Think of the Knowledge Bank as an Encyclopedia of Our Products
We created the Knowledge Bank at RAW Forest Foods to expand the depth of information available about the products we carry, the wide-range of ingredients contained within them, and their uses and benefits.
Our objective with the Knowledge Bank (in conjunction with our blog and product pages) is to provide a rich source of definitive and objective information regarding about our products alongside relevant topics of interest to our family of customers.
In addition to providing the highest quality supplements available, we pride ourselves on offering quality information.
Feel free to share any and all of this information.

Furthering A Deeper Understanding Of Reishi
There are some herbs and fungi that capture the imagination and the heart, and you keep coming back to them.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is—without a doubt—one of these.
As such, we are pleased to offer an expanded article all about Reishi, including some classical information, important modern day research, and an introduction to the medicinal compounds and the different types of extracts available. We also talk about what makes Duanwood Reishi so special.
Please read our article Furthering a Deeper Understanding of Reishi.
RAW Duanwood Reishi Spores And Extract
At RAW Forest Foods, we choose to utilize the pollen of the plant whenever possible. That is because pollens contain the richest, most potent amounts of the phytonutrients present in the plant. This is true for mushrooms and other fungi as well.
We seized the opportunity to offer our customers with RAW Duanwood Reishi Spores.
They are cracked-cell wall, just like all our pollens, and contain of 70 times the concentration of the active constituents found in the whole Reishi Mushroom. Long considered the "Royal Longevity" tonic in China, Reishi Spores are used today to treat many diseases, including cancer.

Wild-Harvested Siberian Chaga
Chaga is a powerful immune restorative and longevity tonic used traditionally in the near-Artic regions of Siberia. Today, Chaga has undergone extensive testing and many clinical trials showing its efficacy in promoting immune function and for its anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties.
Chaga is indigestible by the human body and must be extracted in water and alcohol. Our Chaga is a standardized water/alcohol extract and is based off of the same Chaga extracts used in the clinical trials.

Why Safe Estrogen Detoxification Is Important
In this article we address the growing concern over low levels of testosterone in the body, and introduce two new concepts into the conversation: estrogen toxicity and estrogen detoxification. The majority of people today suffer from both high levels of estrogen (estrogen toxicity) and low levels of testosterone.
Estrogen is difficult to remove from the body, and even more difficult to do it safely. In our Importance of Safe Estrogen Detoxification entry at the Knowledge Bank, we introduce you to the protocol to do this.
Understanding How Estrogen Detoxification Works
To understand our Peak Performance Estrogen Detox, and to better understand estrogen detoxification, please read our article Understanding Estrogen Detoxification at the Knowledge Bank.

Manufacturing Professional Grade Tinctures
What is the difference between a 1:5 and a 2:1 tincture?

A ratio is the exact recipe for making the tincture.
