The question of “how much to consume for it to be effective” is a practical one, because only when results are seen quickly will both the consumer and the person who paid for the Reishi have confidence in it.

 

The effectiveness of Reishi is related to the dosage consumed.

 

When scientists conduct animal experiments, they often divide sick mice into several groups and feed them different doses of Reishi. The results often show that significant effects are only seen when a certain dosage of Reishi is consumed. Mice that receive too low a dosage may even show similar conditions to those that did not consume any Reishi at all.

 

Clinical research has shown a similar situation: for the same symptoms, the more Reishi is used and the longer it is consumed, the more significant the therapeutic effect. From practical application experience, it can be seen that the more complex and severe the condition, the more doses of Reishi are needed to achieve significant improvement.

 

 

The dosage required for health and sub-health

 

If you are young and relatively healthy, and you are consuming Reishi purely for health maintenance, then the recommended dosage on the Reishi product box should be able to provide health benefits.

 

If you are in a sub-health state and your medical report has shown some abnormalities, you might want to increase the dosage based on the recommended dosage on the product. Find the amount that suits you. When the dosage is right, after two to three months of consumption, you should see specific improvements:

●Improved sleep, spirit, resistance, appetite, and smoother bowel movements;

●Improvement in related disease indices, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and liver function;

●Reduction in uncomfortable subjective symptoms.

 

You can even compare your “before” and “after” appearances by taking selfies, and you should be able to notice subtle differences.

 

The dosage required for disease states

 

If you are consuming Reishi for the purpose of assisting in disease treatment, you will inevitably need a higher dosage than for simple maintenance in order to achieve your goal. Typically, Reishi providers who offer one-on-one consultation services will provide a recommended dosage based on past experience. Consumers can adjust this dosage as needed. But how should one adjust it?

 

One cancer interviewee said that he used the “severity of the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy” as a basis for adjustment. The dosage that “won’t make him vomit messily and allows him to live like a normal person” is the right one.

 

 

Consumers should adjust the dosage according to their specific circumstances.

 

By closely monitoring changes in their bodies, individuals can find the Reishi dosage that is suitable for them. After determining their daily intake of Reishi, it’s important to adjust it based on personal circumstances. For instance, if one has been under a lot of stress at work recently, or if they’re showing signs of a cold, they might want to consider increasing the dosage to enhance their body’s maintenance.

 

If an individual’s disease is almost cured, and his or her diet, sleep schedule, and exercise are all normal, the individual might be able to start gradually reducing the dosage. Remember to decrease the dosage slowly, just like when the individual was increasing it, reducing by one or two units per week. The principle is to ensure that “old problems do not recur”. Adjust according to how the individual feels, so that he or she won’t end up having to deal with a relapse of the disease.

 

 

Author’s Personal Comments

 

Some people are worried about whether they can ever live without Reishi, because as soon as they stop for four or five days, it seems like their old ailments come back. This is because we often repair our health on one hand, and squander it on the other, so of course we have to rely on Reishi in the long term. In addition, as we age and our bodies and functions deteriorate, we will need Reishi even more.

 

Actually, just like we need to drink water and replenish vitamins every day, Reishi also needs to be consumed regularly and over a long period of time in order to maintain good health. Perhaps we should instead feel fortunate that we have Reishi to accompany us throughout our lives, enabling us to live healthily and comfortably amidst the perilous jungle of diseases.
