What it is

Reishi, also known as *Ganoderma lucidum*, is a type of mushroom native to Asia. It grows on decaying wood in damp, humid forests. Reishi is often dried and powdered for use in supplements and foods.

Why it's used

Reishi is typically added to foods and beverages for its purported health benefits, often marketed as an adaptogen. It is commonly found in powdered supplements, teas, coffee, and some chocolate-flavored products.

Health notes

Reishi is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Some research suggests reishi may have immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects, but more high-quality human studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated reishi and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence on its long-term effects and specific health benefits is still developing.

Allergen info

Reishi is a mushroom and is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
