DIRTEA Calm Powder

Reishi is the Queen of Mushrooms. It’s known for its calming qualities. Reishi is great to relax, wind-down and centre yourself. It helps promote deep sleep whilst also helping to support immune health and enhancing your body’s natural defence. 

Reishi has a very bitter taste, and works well mixed into hot chocolate or a cacao.

Reishi, “the queen of mushrooms,” is one of nature’s most soothing wonders, famous for promoting calmness and supporting better sleep. (1) The high number of triterpenoids found within this mushroom powder not only accounts for its bitter taste, but they are functional compounds that may benefit our parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and better-quality sleep, so we say the more bitter, the better! (2)

Reishi is rich in polysaccharides and beta-glucans, which are complex carbohydrates known for their immune-enhancing properties. The number of triterpenoids within Reishi may also support immune health. (2)(3)

Reishi was highly esteemed in ancient Chinese culture, where it earned various titles, including the "Mushroom of Immortality" and the "Elixir of Life." It was believed to promote longevity, improve vitality, and enhance spiritual well-being—the first records of mushroom cultivation date from thousands of years ago in East Asia.  Reishi is also known as Shen tonic. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Shen translates to our spirit and “higher consciousness," representing the divinity within all.

Since launching DIRTEA, we have made it our mission to bring the benefits of mushrooms to the world. We use only the purest and most potent organic ingredients sourced sustainably from family farms. We also pride ourselves on our meticulous quality by using a dual extraction process and vigorous 3rd party testing that results in the purest mushroom powders. Unlike some of our competitors, we insist on using 100% of the fruiting body and do not use any mycelial biomass (oats, rice or grains) as filler. 

Our Mushrooms help to support your immune system, maintain healthy brain function and boost healthy skin and bones. 

DIRTEA mushroom powders contain 2,000mg of mushrooms per serving.

Our products are complementary when taken together, and we love combining different DIRTEA products for their individual benefits. 

There is plenty of evidence to support the benefits that functional mushrooms can offer children, but it’s worth noting there is no definitive research on the topic. Meanwhile, there is also no indication that they pose any danger to children.

We recommend it not be given to children under 10 years of age. At this early stage, children’s bodily systems are still developing and adapting to their environment.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s always a good idea to consult your child’s paediatrician before introducing any supplements into their diet particularly if they’re on medication. 

No, our Pure Powders are free from allergens. 

Please consult your doctor if you have a medical condition or are taking any medication.
