This is the ONE to buy. No others. Why? Because this product and company believe in giving you mushrooms with real medicinal value, not the other mushroom products that are about making money. The other companies try to convince you that polysaccharides are what to look for, not hardly. Starches, for which they are, say nothing really. There can be polysaccharides from any sugar, starches. Such as glucose, dextrose, and sugar form and they often come from grains, not mushrooms. What you want for medicinal values are the Beta-glucans and others not in this product. I recommend whole-heartedly people do some research on this, like I did and you won't make the mistakes like I did before finding out more on this subject. I was looking for medicine for body issues and these serve me well because of all the medicinal properties and not those starches, that don't come from the mushrooms even. Another words, a BIG RIPOFF to the consumer. Please find out more about mushrooms and your health. The company that makes these is a great place to start, and you'll be amazed at what you learn. :)
We purchased two other brands of reishi from a retail store in capsules (each around $25-30) but was too anxious to wait. Both brands of opened capsules tasted like a very dark chocolate = full of fillers. Continuing my search I found this Real Mushrooms brand who has ALL the information I was looking for including where it's sourced from/grown, polysaccharide content, all ingredients, how it was extracted and that it's bitter! All the reviews backing this up are true. It's more expensive, however I've already learned you get what you pay for with reishi.
It's only been about 4 days taking it daily so I can't say if I notice anything yet. I read vitamin C helps break down the polysaccharides leading to higher absorption, so I mix 1,000mg of real vitamin C from HealthSource with water (do not take abscorbic acid as it's linked with arterial plaque, gallstones, who knows what else), take a big sip of the C water, then dump 1/4 tsp reishi directly onto my tongue, then gulp down the rest of the C water to flush the bitterness out of my mouth. Also found some info that taking it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning (if you can handle it) , plus extra water "helps flush poisons from your system." Today I started doing that and my stomach handled it fine and I've felt remarkably calm despite being a normal workday, so there may be something to it!
Luckily we were able to return the originally purchased bottles for full refunds and now have an actual source!
This has been a game changer for me. Started using this at night. Really helped me sleep. I then started micro-dosing during the day at work. Really helped relax me during stressful days. I feel much better taking this. My reseach indicates that you do not build a tolerance to Reishi like other adaptogens (Rhodolia) so you can take this every day. I have taken everyday and experience the same positive effects. I have also gotten through two months of cold and flu season without getting sick.
I’ve been using their Reishi for probably over a year. I’ve also used the lions mane, cordyceps (when I was beginning to quit caffeine), and 5 defenders. I swear by the Reishi as my go-to. It gives me an inner calm and balance that I feel is crucial for anybody. Plus it’s good for your immune health. I’ve done a ton of research on Reishi and it’s top of my list of supplements. Probably the only one I need. Oh AND their customer service is the great. I messed up on their Black Friday sale and they got back to me right away and helped me, no problem.
First I must say, this product tastes horrible! I made the mistake of putting it in my smoothie the first time I took it and it made the whole smoothie taste really bad. BUT from that day on I just mixed it with warm water, drank it down and had a juice right after in order to chase that taste away. And since I started drinking it, my energy level has gone up. I have an active Epstein-Barr Virus and Reishi is one of the supplements that are supposed to help fight that virus. I am gonna continue taking it! Even though it does not taste good, my health is worth the few seconds of bad taste....
Feature Product
- POTENT 8:1 REISHI MUSHROOM EXTRACT POWDER: It takes 360g of reishi to make the 45g of reishi extract in this product. Made exclusively from 100% log grown, organic red reishi mushrooms. These fruiting bodies are hand picked and dual extracted with hot water and alcohol to make the best extract possible. Extraction makes both the beneficial beta-glucans, triterpenes, plus thousands of other nutrients from the mushroom more bioavailable to us.
- WITH REISHI BITTER IS BETTER: When it comes to reishi, you want it to taste bitter. Bitterness is a key quality indicator of reishi. The bitterness comes from the beneficial triterpene compounds that develop through the mushroom's interaction with the wood it grows on. Many reishi products do not taste bitter and this is a clear indication that they do not contain these beneficial triterpene compounds. Be forewarned, our product contains >4% triterpenes and you can taste the bitterness.

For an extra health boost, add it into your coffee, tea, green smoothies, post-workout protein shakes, as an extra ingredient in your favorite recipes or maybe even an upgrade in your bulletproof coffee. Our extracts are 80-90% soluble in water.
