Purana Reishi 16:1 Extract Capsules, 375mg Concentrated Organic Adaptogen for Sleep, Stress and Adrenal Support, 60 Capsules

Purana Reishi 16:1 Extract Capsules Details

Sixteen to one is a serious concentration — the highest ratio in the Purana range — and reishi is the mushroom that most justifies it. The compounds that make reishi distinctive are triterpenes, and they are bitter, sparse and alcohol soluble, which means a weak extract of reishi is close to worthless while a strong dual extract is a genuinely different product.

Reishi is used in herbal medicine as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress. Adaptogens work by regulating a stable balance across the hypothalamic, pituitary and adrenal glands rather than pushing one system in a fixed direction. In practice reishi supports endocrine function, particularly in the adrenal cortex, helping balance cortisol and adrenaline — which is the mechanism behind reduced anxiety, improved mood and better rest.

The triterpenes have adaptogenic effects associated with blood pressure management, mood regulation, and calming allergies and inflammation. Reishi also helps down-regulate the immune system where appropriate, which distinguishes it from the mushrooms that only push immunity upward. Chinese medicine called it lingzhi, the mushroom of immortality, and used it as a shen tonic — for the spirit rather than for physical output. Purana produces high-end functional supplements from ancient ingredients — functional mushrooms and other complex beneficials that stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms to promote synergy in health. The brand is passionate about biodiversity and believes the answers to modern health lie in medicines that have existed on this earth for thousands of years.

Who Purana Reishi 16:1 Extract Capsules Is For

This is for anyone whose stress is chronic rather than acute: poor sleep, a mind that will not switch off, adrenal fatigue after a long stretch of pressure. It is also the obvious counterpart to lion's mane — one for focus, one for calm — and the two are commonly taken together.

Reishi is not a sedative and will not act like one on a single night; it works over weeks. It is distinctly bitter, though in capsule form that hardly matters. Anyone on blood thinners or immunosuppressants, or with surgery scheduled, should speak to a practitioner first, since reishi may affect clotting and immune signalling. Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
