What it is

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a type of mushroom used for centuries in traditional East Asian medicine. It is often grown on logs or in controlled environments and then dried and powdered for use in food and supplements.

Why it's used

Reishi is typically added to foods and beverages for its earthy flavor and is marketed for its potential health benefits. It is most commonly found in supplements, teas, coffees, and baked goods.

Health notes

Reishi is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While traditional use suggests various health benefits, scientific evidence in humans is still developing and mixed for many claims. JECFA has evaluated reishi and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Some studies suggest potential immune-modulating effects, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

Reishi is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
