Stress and fatigue
- Action of active substances: Reishi triterpenoids affect the GABAergic system, which is the main inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain, promoting a calming effect without causing drowsiness.
- Studies: Clinical studies (e.g., Journal of Medicinal Food) indicate Reishi's ability to reduce neurasthenia symptoms, improve sleep architecture, and reduce the subjective feeling of fatigue in patients with chronic fatigue.
- Therapeutic benefit: Promotes homeostasis of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing the impact of cortisol fluctuations and increasing the body's resistance to psychoemotional stress.
