Reishi fruiting body dual extract

Mechanism

Reishi is the most studied calming mushroom in traditional medicine. Two compound families do the work: long-chain sugars (called beta-glucans) help with sleep onset, and bitter compounds (called triterpenes) help quiet the stress-hormone response. You need both extractions to get both effects.

Why we use it

Perimenopausal sleep is hard to fix because two things go wrong: it's hard to fall asleep, and stress hormones run high. Reishi addresses both. It's the mushroom anchor of the PM packet — paired with Magnesium L-threonate (next row) for the sleep-depth side of the equation.

How we dose it

Hericea uses 1,500 mg per serving (per PM packet). The clinical trial range that anchors this dose is 1,000–3,000 mg/day.

1.5 grams of a dual-extracted Reishi mushroom — meaning extracted twice (in hot water and then in alcohol) to pull out two different families of active compounds that handle two different jobs. Most Reishi supplements use only one extraction and only get one half of the medicine.
