Hongos para la hidratación de la piel

Tremella es el hongo que se toma para la piel. Consumido en China durante más de mil años para obtener un cutis claro, es rico en polisacáridos que retienen muchas veces su propio peso en agua, la propiedad que le valió esa reputación. Reishi es el segundo, el hongo nocturno, porque el sueño se refleja en el rostro. Ambos son extractos de agua caliente 10:1 de cuerpos fructíferos, probados en cada lote, disponibles en polvo o cápsulas.

Tremella: the one taken for skin

Tremella fuciformis

Start here. Tremella is the mushroom people have historically taken for how they look rather than how they feel, and it is the easiest extract we sell to actually stick with.

Tremella is the translucent, frilly snow fungus, more like a sea creature than a mushroom. It is a dessert ingredient across much of East Asia, simmered with rock sugar and goji berries into a sweet soup, and it has been eaten that way for centuries.

It is close to tasteless with a faint sweetness, so it disappears into coffee, tea, yoghurt or a smoothie without a trace. It also thickens a drink very slightly, which is the polysaccharides doing exactly what they are taken for.

Ours is a 10:1 hot water extract from fruiting bodies, tested to 10% beta-glucans. That figure is low against the rest of our range because Tremella is not a high beta-glucan species and the fraction it is taken for is a different one.

Lo que dice la investigación

Tremella was the beauty mushroom of the Chinese imperial court, famously favoured by Yang Guifei of the Tang dynasty, and eaten for the skin for over a thousand years. Its polysaccharides hold many times their weight in water, which is exactly why.

The early laboratory work on skin cells and on that water-binding capacity is encouraging, and it is an area we follow closely. Human trials would be a welcome addition to a record that already runs a thousand years deep.

Reishi: because sleep shows on your face

Ganoderma lucidum

Second, and the reason is simple: sleep and stress show on your face. Reishi is the evening extract with the deepest trial literature we sell, and it is the other half of a good routine.

Reishi is the hard, lacquered bracket fungus of the Chinese materia medica, genuinely bitter, which is why most people take it in capsules.

Ours is a 10:1 hot water extract from fruiting bodies, tested to 30% beta-glucans. Take it in the evening, an hour or two before bed.

Reishi earns its place here through sleep and stress, which is a real route and a well-travelled one. Take it an hour or two before bed, alongside Tremella at any time of day.

Lo que dice la investigación

A six-month double-blind crossover trial in 42 adults with mildly raised liver enzymes found that total antioxidant capacity, thiols and glutathione rose while markers of oxidative damage fell (Chiu 2017). That is a general antioxidant result in healthy people, not a skin result.

A 2025 review pooled 17 clinical trials across 971 participants and found significant improvements in BMI, creatinine, glutathione peroxidase and resting heart rate. Neither paper measured skin, and we are labelling them rather than letting the association do the work.

¿Cuánto falta para que funcione?

  1. Week 1 Tremella into any drink, any time. Reishi in the evening if you are taking both.
  2. Weeks 2 to 4 Nothing visible yet. Skin does not turn over that fast.
  3. Weeks 4 to 12 The honest window, based on how skin renews rather than on a trial, because there is not one.
  4. Ongoing Daily, the way Tremella has traditionally been eaten rather than as a course.

What customers report. Individual experience varies; none of this is a clinical claim.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is there real evidence that Tremella helps skin?

The early laboratory work on Tremella polysaccharides and their water-binding capacity is encouraging, and human trials would be a welcome addition. What it already has is over a thousand years of documented use for the skin, in a culture that recorded its food and medicine carefully.

Is Tremella the same as hyaluronic acid?

They work on the same principle: both bind and hold a great deal of water. Tremella is the one people have been eating for a millennium, which is why it is so often called the plant-based answer to hyaluronic acid.

Why does it thicken my drink?

Because the polysaccharides are doing what they are taken for. Tremella holds water, which is why the traditional dish is a soup that sets as it cools. If you would rather avoid it, take the capsules.

What does Tremella taste like?

Almost nothing, with a faint sweetness. It is the most neutral extract we sell and goes into anything.

Why is Reishi on a skin page?

Because sleep and stress show on your face, and Reishi is the extract we sell for the evening. That is an indirect argument and we have written it as one rather than implying Reishi acts on skin, which it has not been shown to do.

How long before I would see anything?

Skin renews over weeks, so four to twelve weeks of daily use is the window worth judging it on. That is how it has always been eaten: daily, as a habit, not as a course.
