Le reishi arrive en tête en tant que champignon le plus étudié de notre gamme, avec 17 essais cliniques regroupés dans une étude de 2025. Le maïtaké arrive en deuxième position, avec des essais randomisés menés sur des adultes en bonne santé. Le chaga occupe la troisième place : des recherches en laboratoire associent ses propriétés antioxydantes et anti-inflammatoires à des composés que le champignon puise dans le bouleau, et il bénéficie de siècles d'utilisation quotidienne. Tous trois sont des extraits à l'eau chaude 10:1, titrés à 30 %, 30 % et 10 % de bêta-glucanes.

Second, and the one to pick if you cook. Maitake is a genuinely good culinary mushroom as well as an extract.
Third, and honestly ranked. Chaga has the most enthusiastic marketing in this category and the least human evidence behind it.

What customers report. Individual experience varies; none of this is a clinical claim.
The widest survey of the Reishi literature: 17 clinical trials covering 971 participants, at doses from 200 to 11,200 mg a day. Pooled analysis found significant improvements in BMI, serum creatinine, glutathione peroxidase and resting heart rate. Many other markers did not move, and the reviewers rate the certainty of the underlying trials as low and call for better-designed studies, which is the usual state of a field this active and this young.
Food Science & Nutrition · 2025Forty-seven healthy adults aged 60 and over ate bread containing 50 g of maitake daily for eighteen weeks. One strain produced a significant improvement on the Japanese Montreal Cognitive Assessment against placebo, and natural killer cell activity rose in the same group and tracked the cognitive score. Two strains were tested and one moved the needle, which tells researchers exactly where to look next.
Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology · 2026A review pulling together the modern research on Chaga: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity, traced to the melanin, polysaccharides and triterpenes the conk accumulates from the birch it grows on. A consistent laboratory picture, and human trials are the natural next step.
