Reishi, or shiny cordgrass(Ganoderma lucidum), is one of the best known functional mushrooms. The name reishi translates to "divine mushroom of immortality". The red reishi species from which this instant drink is prepared is especially well known for its effects.

Like other functional mushrooms , it contains several hundred biologically active substances with a very wide range of beneficial effects on the human body. Probably the most well-known of these are betaglucans, which harmonize our immune system.

Reishi thus definitely lives up to its name of "divine mushroom of immortality". It has a beneficial effect on the immune system, helps maintain normal circulatory function and contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels.

This drink also contains holy basil or tulsi. It is an herb belonging to the group of adaptogens. Ayurveda has recognized and revered tulsi for centuries for its ability to promote inner calm and normal function of the respiratory system.

Who can take this drink

• people who are going through a period of stress
• those who have difficulty falling asleep and need to calm down
• those who want to support the immune system
• those who want to support the function of the circulatory system
• those who want to support the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels
  
  
  

Why prefer a double extract of functional mushrooms

For the human body, much of the mushroom tissue is indigestible. Therefore, when we swallow the powder of a ground dried mushroom, we cannot absorb nearly all the valuable active substances from its cells.

The extract, on the other hand, contains all the beneficial substances in an easily digestible form. And to really get all the substances from the natural mushroom, you will even find a double extract in this instant drink. That is, not only the water-soluble substances, but also all the other substances that we have obtained by extraction with alcohol (which, of course, is not contained in the final product at all).

The double extract therefore ensures a higher concentration and better bioavailability of the active substances for the organism. And this is the basis of our functional mushroom products.

Why we love Four Sigmatic

Four Sigmatic - originally from Finland, now based in the US - is the project of a bunch of smart guys who call themselves the Scandinavian funny guys. They combined their lifelong passion for processing functional mushrooms and adaptogens with an original idea. They have enriched popular drinks with these traditionally used medicinal gems that can fill our every day with more energy, physical stamina, inner peace and productivity. With this venture, they have made functional mushrooms available to virtually anyone.

Adding the dual extract of functional mushrooms and adaptogens to popular beverages like hot cocoa, coffee, latte or matcha latte or creating a multi-species mushroom blend creates a drink for moments of well-being while "recharging the batteries" and boosting the psyche and immunity.

Four Sigmatic products meet the strictest quality criteria. In addition to USDA Organic certification, they are regularly tested by independent laboratories for heavy metals, yeast, mycotoxins and radiation levels. The ingredients in all Four Sigmatic beverages are purely plant-based.
