Reishi, "the mushroom of immortality", is a type of polypore which grows on trees. It is often used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Known to reduce inflammation, improve gut barrier and enhance respiratory wellbeing.
A recently published study in BMC Microbiology even suggests Reishi supplements have an anti-insomnia effect.
The potent anti-inflammatory effects of this bracket fungus has been gaining great interest in regards to how it can help support women experiencing menopausal symptoms.
