The reishi mushroom has been used in Eastern medicine for centuries, and is commonly known in Asia (where it’s grown in warm, moist areas), for its powerful, healing properties.‡ Reishi contains certain molecules, named ‘polysaccharides’ and ‘peptidoglycans’ which are uncommon, and considered to be the source of its antioxidant, health-benefiting effects.‡
Reishi is believed to help in supporting and maintaining the body’s immune system.‡ These mushrooms also help to support and maintain healthy functioning of the digestive system, and overall well-being.‡ Reishi mushroom powder is the dried extract form of the reishi mushroom. It is roughly 10 times less potent than consuming the mushroom itself, which means dosage can be easily controlled, and there are less side effects.‡ This nutrient-rich superfood can help your body adapt to stress, fuel your digestive system with vitamins and minerals, and soothe a restless mind before you go to sleep.‡
This article will take a deeper dive into some key, but lesser known reishi mushroom health benefits.

Reishi is known as a calming agent for the mind and body, however few are aware it works in a similar way with skin - working to support in the balance of the skin’s overall health.‡ Ceramide is used to maintain a protective outer layer of the skin which keeps the stress out, and the moisture in. Over time, due to natural stresses of life, sun damage and aging, the levels of ceramide in your skin eventually begin to deplete. As reishi is nutrient rich, it may help to maintain your body’s natural supply of ceramide, enabling your skin to become less reactive to stressful environments, hydrated and supple.‡
