why reishi

three reasons people take it every evening
Reishi is the mushroom of the evening: a recognized adaptogen with a long place in herbal practice. Here is what the licence actually says.
01
02
Evening
the wind-down ritual
One capsule with your evening meal, or whenever the day winds down. Same time each night, sixty days a bottle.
03
Immunity
immune support and antioxidants
Used in Herbal Medicine to support the immune system, and a source of antioxidants: the claims reviewed and licensed by Health Canada under NPN 80108421.
what 16:1 means
6 grams of mushroom. one small capsule.
Each 375 mg capsule carries the equivalent of 6,000 mg of whole reishi, extracted with hot water and organic grain alcohol so both the water- and alcohol-soluble compounds make it in. It is the most concentrated extract we make.
- Dual extraction: hot water and organic grain alcohol
- Maximum absorption
- Triterpenes (ganoderic acids) around 4%
- Polysaccharides over 25%, tested every batch

how we compare
hold any label against these rows
Most mushroom supplements in North America are mycelium grown on grain, with the grain left in. Here is the difference.

why Purana
every label says the same few things
Every Purana label says the same few things, and each one was a decision. Here is what they mean.
the mushroom, not the mycelium
100% fruiting body, sourced to our own standards for potency and purity. The substrate a mushroom is grown on never makes it into a Purana capsule.
concentrated, then named
Our 8:1, 10:1 and 16:1 dual extracts name their compounds, and every input batch is tested for potency and purity.
a Health Canada NPN for every formula
Each product was reviewed by Health Canada, formula, manufacturing and claims, and issued its own Natural Product Number, printed on the label and linked on this page.
Canadian, and plain about it
Organic, non-GMO and vegan, made in a GMP-certified facility in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Inputs are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and microbes. Nothing added that a label would have to explain.
your ritual
simple enough to keep
one capsule
Once daily, with food.
with your evening meal
Or whenever the day winds down. Same time each night.
sixty days
One bottle, one full habit. Decide on that.
what to expect
effects are built, not switched on
Mushroom extracts work through slow biology. The habit is the product. Here is the shape of the first two months.
- Day 1
start with food
One capsule with your evening meal. Nothing to feel yet, and that is normal. The first days are about the habit, not a sensation.
- Week 2
the habit holds
Same time, same meal. By now the capsule is part of the evening meal rather than a decision.
- Day 30
the research window opens
Most human trials of these mushrooms run four to twelve weeks of daily use. Notice how your days are going.
- Day 60
your own evidence
A full bottle is sixty days of daily use. If it has earned its place, reorder or subscribe.
the research
studied in people, not just in a dish
8weeks

1dosehuman trialIn a small placebo-controlled crossover study in healthy volunteers, plasma antioxidant capacity rose within hours of a single dose of reishi.

short answers
questions we get all the time
01what does 16:1 mean?
Sixteen kilograms of dried reishi fruiting body are concentrated into one kilogram of extract. Each 375 mg capsule therefore holds the equivalent of 6,000 mg of whole mushroom, which is what the label states. It is the most concentrated extract we make.
02what does reishi's NPN say?
Health Canada NPN 80108421 lists reishi as a source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties and of antioxidants, and, in Herbal Medicine, as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress (in case of mental and physical fatigue related to stress), as a liver tonic, and to support the immune system.
03fruiting body or mycelium?
Fruiting body only. The fruiting body is the mushroom itself. Mycelium is the root-like network it grows from, usually cultivated on grain, and mycelium products often contain that grain. There is no mycelium, grain or filler in a Purana capsule.
04how and when do I take it?
One capsule once daily, with food. Many people take it with the evening meal.
05does it have a Health Canada NPN?
Yes. NPN 80108421, issued by Health Canada after a review of the formula, the manufacturing and the claims.
06what is in the capsule besides the extract?
The extract, and a hypromellose capsule shell (plant-derived, vegan). No fillers, flow agents or additives.
07can I take it with medications?
Talk with your health care practitioner before starting any supplement, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a health condition. Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen, and stop use if a hypersensitivity or allergy occurs.
