Reishi Mushroom Powder (60g Pouch)

Reishi is the Queen of Mushrooms. It’s known for its calming qualities. Reishi is great to relax, wind-down and centre yourself. It helps promote deep sleep whilst also helping to support immune health and enhancing your body’s natural defence. 

Reishi has a very bitter taste, and works well mixed into hot chocolate or a cacao.

Reishi, “the queen of mushrooms,” is one of nature’s most soothing wonders, famous for promoting calmness and supporting better sleep. (1) The high number of triterpenoids found within this mushroom powder not only accounts for its bitter taste, but they are functional compounds that may benefit our parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and better-quality sleep, so we say the more bitter, the better! (2)

Reishi is rich in polysaccharides and beta-glucans, which are complex carbohydrates known for their immune-enhancing properties. The number of triterpenoids within Reishi may also support immune health. (2)(3)

Reishi was highly esteemed in ancient Chinese culture, where it earned various titles, including the "Mushroom of Immortality" and the "Elixir of Life." It was believed to promote longevity, improve vitality, and enhance spiritual well-being—the first records of mushroom cultivation date from thousands of years ago in East Asia.  Reishi is also known as Shen tonic. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Shen translates to our spirit and “higher consciousness," representing the divinity within all.
