For sleep / calm, Reishi earns evidence grade C (small effect, low consistency) — the evidence is limited or mixed. Weak

Its beta-glucans and triterpenes modulate immune-cell activity and have mild calming effects.

Standardized fruiting-body extract; dose per product.

Generally safe; mild antiplatelet action; rare liver reports at high doses.
