Organic Reishi
Reishi mushroom has an incredible ability to enhance immunity and reduce stress, which helps with deep restful sleep. The beta-glucans, polysaccharides and triterpenes within Reishi are known for their ability to up-regulate the bodies immune response through boosting our cells ability to eradicate pathogens and increasing apoptosis. Apoptosis is the natural process of our body clearing out damaged cells such as those infected with a virus. Research is also indicating that these polysaccharides and triterpenes can calm the central nervous system and lower stress levels in the body. The increased relaxation that has been observed as a result of Reishi consumption has resulted in increases in deep sleep and enhanced recovery.

What makes our Rieshi different? Our Reishi is certified organic, made from 100% fruiting bodies and is grown wild-crafted on logs with natural sun light, fresh air and spring water. We then use a dual-extraction and vacuum drying process to turn the mushrooms into an 8:1 concentrated extract powder.
On completion of this process, we have our finished product lab analysed to demonstrate how our method maintains a really high level of the beneficial beta-glucans present in these mushrooms. Our latest batch contains 31.4%.
Our Reishi is packaged in Miron Glass jars to provide complete protection from UV rays which can degrade the quality of the product.
This product DOES NOT contain mycelium, starch, pesticides, toxins or fillers of any kind. It's also wild-crafted and therefore not lab-grown with the use of oats.

Storage Instructions
All of our mushroom extracts are very hygroscopic (they absorb moisture out of the air very easily). Therefore, to ensure they remain as a powder and do not clump, store them in a non humid environment and re-apply the lid shortly after using. As with all our products, our goal is to provide the purist form possible and therefore chose not to mix fibres or maltodextrin with the mushrooms that are often used to prevent the powder clumping.
FAQs Questions
Do you lab test your finished products?
Of course - every batch is tested for heavy metals and beta-glucan percentage. Beta-glucans are the compounds within Lion's Mane, which give it it's immune enhancing properties.
How long will my tub last?
This all depends on dosage. However, if you take 1-2 grams per day, the tub will last 20-40 days.

Will taking your supplements break a fast?
If you are doing a water fast with zero calories, then they will break the fast, as a serving contains a very small amount of calories. However, if your fasting goals are autophagy or healing your gut microbiome, you can take the supplements without negatively impacting those goals.
