The Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is a unique mushroom used in China and Japan for thousands of years. It is also known as the Lingzhi mushroom and is named after its glossy appearance that resembles a varnished surface. In Latin, the word lucidus means “shiny” or “brilliant”. This mushroom is widely distributed in Asia and can be found growing on decaying hardwood trees such as oak, maple, and elm.

FAQ
When is the best time to supplement with Reishi?
Reishi can be taken throughout the day. You can use it in the morning before your meditation, but we also recommend a nice Reishi tea at night to wind down after a day of hard work.
When can I expect to experience the effects?
The effects of adaptogenic and functional mushrooms are not immediate for the majority of people. Instead, they gradually intensify over time in most cases.
People who are more sensitive may feel the effects within a few days of using it, while typically, the effects become noticeable within a few weeks. In certain situations, it may take up to 1.5 months to experience the complete benefits.
However, when it comes to Lion’s Mane, it is often felt already after a few days.
How is our product sourced?
Our extract is made of organic, wild Reishi mushrooms grown in Northern China.
How long can I supplement with Reishi?
Reishi can be taken throughout the year.
Is it possible to mix different extracts?
Yes, you can mix and match different functional mushroom extracts as desired.
Many people choose to mix Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps for example because they aim to improve their focus and energy, and these two often go hand in hand.
We also see a lot of people mixing Chaga and Reishi, with the intention to support their immune system and to achieve a calm state of mind.
Of course, you may create your own preferred mix.
Does Reishi get you high?
Reishi does not get you high.
Are you using the mycelium or the fruiting bodies of the Reishi mushroom?
Our Reishi extract is made of fruiting bodies. A small amount of mycelium may still be present in the extract, but this is only a result of harvesting the fruiting bodies. Our extracts are not fruiting bodies plus mycelium extracts.
Many brands on the market do contain both fruiting bodies and mycelium, but this is mostly done for economic purposes, as it makes the production of functional mushroom extracts way cheaper. It is often done to save money and results in less potent extracts.
What if I am not satisfied with the product or the results?
We offer a 30-day unconditional, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
