I don’t want to be a Karen, but new product alert posts should have atleast 1 ND employee anecdote on the effects. I’m physically distressed not seeing anecdotes in the comments.

This is the most potent reishi fruiting body extract in the world in regards to ganoderic acids. It's been a long time coming. We have been working on a reishi extract specifically targeting the ganoderic acids for a long time, but lab testing limitations made that difficult. For a while one of our competitors was selling a reishi extract that they claimed contained 6% triterpenes, which ganoderic acids are. However, the lab they were using was a fake dry lab. When they sent the sample to Alkemist, it turns out it was only 1.8%. That's still pretty good, as most of the stuff on the market we tested has almost none. However, they charge ridiculous amounts for it! We wanted to do a much more potent one for a much better price. It took us a while to get it right, and it turns out a straight ethanol extraction was the best way to get the highest ganoderic acids. We've been able to get as much as 15% in some extractions, but we settled on 9% as the standardization, as that is what we can reliably hit every time. This batch has over 10%. We are also only taking into account the 10 ganoderic acids as part of the USP list. There are other ones in this extract that are not a part of that 9% number, so this is a VERY potent extract.
As far as effects are concerned, it's very calming and helps improve sleep. I feel more clearheaded on it, too. It also has a lot of positive effects on the immune system, but obviously those are less noticeable acutely/consciously. It's very similar to Lucidispore, but a lot cheaper per dose.
