How is reishi different from ordinary edible mushrooms?
Reishi is not eaten as a food - it is too tough and bitter. In traditional practice, it was brewed as a tea or used in the form of an extract. The modern capsule form is a convenient alternative: no bitterness, no preparation, a fixed amount of substance per dose.
Reishi contains beta-glucans, triterpenes (hapodermic acids), and polysaccharides - these compounds are considered the key active components of the mushroom. Now Foods does not decipher the content of individual fractions in this product, so focus on the total content of the extract.
Who is Now Foods Rei-Shi 270 mg suitable for?
The capsule form is convenient if you want to include reishi in your daily diet without unnecessary steps - no need to brew, measure powder or drink a bitter decoction. Four capsules per day with meals - a simple scheme without being tied to the preparation time.
The vegetarian casing allows the product to be used by people who avoid animal-derived gelatin. Rice flour as a filler is a neutral choice without wheat gluten.
How much reishi should you take per day and how to do it correctly?
According to the manufacturer's recommendation: 2 capsules twice a day with meals - that is, 4 capsules per day and 1080 mg of reishi extract daily. Taking with meals may contribute to better tolerability - reishi has a characteristic bitter taste, which even in capsules is sometimes felt when drinking.
If you are adding reishi to your diet for the first time, it makes sense to start with a smaller amount (1-2 capsules per day) and gradually increase to the recommended dose - this makes it easier to assess the individual reaction of the body. This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine; before using for chronic conditions or taking medications - consult a doctor.
