Does your energy flag at three o’clock?
You start the day well, but by mid-afternoon your concentration drifts and the biscuit tin starts calling. A short walk, a glass of water and a proper lunch help more than another coffee, and so does making sure you get enough of the nutrients your body uses for energy. Reishi Plus is a small daily step in that direction: one capsule, once a day.
The working part, in terms of authorised claims, is vitamin C. One capsule provides 60 mg, three quarters of the daily reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system.
The rest of the capsule is reishi (Ganoderma), a mushroom with a long history in East Asia, where its Chinese name, ling zhi, is often translated as “spirit plant” and it is known as the “mushroom of long life”. Each capsule contains both reishi extract and whole reishi powder. The mushrooms are grown on farms rather than gathered in the wild, a method developed in the 1970s that makes consistent quality possible.
Who is it for? It suits people with long working days, students in exam season, parents of small children who rarely get an unbroken night, and anyone who wants a single, simple capsule rather than a cupboard full of tubs. Because it is vegan and lactose free, it also fits plant-based diets.
