Gaia Shield Prana Charged Immunity & Spirit Elixir

GAIA SHIELD'S SACRED PROTECTION FORMULA

DUANWOOD REISHI 20:1 EXTRACT (10% POLYSACCHARIDE 5% TRITERPENE) ∞ 1000mg

Reishi is the quintessential gold standard tonic adaptogen & medicinal mushroom. A premier Qi & Shen tonic with ability to strengthen our Jing energy, Reishi is one of the rare elite tier herbs that nourishes all "Three Treasures" within traditional Taoist medical science. Famed for its powerful adaptogenic capabilities, with a wide spectrum of polysaccharides and species exclusive triterpenes, this mushroom has created a symbiotic relationship with the human immune system over 1000s of years of use.

Known throughout its homeland of Ancient Asia as "the mushroom of immortality" and highly regarded by Taoist Masters, Reishi was kept exclusively within royalty, being prepared and served only to the Emperor and his noblemen. Reishi's first recorded appearance was in a collection of transcribed writings from the oral tradition of Shennong, the mythical God-King of Ancient Chinese medicine & agriculture called 'The Shennong Ben Tao Jing' which surfaced around 200 CE, stating "long term consumption of Reishi mushroom will lighten the body and prevent ageing, extend ones life and make them immortal".

Our superior grade Reishi is Di Tao sourced and organically grown on big Duanwood logs buried in natural wild forest soil, absorbing the sacred energy of the mystical Wuyi Mountains in the northern Fujian Province of China, a location intertwined with the magic of legendary Taoist sage Peng Zu. The remote pristine forestry is untouched from industrialised China, with its weak acidic soil creating the perfect growing conditions for the highest grade Reishi in the world. It is then expertly dual extracted and crafted by the current generation of a 300 year old reishi cultivating family dynasty and in alignment with the wisdom of traditional Chinese herbalism. The extract is then freeze dried to capture and secure the valuable polysaccharides, beta glucans & triterpenes that Reishi’s numerous adaptogenic properties are revered for.

WILD SIBERIAN CHAGA EXTRACT (52% CHROMOGENIC COMPLEX) ∞ 1000mg

Chaga mushroom, the black swan of the mycelium kingdom looking more like chunks of wood bark than a typical fungi. Revered in Russian herbalism & Siberian folk medicine, Chaga has played a significant role in holistically optimising the health of our ancestors in Ancient Northern Eurasia for aeons, believed to first have been used by the Khanty people of the Altai region in Siberia. A collection of writings transcribed from the oral tradition of Shennong, the mythical sage ruler of Ancient China, called 'The Shennong Ben Cao Jing' which surfaced around 200 CE explaining the many benefits of Chaga consumption, calling it a "precious gift from nature".

Our Chaga used in Gaia Shield is Di Tao sourced from the pristine forestry surrounding the magical Altai Mountains in Siberia, being sustainably wild harvested from 10 year old + mature bitch trees. Once the mushrooms have been collected, the fruiting bodies then undergo an expertly executed hot water extraction in alignment with the traditional wisdom of Siberian folk medicine, creating a potent extract with a 52% chromogenic complex being rich in melanin and beta glucans.

FRESHWATER NANO PEARL POWDER ∞ 1000mg

Pearls might not be the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of a powerful tonic herb, as the Western mind has been conditioned to only see pearls utilised for jewellery and aesthetic decoration, but in reality pearl is a famed Shen & beauty tonic who's history of use spans thousands of years and miles on the earth.

Pearls have been used by our ancient ancestors for various reasons throughout time, from the Mayans and Vedic cultures who used pearls to create love potions, to Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and numerous Chinese Empresses such Ci Xi & Wu Zeitan using it in their quest for eternal youth, pearl has been revered universally for its anti ageing and rejuvenating potential.

The pearl used in our Gaia Shield formula is Di Tao sourced and sustainably harvested from Zhuji, the "Pearl City" in Zhejiang Province China, a famous pearl breeding lake. 100% pure fresh water Pearl is collected, strictly quality tested for contaminants and then undergoes an advanced grinding process called 'levigation' in order to create a nano sized powder that is extremely bioavailable for the body to absorb.

LION'S MANE DUAL EXTRACT (30% POLYSACCHARIDE) ∞ 500mg

Lion's Mane is a powerful nootropic mushroom originating from Asia where it has been used for centuries by zen masters for its ability to increase performance capabilities of the brain and nervous system whilst demonstrating Shen nurturing qualities such as developing greater depths of self awareness. Although a popular culinary delicacy in the Orient, Lion's Mane therapeutic reputation is rapidly growing due research showing the dramatic neurotrophic effects it has on nerve growth factor generation within the brain.

The Lion's Mane used in Gaia Shield is Di Tao sourced, organically grown and semi wild harvested from Hailin City in Heilongjiang, China's northernmost province, which holds the perfect environment for some of the world's best medicinal mushrooms to grow. Once collected, the fruiting bodies of the Lion's Mane undergo an expertly executed dual extraction process in alignment with the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine in order to fully extract both the water and alcohol soluble compounds, which is then dried into a potent powdered extract.

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

Shilajit was first officially documented in the ancient Ayurvedic text "The Charaka Samhita" written in 200 BC, where it was called the destroyer of weakness & conqueror of mountains. Shilajit was a closely guarded secret of the yogis of the Himalayas for many centuries, who shared their knowledge of the substance with Persian Emperors Darius & Xerxes, who took it themselves and gave it to their elite imperial guards, the immortals.

The shilajit used within Gaia Shield is Di Tao sourced from the same Himalayan mountains that have empowered Vedic sages & yogis on their quest for immortality throughout time. The shilajit is wild harvested from deep within the Western Himalayas, where it is then purified & extracted using traditional Ayurvedic techniques and standardised to 50% fulvic acid.
