Reishi mushrooms are well-known for their sleep-inducing properties and ability to enhance mood and decrease stress levels. Studies demonstrate Reishi’s effect on GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that lowers neural activity and promotes sleep. Furthermore, Reishi acts as an adaptogen that has been shown to regulate stress hormone release, helping individuals manage chronic stress more effectively while encouraging relaxation and restful restful sleep. When combined with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits found in Chaga, Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps – mushroom coffee becomes an exceptional solution to promote sleep quality improvement.

Reishi mushrooms have long been used in traditional Eastern medicine as an aid to longevity and general wellbeing, believed by some to extend both. While not all its traditional uses can be supported by modern research, beta-glucans, triterpenoids and ganoderic acids found in reishi may have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels, heart disease risk factors and immune system function.

Reishi can be considered safe for most adults when taken as a dietary supplement at the recommended dosages. Since nutritional supplements are unregulated and quality may differ between products, individuals should always read labels carefully and consult a healthcare practitioner prior to adding any new food or herbal product into their diet. Reishi may cause digestive discomfort and allergic reactions in some individuals while prolonged consumption could potentially trigger liver concerns.
