2 capsules in the evening, 1–2 hours before bed, with food, washed down with water. A 30-day course.
A classic adaptogen of traditional Chinese medicine, taken for relaxation and sleep
Ganoderic acids — the reason people take Reishi in the first place
It does not suppress consciousness, it lowers excess arousal, so falling asleep becomes natural
Adaptogens help the body move through load more evenly and return to baseline faster
The same Reishi, but the taste stays inside the capsule
2 capsules a day × 30 days — exactly one month
No. It does not switch consciousness off; it lowers excess arousal in the nervous system, which makes falling asleep easier.
In the evening, 1–2 hours before bed.
No, Reishi does not cause daytime sluggishness.
People usually mention calmer sleep after 2–3 weeks of use.
The effect is the same. Capsules are chosen by people who dislike Reishi's bitterness.
Yes. A common pattern: Lion's Mane or Cordyceps in the morning, Reishi in the evening.
Our own laboratory and mushroom farm. Controlled conditions at every stage — from culture tube to fruiting body.
Dual extraction: hot water plus ethanol. A 10:1 concentration retains the maximum of the active compounds.
Every batch goes through lab analysis for polysaccharide content, heavy metals and microbiology.
