Reishi
Also known as: Ganoderma lucidum
The chill mushroom packed with adaptogens. Helps your body manage stress and supports deeper, more restful sleep naturally.
What it is
Reishi is a woody, bitter mushroom long used in traditional Chinese wellness practices, often referred to as the "mushroom of immortality" for its long history of use.
Why we use it
We include Reishi in Mushroom Gummies for its traditional association with calm and rest, complementing Lion's Mane's focus-leaning profile.
What the research generally suggests
Research generally suggests Reishi may support the body's stress response and relaxation, though much of the human evidence is still preliminary and study quality varies, so results should be considered promising rather than definitive.
Typical amounts
Studies and products commonly use daily amounts from around 250mg up to 1-2g of extract or powder.
In Flexies products: 250mg per serving.
