There is some speculation that just consuming caps of dried reishi would be indigestible, is this the case?
The other option seems far too impractical . It involves dual extract, one of alcohol which is then filtered and then the second extract with water which is combined with alcohol to form a tincture. This is because the triterpenes (anti-inflammatory) are nonpolar and dissolve in vodka while the polysaccharides (cancer fighting) are polar and dissolve in water.
