Evidence before hype

Research on medicinal mushrooms is interesting but uneven. Some human trials exist, while other evidence is animal, mechanistic, or traditional-use based. We label that distinction instead of turning ingredient research into a product-level promise.

Reishi & cholesterol evidence

A Cochrane review found limited evidence from a small group of trials and did not establish clear cardiovascular benefit.

Shiitake & cholesterol evidence

A small randomized human study reported a triglyceride change, but that does not prove a branded multi-ingredient supplement produces the same outcome.
