Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is an exquisite red-varnished medicinal mushroom often called the queen of mushrooms or “the mushroom of immortality.” Reishi has long been used as an adaptogen, helping the body manage physical, chemical and biological stressors effectively.
Studies suggest that Reishi mushrooms contain natural sedative compounds which help people sleep more soundly, improving both quality and duration of restful restful slumber. Furthermore, research shows it supports healthy blood pressure levels for many individuals.
Reishi mushrooms contain beta-glucans, natural polysaccharides that activate and stimulate the immune system, helping reduce and manage inflammation effectively. These beta-glucans have anti-inflammatory effects.
Reishi has been shown to help lower triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood, potentially decreasing risk for heart disease while managing high blood pressure for some individuals. Additional research may also prove effective in helping prevent high blood sugar levels – but more investigation must be completed on this. For this reason, it is wise to monitor your blood sugar and speak to your physician prior to taking supplements like Reishi; additionally maintaining a balanced diet and regular physical activity are also key elements in maintaining optimal levels.
