Reishi Mushroom Tincture

Reishi, often referred to as the “Queen of Mushrooms,” is renowned for its calming properties and long history of use in traditional Eastern medicine.

Reishi has been valued for thousands of years for its potential to support overall health, longevity, and wellbeing. This medicinal mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is especially celebrated for supporting relaxation and the immune system.

As an adaptogen, Reishi helps the body adapt to stress and maintain internal balance, making it a popular choice for those seeking calm, resilience, and holistic health support.

Reishi is classified as an adaptogen, meaning it may help the body adapt to physical and emotional stress. It’s known for its calming properties, which can support relaxation and promote a sense of balance. While not a treatment for anxiety, Reishi may contribute to overall emotional wellbeing as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle.

Reishi contains a range of beneficial compounds, including polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenoids. These work together to support the activity of white blood cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells, which are key to supporting the body’s natural defences.

Reishi is traditionally known for its naturally calming properties and is often used to support relaxation and better sleep. It may help activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of the body responsible for rest and recovery—making it easier to unwind at the end of the day.

Reishi has a distinct, earthy, and bitter taste, which is characteristic of the mushroom and linked to its naturally occurring triterpenes.

In tincture form, it’s extracted into organic grain alcohol to enhance absorption, giving it a strong, herbal flavour with a grounding, warming quality.

If the taste feels too intense, it can be easily mixed into water, tea, or other drinks for a more balanced experience.

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms stands out due to its ultrasonic-assisted extraction, which ensures a highly bioavailable tincture with a potent concentration of active compounds.

The mushrooms are cultivated in the pristine air and pure waters of Finland, ensuring exceptional quality. Every batch is fully traceable through a QR code on the packaging, providing batch-specific data and transparency on active compound levels— rarely offered by other brands.

For daily support of overall health and well-being, we recommend taking 2ml (equivalent to 2x half pipettes) directly under the tongue or mixed into smoothies, tea, or coffee. If needed, you can increase your intake to 4ml (4x half pipettes) per day.

If you are considering a dose higher than 4ml for a specific purpose, we advise consulting your GP before use.

Reishi, is best taken in the evening or before bedtime. Many people find it helpful as part of their wind-down routine. However, it can also be taken during the day to help manage busy lifestyles—just choose a time that aligns with your personal wellness goals and routine.

Our tinctures come in Miron glass bottles, which protect the extract from light exposure, preserving potency. It is still adviseable to store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Unfortunately, due to the high cost of Miron glass packaging, organic mushroom cultivation, and advanced extraction processes, we are unable to offer free samples currently.

Reishi is generally considered safe for most people. However, those with mushroom allergies, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or anyone taking medication for ongoing health conditions should consult with a healthcare professional before using Reishi.
