Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) compounds—especially its polysaccharides and triterpenes—strengthen the gut-brain and gut-liver axes by boosting beneficial bacteria, reinforcing the intestinal barrier, and reducing inflammation through NF-κB and MAPK pathways. These actions stabilize immune function, protect the liver, and support mood regulation.
