Reishi is often hailed as the "Mushroom of Immortality" for its powerful wellness-supporting properties. Taking a Reishi supplement may help promote relaxation, support restful sleep, and reduce stress. It’s also known for its immune-supporting compounds, helping to balance and strengthen the body’s natural defences. Many people take Reishi daily to support overall wellbeing and resilience, both physically and mentally.

Reishi 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!

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.

In addition to its brain-boosting benefits, Reishi may support digestive health by helping to protect the gut lining and reduce inflammation, contributing to overall wellness.

Reishi mushroom powder has a naturally bitter, earthy taste with woody and slightly savoury notes. Many people enjoy mixing it into teas, smoothies, or other blends like cacao to balance its bitterness while still reaping its powerful benefits.
