What is Reishi good for?

Reishi Mushroom is known as the ‘chillax’ mushrooms

Reishi is best known for its ability to help you to feel calm. It may also help the body and mind prepare for rest and to rest more deeply.

The triterpenes found in reishi have been linked to stress reduction and relaxation. By interacting with the central nervous system, these compounds may help alleviate anxiety and improve mood.

Used for hundreds of years

Also known as ‘Ganoderma lucidum’, this ancient mushroom’s history spans thousands of years, with its roots deeply embedded in traditional Chinese medicine. Known as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality’ and the ‘Herb of Spiritual Potency’, ancient texts reveal its use by emperors, scholars, and sages seeking balance and harmony in both body and mind.

Why do Forest Superfoods Reishi mushrooms get the amazing results?

The 4 reasons our Reishi works

1. Our Reishi is 100% Australian Grown and organic.
2. We freeze dry our mushrooms:  Our unique drying process is (almost) the nutritional equivalent to eating the mushroom fresh.
3. We use the whole mushroom, which contains the whole spectrum of nutrients, vitamins and compounds found in nature.
4. We include the mycelium: The ‘roots’ of the mushroom great for gut health + contains active compounds not found in the fruiting body

When is the best time to take Reishi?

Reishi’s ability to help calm the mind and relax the body make it a fantastic super food to take at night, promoting deeper and more unbroken rest. Take after dinner to experience its calming benefits before bed.

Does our Reishi contain any fillers?

No! It is the whole Reishi fruiting body + mycelium with traces of the growing medium (organic brown rice) which cannot be separated completely from the mycelium.

The mycelium (the “roots” of the mushroom) provides a range of gut health benefits and active compounds not found in the fruiting body. The fermented rice is a powerful probiotic.

Does it matter where Reishi is grown?

Grown Organically in Australia

Originally found in the dense, humid forests of Asia, our Australian grown Reishi is grown right here in Australia.

Reishi typically grows on logs of hardwood trees, although we use certified organic brown rice as its substrate, where its mycelium develops over several months before the distinctive cap begins to emerge. Patience is key in cultivating reishi, as it can take up to a year for the mushroom to reach maturity.

Mushrooms are nature’s sponges

Mushrooms will absorb any heavy metals and pollutants in the air or water, so it’s incredibly important that they’re grown in a clean environment. We grow our Lion’s Mane right here in Australia, to the highest certified organic standards, to ensure it’s the best quality on the planet.

Why does Forest Super Foods only sell whole foods?

Unlike processed foods & extracts that are stripped of their natural goodness, whole foods retain their complete nutritional profiles, boasting a rich array of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and active compounds.

With their unparalleled ability to promote vibrant health, whole foods stand as the unrivalled champions of nutrition, offering us a safer and more varied amount of benefits than an extract.

Is it just the beta-glucans' % that matters?

Recent studies have found that there is a lot more benefit to Reishi supplements than just the beta-glucans.

This is why it best to always choose a full-spectrum, whole food mushroom product to ensure you get the full range of benefits (not just the beta-glucans).

Which is better - capsules or powder?
