BulkSupplements.com Reishi Mushroom Extract Powder - Reishi Mushroom Powder, Supplement for Overall Well-Being - Gluten Free, 1g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Good product. Good price.

Just what I was looking for at a great price. No taste or smell, mixes really well, and texture is perfect. Helps with my mood and brain not feel so foggy. Helps with my body performance in all. No color, no taste…my favorite brand!

It should have a mild bitter taste which most people don't realize is an important part of Reishi's functional bioactives (triterpenes) and some brands are cheap quality, bland, lacking that but not this one. It seems potent and concentrated and I felt good on it. Some people just want it to taste good in their coffee but if that's the case just order some flavored, sweetened coffee syrup.

The product appears to be well made. I haven’t used it long enough to notice any health improvements as yet. The dosage instructions say 2/5 of tsp so this should last about 14 years

Use for health

I'm a 65 year old man and I've been Vegan since last July. I've also been on the potato diet with cooking and cooling potatoes and also drinking Almond milk with Bob's Red Mill Unmodified Potato Starch -> 1 cup mixed in the AM with stevia and Inulin. My body is in good shape and since weighing 220lbs 2 months ago, I'm presently down to 190 pounds. I eat ONLY when I'm hungry and not because I am bored.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this product. I mix 1 tbs of it with another 1tbs of Bulksupplements Pure Cordyceps Powder (1 kilogram) in a cup of boiling water with a pinch of salt and it's like I'm drinking really good tasty stuff that also does give me clarity and focus while also being somewhat calm.

I have always loved using Reishi as it helps me get more quality sleep at night. Dreams are much more vivid and come more often. It is very bitter but Reishi usually is. The good thing is the earthy aftertaste isn’t as strong with the powder as opposed to a liquid extraction. I also use Reishi powder to balance my hormones and maintain my immune system, but of course that is much more objective than subjective. So far I am really satisfied with the product as it helps me sleep just the same as fresh Reishi but at a fraction of the price!

I tried adding Reishi mushroom extract powder to my coffee every day to see if I could notice any benefits. The dose was very low at about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per day. Unfortunately, I developed the side effect of drug-induced cheilitis by the end of one week. Cheilitis is inflammation of the lips resulting in painful chapped lips. I've experienced drug-induced cheilitis a number of years ago as a result of taking Spirulina supplements, which I believe caused a excessive buildup of Vitamin A in my body (Hypervitaminosis A). So I stopped taking the reishi mushroom extract powder and the inflammation was gone in two days. So I would recommend that you beware of side effects like these and check your liver enzymes before and after adding this supplement to your diet. I've read some medical journal articles that mixing reishi supplements and alcohol consumption can result in hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).
