Reishi mushrooms contain a high concentration and large variety of naturally sedative compounds called 'triterpenes', which work with the nervous system to induce calm, relaxation and drowsiness.
Reishi is a powerful adaptogen which helps to regulate the release of stress hormones that influence mood and emotion.It helps to modulate the body’s response to stress via the adrenal glands, balancing levels of cortisol and adrenaline which are raised when we're stressed.
Reishi mushrooms are a rich source of beta-glucans, natural polysaccharides which are known to activate and stimulate the immune system.Mushroom beta-glucans have proven to be an effective adjuvant therapy, helping to maximise the body’s response to things such as vaccines which also target immune function. Beta Glucans also help to manage blood sugar levels as well as maintain healthy gut bacteria and regulate cholesterol balance.
