Reishi Extract 1000 mg
SuperSmart
Overview
SuperSmart Reishi Extract provides a well-dosed, standardized reishi extract, which is crucial for efficacy. While reishi has a long history of use and promising preclinical research, robust clinical evidence for its widespread health benefits in healthy populations is still emerging. The standardization to key active compounds (polysaccharides and triterpenes) ensures consistent potency, making this product more reliable than unstandardized reishi forms.
The Good
High dose of Reishi Extract (1000 mg/day as recommended).
Standardized to 20% polysaccharides and 6% triterpenes, ensuring consistent active compound levels.
Reishi may support immune function and provide adaptogenic benefits.
The Bad
Robust clinical evidence for many of reishi's touted benefits in healthy individuals is still limited.
Mild side effects like nausea or insomnia can occur in sensitive individuals.
Potential interactions with certain medications (e.g., blood thinners, diabetes meds) require caution.
Is it for you?
