Where it all started

Yihuai Gao, our founder, began his journey in fungi research at Landcare Research, a Crown Research Institute. There, he discovered and proved the powerful health benefits of polysaccharides extracted from Reishi mushrooms, including immune support and regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for Alpha’s commitment to harnessing nature’s power for human wellness.
