similar to chaga, reishi is very diverse in benefits with high anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and immune-boosting properties. reishi is considered an adaptogen for its ability to calm the fight or flight response, strengthing resilience in both physically and mentally stressful situations. reishi is additionally known for its potential benefits to the kidneys and liver by reducing inflammation and reducing erosion of the nephron outer membrane (decreasing kidney permeability). reishi’s immune-supporting properties are well-rounded, including promoting innate immune function, humoral immunity, and cellular immunity. in particular, reishi extract may improve the function of B and T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells.

what to expect.

while reishi is rich and diverse in benefits, the two most noticeable effects are stress reduction and digestion improvement. reishi is considered a powerful adaptogen, which helps strengthen stress resilience by "tuning" the HPA-axis to not respond so dramatically to everyday pressures that can elevate nervous system tension. this helps the mind-body allocate more resources toward proactive processes like nutrient absorption, cellular detox & repair.

we do it right.

all roots apothecary mushroom extracts are certified organic and lab tested to verify beta-glucan content and therapeutic compounds. our mushrooms are grown on native substrates and are always extracted from the fruiting body. if you’re wanting the powerful benefits of performance mushrooms, choose organic extracts from the fruiting body to maximize both therapeutic compounds and bio-availability.

extracts are better.

mushrooms are often dried and ground into a powder. this is the cheapest way to produce a supplement, but it provides the least health benefits. essential beta-glucans need to be extracted from the cell walls of a mushroom. these cells are made of an indigestible fiber called chitin. the human body can’t easily absorb chitin, and so the beta-glucans end up passing through rather than being absorbed. extracts break down chitin, making beta-glucans available for absorption.

fruiting body has the good stuff.

fruiting body refers to the actual mushroom cap and stem. myceliated grain is the root system of a mushroom grown on top of a grain substrate resulting in approx. 50% roots, 50% filler, and 0% of real mushroom. mycelium is cheaper and faster to produce than waiting for a full proper mushroom. beta-glucans are found in the fruiting body, not the mycelium.

a boom and bastardization.

mushrooms have been around for a long time. the greeks labels mushrooms as “food for the gods” and hippocrates, circa 450bc, classified mushrooms as a potent anti-inflammatory. there are countless examples of mushrooms being recognized for their medicinal properties throughout history. performance mushrooms are becoming very popular in modern holistic health and western medicine for their and ability to calm the stress response, reduce inflammation, promote neurogenesis and plasticity, strengthen beneficial gut flora, support the immune system, fight pathogens, increase sustainable energy, and much more. like most natural remedies that go mainstream, the mushroom industry is flooded with low-quality products that test low in beta-glucan and active compounds. when a mushroom tests high in polysaccharide, but low in beta-glucan content, it's basically an exotic potato. high in starch, low in therapeutic value, and deceptive above all. while the booming popularity of performance mushrooms is bringing mainstream attention to these healing enigmas, the bastardization of quality and authenticity makes it difficult to find a product that packs the therapeutic benefits found in nature. if you’re interested in the benefits of mushrooms, you should know what you’re getting.

Customers praised this organic mushroom extract for immune support. One healthcare professional adds it to morning smoothies alongside other supplements and reports feeling "amazing every morning and throughout the day." Valued for helping maintain health during high-risk environments.

Reishi Goodness

I add Roots Reishi to my coffee or tea regularly, as well as to smoothies. I find that it adds a little hint of "umami" to my coffee and like the flavor. (I don't notice the flavor when mixed into a smoothie.) More than that, the main reason that I enjoy the product is that I just feel better. I was surprised that I also seem to sleep more soundly since taking it. It's a great addition to my health and wellness program!

I wish I would have found this sooner

I got reishi for stress reduction and digestion improvement and it’s been amazing. However I also realized that it helps me sleep so much better. I take it in the early evening and I have had zero problems falling and staying asleep.

i’m too much of a weenie to take it consistently because it tastes SO bad. i’ve but it in several things and every time i have to choke it down:( at this point i might just start putting it in a shot glass with juice. im confident the product is good for you though! i hope ill start using it more consistently soon!

Amazing Product!

I love Roots - I recommend especially their mushroom powders so often because they've made such a difference in our family's health…including my cat! My 5 year old cat has had an upper respiratory infection for his whole life, and this reishi mushroom powder appears to have healed him. He's been on only this supplement for months now, and he's the healthiest he's ever been. Thank you, Roots, for making such a great product!

Thumbs up!

Using ONLY the fruiting body. Definitely! Organic. Absolutely!
It's all about trust and authenticity. The product itself is wonderful! I will choose to continue to give my business to Roots Apothecary. Highly recommend.

It was ok

To be honest I didn’t give it a fair shot to know if it worked. What I didn’t like about it was that it doesn’t blend or mix well. I put it in tea, coffee and cold foam, it very mixed well enough. The powder is grainy and rough on the throat. It would irritate my throat every time and eventually I just stopped using it for this reason. Im sure the product works great it just wasn’t for me.

Great product with amazing benefits!

I highly recommend the 3 shroom stack pack! After a couple of days of taking the dosage listed w/ water and honey, I felt more alert, less stressed and more focused. I will be buying more of this and other products from Roots! Thank you!

Great quality

I cannot confirm Reishi is the reason for it (as I have been doing many additional things for my health), but I have not gotten sick since November of last year. I mix it up in my coffee, and don’t feel the taste. I feel very good consuming a product of such good quality.

Give it a try

I've been reading about ways to decrease my level of anxiety without going on medication, and reishi was something my therapist recommended. I did some research on mushroom blends versus reishi itself, along with companies that claim theirs is more potent etc. I stumbled on Roots Apothecary, and I couldn't be happier. They stand by their products and offer your money back if you're unsatisfied, so I figured, why not? After one to two weeks, I've noticed a difference in my sleeping pattern. After one month of taking it consistently, I've seen a difference in my level of anxiety. Since then, I've been on a monthly subscription. I've also given samples to friends, and they're now on a monthly subscription. I also like that they provide small samples of other products for you to try.

Great for immune support

I add a serving of this to my morning smoothie and it helps my immune system stay healthy. I am a nurse working in an Emergency department in a big city and so far, fingers crossed, have not gotten COVID-19. I attribute this to eating healthy, getting rest, exercise and supplementation of Roots Reshi, Chaga and Adaptive Cacao daily. I add the Reshi and Chaga to my morning smoothie and drink the adaptive cacoa every morning with the lions mane honey. Feel amazing every morning and throughout the day. I am no longer as scared to go into work knowing I have these to help me stay healthy.
