Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have been used in East Asian medicine for over two thousand years. Modern research focuses on polysaccharides (including beta-glucans), triterpenes, and antioxidant compounds.
Immune support
Beta-glucans in reishi can bind to receptors on immune cells, including macrophages and natural killer cells. This can support immune surveillance while helping regulate inflammatory signaling.
Sleep and stress response
Reishi supplementation has been associated with improved sleep quality and reduced stress response in some studies. Proposed mechanisms include effects on neurotransmitter balance and shifts in gut microbiota that influence the gut–brain axis.
Oxidative stress and cellular protection
Reishi contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that may reduce oxidative stress. Reviews of human and animal studies report increases in antioxidant capacity and markers of protection against oxidative DNA injury after reishi intake.
How we formulate
Our reishi supplement is made from Ganoderma lucidum and verified for active compounds.
