In some places I see the dose for Reishi listed as 1.5g 2-3 times per day(3-4.5g total).
A dose of 2-3 caps 2x daily of the brand you bought is only 1.5g total.
A few warnings about reishi:
It's suggested that you start at a low dose and work your way upward from there.
I've read that after 4 months on red reishi you should take a break from the reishi for 1 month, then repeat. Other places suggest not taking it every day.
Be cautious of taking blood thinners like asprin too close to a dose since reishi is a blood thinner.
Wait an hour between taking prescription meds(synthetic) and reishi.
The Reishi has a detoxing effect which could reduce the effectiveness of other meds.
Thanks Outsider, may I ask where you heard that about reducing the effectiveness of other meds? That concerns me a little.
I take an antidepressant - just once, at night time. But I take this at the same time as I take my night-time herbs.
I'm alergic to asprin, so not concerned about that too much as I don't take it.
