What Are the Twelve Rivers?

The Twelve Rivers are the twelve energy (Qi) meridians of the body. The practice of acupuncture (and other health modalities) is to vibrantly restore health and enhance wellness by balancing the twelve energy meridians—the Twelve Rivers—of the body.

The individual benefits of the 8 mushrooms of Twelve Rivers are each well-known and can be used on their own.

As a true formula (and not just a blend of ingredients), Twelve Rivers synergizes and potentiates the individual ingredients and their individual properties to offer additional—and amplified—benefits not available elsewhere.*

Twelve Rivers supports all twelve energy (Qi) meridians of the body.

We developed Twelve Rivers to vibrantly restore health and enhance wellness through harnessing the benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms—in a single, easy-to-use, and highly effective broad-spectrum mushroom complex.*

By harnessing the benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms—in a single, easy-to-use, and highly effective broad-spectrum mushroom complex, Twelve Rivers provide fast, yet long-lasting, results though a carefully and professionally crafted formula.*

Choosing Whole, Fruiting Body Mushrooms Over Mycelium Based Products

Twelve Rivers is Made with Organic and Wild-Harvested Fruiting Body Mushrooms

In general, mushrooms are composed of two main parts: The mycelium and the fruiting body.

The mycelium is an underground network composed of microscopic threads. The fruiting body is what can be seen above ground. As the mycelium begins to die off, it sends all its resources aboveground, into the fruiting body, with the goal of reproduction.  

The fruiting body contains the highest levels of beneficial compounds when compared to the mycelium—it is, quite literally, the fruit of the organism.

For this reason, we only use fruiting body mushrooms (no mycelium by-products) in all of our products. Twelve Rivers contains fruiting body extracts of:

• Chaga (Inonotus obliquus);
• Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris);
• Fu Shen (Poria cocos);
• Maitake (Grifola frondosa; AKA Hen-of-the-Woods);
• Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum);
• Royal Sun Agaricus (Agaricus blazei Murill);
• Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor);
• Willow Bracket (Phellinus igniarius).

The Trifecta of Beta-Glucans, Polysaccharides, and Terpenes

And why we go out of our way to capture them all

Medicinal Mushrooms contain the following three classes of major compounds which are responsible for their beneficial properties:

• Beta-Glucans;
• Polysaccharides;
• Terpenes.

Polysaccharides are only one of the three classes of compounds. Lesser known, but of equal (if not greater) importance, are the Beta-Glucans and Terpenes.

While most companies focus only on the Polysaccharides, our focus is on all the beneficial compounds present in Medicinal Mushrooms.

We go out of our way to capture not just the polysaccharides, but the entire trifecta of Beta-Glucans, Polysaccharides, and Terpenes.

This extract powder is produced using both hot water and alcohol extraction. This combination allows the extraction of Beta-Glucans, Polysaccharides, and Terpenes, where hot water only or alcohol only extractions miss entire classes of these compounds.

It is only through the two stages of hot water and alcohol are the Beta-Glucans, Polysaccharides, and Terpenes able to be extracted into the tincture.

Key Benefits of the Twelve Rivers Formula

Deep Immune System Support

Modulating and Potentiating the Immune System*

The immune system is our first line of defense against illness and disease, and to maintain health it is essential to maintain strong immunity.

Twelve Rivers MycoMedic is an immune system potentiator that modulates the immune system, supporting both weak and overactive immune function, providing deep immune system support—acting in many cases as an immune system modulator.*

In supporting the immune system, Twelve Rivers is contains:

• Chaga (Inonotus obliquus);
• Maitake (Grifola frondosa; Hen-of-the-Woods);
• Royal Sun Agaricus (Agaricus blazei Murill; Royal Sun Blazei)
• Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor);
• Willow Bracket (Phellinus igniarius; Mesima).

Additionally, research indicates these mushrooms may be useful in the prevention of cancer and tumors and as adjunct therapy alongside allopathic cancer treatments (such as chemotherapy)—the research is promising, but let it be extremely clear that this is in no way suggesting that mushrooms or herbs can be use as a treatment or as a preventative for cancer.*

A Daily Adaptogenic Tonic

For Supporting Health, Wellness, longevity, and Vitality*

There is no true distinction between the Adaptogenic and Tonic properties of Twelve Rivers and the immune system support it may provide, and the majority of the ingredients in the formula serve both intentions.

We separate the two here in highlighting the two main uses of Twelve Rivers.

Along with immune system support, Adaptogens and Tonic support the endocrine system.* The endocrine system includes the glands in our bodies that produce hormones, regulate many functions such as metabolism, growth, sexual development, sexual function, sleep patterns, and mental health—including moods and emotions.

In specifically supporting endocrine system health and healthy hormone production, Twelve Rivers contains:

• Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris);
• Fu Shen (Poria cocos);
• Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum);
• Willow Bracket (Phellinus igniarius; Mesima).*

These are well known adaptogens that have been used for millennia in Classical Chinese Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, by the indigenous North Americans, and other traditional practices of health care.

In particular, Cordyceps and Reishi are highly regarded for use as tonics in fortifying and strengthening the body, relieving fatigue, reducing stress, and to enhance the immune system and provide protection against diseases.*

As a Broad, Comprehensive Formula, Twelve Rivers May Support:

• A peaceful and relaxed mental state;
• Deeper, more restful sleep;
• Immune system and improved resistance to disease;
• Assisting with energy and vitality;
• Stress management;
• Mental and spiritual well-being.*

Storage

Store at room temperature (cool and dry). Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use if safety seal is damaged or missing.

Using Adaptogenic and Tonic Herbs

Medicinal Mushrooms are Adaptogenic and Tonic, and as such, time and consistency are vital in receiving the full benefits that they have to offer.

Adaptogens and Tonics are herbs (including mushrooms) that work with the body in producing positive and beneficial changes and effects. The root word in “adaptogen” is adapt.

This type of change—this type of adaptation—requires time and consistency (dedication) and leads to the most profound and beneficial results.

Before evaluating the effectiveness of any Adaptogenic or Tonic herb, we advocate a trial of between four and six weeks of daily use.

Very similar to exercise, while a single workout is beneficial and will most likely make you feel better, no real change will be seen without dedication of time and consistency.

RAW Forest Foods offers a full 60 days refund policy on all our products. This extended refund policy allows ample time for you to judge the true effectiveness of the products you have purchased.

As the saying goes, "Give yourself enough time to be successful". And the same applies to Adaptogens and Tonics: Give Twelve Rivers enough time to be successful, too.

Cycling Herbs

Herb cycling schedules can be beneficial when healing.

If you prefer to rotate your Adaptogenic, Pro-Androgenic, and Tonic herbs, we suggest a cycling schedule of five days on and two days off, or four weeks on and one week off.*
