Hi loves,

Reishi Mushroom inhibits 5-alpha reductase, thus lowering DHT.

It has said to be the most potent natural anti androgen so far discovered, well those are the claims :p

I have not seen much talk about this, and hope to use this thread to share experiences and knowledge on the mushroom.

If there are other interesting threads I should know about, please let me know.

Lowering DHT is also great for girls who have PCOS. Or if you don't know what that is, basically high testosterone levels (hairy, acne, muscly females, who sometimes have less periods in a year than normal)

To start off, here is a nice article on Reishi:

And also:

And here is a thread of a succesful Trans NBE'er who used BO and Reishi into her regimen. (hope it is ok I share this here)

And a question:
Does anyone notice a difference between alcohol extracted based reishi mushroom vs. water extracted reishi mushroom?

Great timing Ellen. Iam currently waiting for my Reishi to arrive. I think it maybe the missing piece in my nbe routine, ive never had boobs, muscular, dark & excessive hair so reading ur attached article makes me think Reishi makes real sense even more so. Mine is 'herb pharm' and contains alcohol the article said 'alcohol extracted appears to be more potent'. Hopefully others can give some great tips how to use to my advantage eg. Doses/times. 
Thanks again Ellen

Hi Chrissy love,

 Anytime
Really curious about your experience with the new supplements you are getting, I think this will be the only other supplement I will be adding to my regimen (besides the BO). Please let me know how it goes after a while 
And what dosage works best for you
I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Where is everyone buying the Reishi mushroom at? This might be what I'm needing as well in my program.

Hey Jessica, If you're going to buy Reishi make sure you look into the company because mushrooms are a tricky business and you definitely want to make sure you get great quality. 

I think Reishi mushroom is a good addition to any NBE program. I've done a lot of research on reishi, mostly for health benefits, but when I found out it could help boost progress with NBE I started taking it every day and I've seen great results so I really believe that it was the missing key for me! There are many different types that you could take (extracts, pills, powders, tea). I have been taking Reishi tea from the company four sigmatic because I trust their integrity and their quality. I ordered it from online, and I search the web for promo codes that can bring the cost down (pro tip: I always do this to save money when ordering online) and I found a discount code that gives you 10% off your order, so it might be useful to you or anyone else who's looking into it. I buy the Reishi cocoa which tastes amazing and also the Reishi Elixir and Reishi spores. I'm almost a huge fan of their mushroom coffees which taste smooth and gourmet (no mushroom taste at all and for some reason it is helping me shed some weight). Here is a link with the discount applied: http://i.refs.cc/MB48wuwr


Good luck!

I actually want reishi due to its healing properties, I believe i have no androgen issues so hopefully taking reishi wouldnt create an issue but im sure it wont!

Reishi mushrooms contain numerous substances including polysaccharides that stimulate spleen cell proliferation and cytokine expression. Basically has to do with respiratory matters.
