Reishi mushroom powder is one of the most potent ingredients in our popular Red Juice mix. And we love it so much, we just updated our unique blend of antioxidants, adaptogens, vitamins, and minerals, with an 8:1 Reishi mushroom ratio.
Read that again:
Red Juice now features 8:1 Reishi mushroom ratio.
Why? Because Reishi is just that good!
Reishi is not called the “mushroom of immortality” for nothing; it’s been used for centuries in Eastern medicine across China, Japan, Tibet, Thailand and more for its many health benefits and particular capacity to help boost metabolism and support natural energy.
Reishi mushroom benefits the metabolism, energy levels, immunity, skin, blood sugar levels - and more.
Research continues to show that both dried reishi mushroom and reishi mushroom powder have an incredibly positive effect on the body, potentially fighting anything from respiratory infections to depression and even cancer.
We don’t believe in miracle herbs or mushrooms, but we do believe in the power of superfoods and nature. While Reishi mushroom alone is not the cure for these conditions, the medical evidence shows that Ganoderma lucidum -Reishi’s scientific name- does improve metabolic rate, the immune system, and your skin.
Why We Still Love Reishi Mushroom Powder:
We’ve just scratched the surface of the reishi mushroom benefits so far, let’s dig deeper into why reishi mushroom powder in Red Juice and even dried reishi mushroom make a great addition to your nutritional health arsenal.
Metabolism + Energy Boost:
Feeling that afternoon slump? Needing that coffee-fix or else you can’t make it to five? We’ve all been there, but not everyone is dealing with it in the healthiest way. Instead of reaching for a sleep-disrupting cup of joe, or a guilt-filled doughnut reishi mushroom powder in a drink can give you the same proverbial wings and energy boost, without the side effects.

Reishi Mushrooms are Adaptogens: they help the body deal with stress, combat low energy and maintain homeostasis (balance) working with hormones like cortisol to detect your needs for energy and relaxation and helping you reach the middle point.
-
Support Metabolic Rate: in animal studies, Reishi helped modulate lipid and cholesterol metabolism, effectively managing fat levels. It is also used to promote healthy metabolism and digestion.
Natural Liver Detox:
Reishi mushrooms may improve liver detox and function, due to their high antioxidant value, helping the liver process and flush out toxins more effectively. Multiple studies point to the hepatoprotective nature of reishi mushroom powder.
Supports The Immune Response
The same beta glucans and antioxidants that make your skin shine bright like a diamond, help strengthen your immune system in a natural and effective way. Antioxidants help you fight off infections and free radical damage, while beta glucans promote the activity of natural killer cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes which fight infection and more.
These are just some of the reasons reishi mushroom powder is in Red Juice. There’s also the nutritional value of this adaptogen mushroom alone:
Remarkable Nutritional Value
Reishi mushroom benefits are not limited to their antioxidant power or beta glucans, although they are a big reason behind our reformulation choices. Reishi mushroom powder is also filled with the same nutritional values that the fresh mushrooms have. The Vitamin B6, Niacin, and Iron levels are especially powerful for people with plant-based diets.
Why Reishi Mushroom Powder Instead of Reishi Mushrooms?
Let’s be honest: nobody likes to chew on wood and Reishi mushroom has a strong woody taste and bitter, rubbery texture that takes some getting used to.
Reishi mushroom powder retains all the nutritional, antioxidant, and health value, but none of the fallen-timber aftertaste that you don’t like.
Dried reishi mushrooms are another great alternative to have, but they’re not guaranteed to be that much better in flavor; it depends on the preparation.
That’s why we prefer reishi mushroom powder -now in higher concentrations- to make our special Red Juice blend and get all those incredibly reishi mushroom benefits in a berrylicious drink. Red Juice is tasty, full of energy, and caffeine (and wood!) free.
Want to try fresh or dried reishi mushrooms anyway? Here’s the right way to eat reishi mushrooms to get the health benefits.
The higher concentration of reishi mushroom powder in our reformulated Red Juice increases the effectiveness and impact of the reishi mushroom benefits for metabolism, energy, and overall health.
