Does Reishi Added to Coffee Make You Sleepy?
Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been prized in Asia for their health-promoting benefits, such as relieving fatigue and increasing immune function while fighting free radical damage. Furthermore, Reishi can support sleep quality as well as mental wellbeing by decreasing anxiety, stress and depression.
Reishi mushrooms are powerful adaptogens, helping balance hormone levels and strengthen adrenal function to manage stress. Reishi also contains antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties; its composition includes polysaccharides and triterpenoids that boost immunity – and animal studies have demonstrated cancer-fighting potential of Reishi mushroom extracts.
Reishi mushrooms combined with caffeine can have an unexpected calming effect, without the usual stimulant side effects such as jitters, upset stomach and insomnia. Reishi interacts with the nervous system to produce a sedative hypnotic effect which encourages relaxation of body and mind for natural sleep cycles.
Reishi Roast stands apart from its competitors by using pre-extracted woody mushrooms like reishi, chaga and milk thistle that have already been extracted, roasting just like regular coffee and then using a French press to extract their medicinal qualities. After many iterations by Charnay and Mazzarella they finally came up with a formula which combines health benefits with taste – creating an herbal tonic which serves both purposes perfectly! Enjoy Reishi Roast either as a replacement to coffee or on its own as herbal tonic!
