls to make love potions, to the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and numerous Chinese empresses such as Ci Xi and Wu Zeitan who used them in their quest for eternal youth and beauty.

It has been shown that pearls contain unique molecular compounds, such as conchiolin, which gives pearls their shine, and nacre, which have been shown to have many properties that we cannot list here. These ingredients are, among other things, related to cellular hydration, which is suitable for individuals focused on skin, hair, nails, and eyes. In addition to their historical association with the care of external beauty and outer aura/radiance, pearls are a leading Shen tonic in TCM and are believed to be one of the supreme "herbs" for cultivating a deeper sense of self-awareness. It has been shown that substances contained in pearls help in the synthesis of more GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an important neurotransmitter.

The pearl used in our Zen Warrior formula comes from Di Tao sourcing and is sustainably harvested from Zhuji, the "Pearl City" in Zhejiang Province, China - a famous lake for pearl breeding. Pearls are collected from 100% pure freshwater, rigorously tested for contaminants, and then undergo an advanced micronization process, a grinding process called "levigation" to create a perfect nano-sized powder that is extremely bioavailable to the body for maximum absorption.

Pearl powder in this nano quality contains, among other things, extremely biologically available calcium, conchiolin, but also zinc. The Nano, A-grade (so-called 150,000 Mesh) in GAIA SHIELD by Primal Alchemy is the highest quality pearl powder available on the market. Pearl products can be found outside the EU at cheaper prices, so you are not getting lower quality pearls, but you are getting less bioavailable pearls (due to processing and simply because of the size of its particles) and although you will still benefit from it, you will never experience the true power of this gift of nature. Technological advances in the pearl processing process have made it possible for it to now be available in nano-sized, ultra-fine powder with the best usability, and that's exactly what you'll find in GAIA SHIELD, without compromise.

DUAL LION'S MANE EXTRACT (30% POLYSACCHARIDES) ? 500 mg

Lion's Mane is a powerful nootropic functional mushroom originating from Asia, where it has been used for centuries by Zen masters to support brain and nervous system performance and for its "Shen"-growing properties according to TCM, such as developing a greater depth of self-awareness. Although lion's mane is a popular culinary delicacy in the Orient, its therapeutic reputation is rapidly growing, mainly due to research showing the dramatic neurotrophic properties it possesses (through, among others, hericenones and erinacins) in relation to the production of nerve growth factors in the brain. (https://restorativemedicine.org/library/monographs/lions-mane ) + .pdf

ANCESTORS' HISTORY OF LION'S MANE USE

The name "Yamabushitake" was given to it from its association with the Yamabushi monks - a solitary Buddhist community who wander the mystical mountains of Japan in spiritual service to nature and God. Lion's Mane and its various preparations have been a sacred vital tonic for Shaolin and Zen masters throughout the ages - they believed it helped cultivate their Qi energy and deepen their meditative states. In addition to its affinity with mountain monks, Lion’s Mane was originally reserved only for Asian royalty before becoming a popular ingredient in the recipes of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners (for, among other things, its immunomodulatory relationship with the digestive system and catalysis of neurogenesis). Lion's Mane continues to exhibit previously unknown adaptogenic properties, and the more attention and research it receives, the more compelling the practical reasons are, which only confirms much of the previous anecdotal evidence.

CONSCIOUS PROCUREMENT, TRADITIONAL PREPARATION AND EXTRACTION

The Lion's Mane used in Gaia Shield comes from Di Tao and is organically grown and semi-wild, harvested from Hailin City in Heilongjiang, the northernmost province of China, which has the perfect environment for growing some of the best functional mushrooms in the world (this area is considered, among other things, to be the authentic and original source/spiritual homeland of Di-tao Lion's Mane). Once harvested, the Lion's Mane fruiting bodies undergo an expertly executed dual extraction process in accordance with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine to fully extract both water and alcohol soluble compounds, which are then dried into a potent powdered extract with particularly high potency and concentration, yet retaining all of the naturally occurring active ingredients in their harmonious proportions as nature intended - maximizing their synergistic effects and unlocking the full potential of Lion's Mane. The concentrated 10:1 solution is dried into a strong powdered extract without mycelium, starches, dextrins or any fillers or additives. The extract is very rich in numerous adaptogenic and nootropic compounds, such as polysaccharides, beta glucans, hericenones and erinacins.

PURIFIED HIMALAYAN SHILAJIT EXTRACT (50% FULVIC ACID) ? 500 mg:

Shilajit is a rare, mineral-rich, dark natural resinous substance, wildly harvested directly from the Himalayan mountain. Also known as the "mountain blood of planet earth", literally translated as "born of the rock" and referred to in Ayurvedic tradition as the "destroyer of weakness", shilajit is rich in a wide range of minerals, trace elements, sterols and especially naturally occurring fulvic acid, which facilitates the absorption of minerals and nutrients at the cellular level. Zen Warrior uses premium dried Himalayan shilajit extract, standardized to at least 50% fulvic acid content to maximize the effect of the other ingredients in this formula in particular.

Shilajit is perhaps the most effective rejuvenator known to mankind, containing 85+ minerals in ionic form, vitamins, a number of effective phytonutrients and most importantly, it is rich in fulvic acid. The organic compound, fulvic acid, interacts with our cellular biology and improves the utilization of vital electrolytes and antioxidants, among many other nutrients. Shilajit drastically increases the bioavailability and effectiveness of anything it is combined with, which is why it is used in all Primal Alchemy formulas. In addition to its intrinsic nutritional value, Shilajit has unique energetic properties. Measuring subtle energetic changes shows it has a vibrational field and content synergy that is more powerful than any other single vitamin, mineral, food, or herb. This could be the main reason why yogis have used it as a vital herbal ally in their spiritual practices for many millennia.
