How Soon Can One See the Results of Taking Reishi?

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that taking Reishi Mushrooms will have you feeling incredible after a few hours. It's not an active medication like antidepressant SSRIs. Think of it as attempting to solve a number of issues at their core, instead of simply managing the symptoms.

Once you begin taking Reishi Mushrooms, it takes time for your body to adjust to the new functional supplement. However, to see results, you might have to wait for at least two weeks, but it is possible that you may feel the effect in a shorter time period.

Conclusion: A Word of Caution

Don't get discouraged if you don't experience the benefits soon enough as they can potentially take up to a month to be felt. Don't increase your recommended dose on your own as that could have its own list of associated risks.
