Reishi Tincture

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), also known as "Lingzhi," has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its numerous health benefits. 

• Immune System Support - Reishi contains polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenes, which help enhance immune function by stimulating white blood cell activity. This makes it useful for fighting infections and improving overall immunity.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties - Its bioactive compounds help reduce inflammation, which may be beneficial for chronic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and autoimmune diseases.
• Stress and Anxiety Reduction - Reishi is classified as an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress. It may reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote relaxation by regulating cortisol levels and supporting the nervous system.
• Supports Heart Health - Reishi has been shown to help lower blood pressure, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, and improve circulation. These effects can contribute to a healthier cardiovascular system.
• Liver Protection and Detoxification - This mushroom supports liver function by promoting detoxification, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting liver cells from damage. It may also assist in conditions like fatty liver disease.

• Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Effects - Reishi is rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and slow the aging process by protecting cells from damage. This may improve skin health and overall vitality.
• Potential Cancer Support - Some studies suggest that Reishi has anti-tumor properties and may help slow cancer cell growth. It can also support the immune system during chemotherapy or radiation treatment. 
• Blood Sugar Regulation - Reishi may help stabilize blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.
• Sleep Aid and Energy Booster - Despite its relaxing properties, Reishi also helps improve energy levels over time by reducing fatigue and improving oxygen utilization in the body. It’s commonly used to promote restful sleep without sedation.

Recommended Dosage for Reishi Tincture:

• Standard Dose: 1–2 dropperfuls (1–2 mL) per day
• Higher Dose (for therapeutic benefits): Up to 3 dropperfuls (3 mL) per day

Best Time to Take Reishi Tincture

• Evening/Nighttime (Best for Relaxation & Sleep)

  • Reishi helps lower stress, support adrenal health, and improve sleep quality.
  • Take 30–60 minutes before bed for optimal sleep benefits.

• Morning (For Immune & Stress Support)

  • If taking it for immune or anti-inflammatory benefits, you can take it in the morning with food to avoid potential stomach discomfort.
  • Reishi is not stimulating but can still support calm energy levels throughout the day.

How to Take It:

• Sublingual (Under the Tongue) – Place drops under your tongue, hold for 30–60 seconds, then swallow. This helps absorb the compounds quickly.
• With a Beverage – Add to tea, coffee, or warm water. Works well with herbal teas like chamomile or turmeric for added benefits.
• With Food – If you have a sensitive stomach, take it with meals to improve digestion.
