Reishi Organic 16:1 Dual Extract

Biohacker Review: A Sublime Anxiolytic

First impressions of Reishi, it smells magical, 300 milligrams taken as a tea produces a sublimely pleasant anxiolytic effect. I really liked the relaxed and stress-free headspace it produced. Typically, I take a few grams of Ashwagandha before bed but after taking the Reishi I didn't need to. I read for about 15 minutes, fell asleep quickly, and slept deeply.

I had heard from various places around the internet that Reishi is a mushroom for spiritual enlightenment, which sounds totally corny, but on Reishi, I have a subtle sense of relaxed arousal, tranquility, and optimism. I had sex on the stuff once, I think it might be something of a libido promoter but Horny Goat Weed will remain my go-to sex hacks. I wouldn't describe it as a classic sleep hack that knocks you out and puts you to sleep, it just makes you really relaxed which is conducive to sleep or hanging out a reading a book.

The 15-gram package I shared with my wife and went through in about a week. I think I'd have to take more to evaluate the stuff as a long term immune hack. If I try Reishi in the future, I'll get a larger package more.

I did try some Reishi from another source, cheaper stuff and it wasn't as good as Lost Empire's stuff. It didn't taste as magical nor did it have such a sublime tranquilizing effect - quality matter with herbs!

The most credible source of this form that I've identified is Reishi Organic 16:1 Dual Extract sold by Lost Empire Herbs in the USA.

16:1 extract means that 16 kilograms of Reishi mushrooms are used to produce just a single gram of this extract.
The Mycelium is a part of the mushroom, which at least in the case of Reishi, contains less of the bioactive components, than the stem or the cap. It's cheaper than extracts of the cap and stem but the Nootropic or biohacking effects desired will likely be diminished.
