If you're feeling burned out, anxious, or tossing and turning at night, Reishi might be exactly what your body’s calling for.
Known as the “Mushroom of Immortality,” Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used for over 2,000 years to support deep rest, balanced immunity, and long-term vitality. And modern research agrees—this mushroom is a powerhouse adaptogen that helps the body handle stress more gracefully.
At Boxed-In Mushroom Company, we craft our Organic Dual-Extract Reishi Tincture to deliver that support—cleanly, powerfully, and reliably.
How Reishi Supports Stress Relief & Restful Sleep
Reishi works differently than a sleep aid. It doesn't knock you out—it helps your body regulate the stress response so that sleep comes more easily.
Studies show that Reishi may:
Support calm and relaxation by modulating cortisol levels
Help balance the nervous system and ease anxiety
Improve sleep quality and duration over time
Gently boost immune resilience during periods of stress
The effects tend to build gradually—Reishi is best when taken consistently.
Why Dual Extraction Matters for Reishi
Reishi’s benefits come from multiple compound classes:
Polysaccharides (immune support) — extracted with hot water
Triterpenes (stress & inflammation relief) — extracted with alcohol
Our tincture uses both methods—slow-extracted over several weeks—to ensure you're getting the full calming, adaptogenic profile of the mushroom.
What Makes Our Reishi Tincture Stand Out
We don’t cut corners. Period.
100% fruiting bodies only – never grain-grown mycelium
Certified organic cane alcohol – no corn, no industrial solvents
Dual-extracted – complete compound profile
Zero fillers, additives, or artificial flavorings
Crafted in small batches – with attention to potency and quality
How to Use It
Take 2 mL daily, ideally in the evening or before bed.Use directly under the tongue or in a cold beverage.Avoid heat—high temperatures may degrade key compounds.
Pro tip: Try pairing it with our Turkey Tail tincture for additional immune support, especially during high-stress seasons.