- GUARANTEED POTENCY: Active compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes are where reishi derives its benefits from but you won't find many brands with potency guarantees right on the label. Why? Because it's hard to do and many brands don't live up to the hype. At Real Mushrooms, we want you to know that the beneficial active compounds are present in every product. Real Mushrooms Reishi 415 is guaranteed to contains >15% Beta-glucans, >4% triterpenes. Real compounds. Real results.

Reishi History
The Reishi mushroom has been revered in China for thousands of years and is utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an immune system booster. Today it is widely cultivated using wood logs in shade houses. Scientific research for Reishi mushroom activity began in the 1970s in China and Japan. Scientists discovered highly active beta-glucans with the ability to potentiate innate immunity by activating immune cells. Also discovered were secondary metabolites called triterpenoids which were present in significant amounts and sets Reishi apart from all the other medicinal mushrooms.
The mushroom extracts from this company are what I judge all other extracts by.
You can tell by the taste that these extracts contain a high level of medicinal compounds.
I just wish they would sell these powders in higher quantities at a reduced bulk price. They are very expensive and bulk pricing can benefit both the producer and consumer.
I encapsulated this powder into size 00 capsules.
I was able to get just under 500mg into each capsule.
I could take just one a day or take two a day which would be the recommended dosage on the packet.
If it was for just general health maintanence I would go with 500mg or one a day.
If you were taking it in order to fight a disease I would go for the 1000 mg dose or even 2000mg dose and maybe even take that two or three times a day.
Reishi is very bitter and I feel that this is a good way to take it.
The capsules will also help to preserve the powders freshness.
I use “the capsule machine” to encapsulate powders.
It is a US product.
It only does 25 capsules at a time but unlike the Chinese made capsule machines that do 100 or more capsules the caps consistently go on with this machine.
The Chinese machines break them and you end up having to put them all on by hand anyway so they don’t actually save you very much time.
It is also much smaller and therefore easier for storage.
I've been using this as part of a treatment regimen for a cat with a life-threatening autoimmune disease. It's crucial to use immunomodulating supplements, as opposed to immune stimulants, when treating autoimmune conditions and reishi (fruiting body) is king in the world of immune modulating supplements. I wanted a pure, organic formula, and so far this is the only one I've found that fits the criteria. I can't understand why more medicinal mushroom formulas aren't organic. If you're taking it for immunity because you're sick, the last thing you want is to bombard your body with pesticides.
The only side-effect kitty has experienced (that I'm aware of) is an upset stomach if the dosage is too high. Cats can take 10-25 mg./1 lb. of body weight daily. I started him at the max dose (not the best idea, I know) and have had to decrease it to the minimum, which still appears to be effective. He definitely has more color and energy on the reishi. When I've stopped it for a few days due to tummy issues I've seen a decline in color and overall well-being.
He usually eats it mixed with his regular food, so the bitterness doesn't appear to bother him. He is a bit of an odd duck in that regard; I think cats generally aren't fond of bitter foods. If you wanted to try it on your own cat, you could probably disguise the flavor in something stinky like mackerel.
I'm planning to add cordyceps, another immunomodulator, to the regimen before long.
I am happy with this purchase and after doing some research I feel this is the best product out there right now. Before you open the bag, make sure all of the product is tapped to the bottom of the pouch. Otherwise some will probably spill as you open it, as the seal tends to be open during shipping. I haven't had any issue with the bag since then.
Good stuff. I think it even enhances the flavor of coffee. Sure, it's somewhat bitter, but the health benefits that it's supposed to provide far outweighs complaining about it. If you get the right ratio of coffee/creamer to mushroom powder, it tastes REAL good! For me, it's a little more than 1/4 teaspoon in about 10 oz of coffee. During the last bout of sickness my family had (I was having the mushroom powder almost every day), I was the only one that did not get the full blown cold/flu, but I was also taking other supplements to boost immunity. Makes me wonder if the mushroom powder helped during that time.
This Reishi extract is top quality. It may seem a bit pricey for the amount, but customer service explained to me that it is the most potent form of reishi available and is organic which is important because many products that come from China are loaded with pesticides. I have taken the extract a couple of times and it definitely gives me a nice boost of energy, it is also supposed to be good for the immune system and I have been feeling great while taking it. I will re-order from this company in the future.
