Get To Know: Fruiting Reishi Mushroom Extract

Reishi has earned its title as the "Queen of the Mushrooms." It used to be reserved only for those in royal positions. For centuries, the reishi mushroom has been treasured in Eastern cultures for its immune-enhancing components. It works as an antimicrobial and contains many antioxidants to boost the body's natural immune defenses. But what can reishi do for you?

Helps You Focus

Studies have shown that consuming fruiting reishi mushroom extract can help the body enter a peaceful rhythm of 'light sleep,' also known as non-REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. This state of rest is required to help the body recover and recharge, which can help us to maintain focus. In addition, people experiencing chronic fatigue have benefitted from the consumption of reishi, as shown through double-blind placebo-controlled studies.

Improves Quality of Sleep

Reishi extract can also decrease sleep latency, the length of time taken to transition from being wide awake to asleep. How does this happen? Reishi can increase Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha (TGF-a), a molecule required for sleep regulation (studies have found elevated levels of TGF-a in the part of the brain that controls learning and memory)!

Boosts Your Immune System

White blood cells are a central part of your immune system, and reishi mushrooms can work wonders to impact them. Significant studies have shown that reishi can alter inflammation pathways in our white blood cells. Further research has shown that reishi can also benefit patients facing complex health conditions by increasing the activity of natural killer cells (a type of white blood cell).
