I was looking for calming supplements and came across these mushrooms. I wanted to give these “medicinal mushrooms” a try.

When it comes to adaptogens, Maitake is a less well-known medicinal mushroom, but it’s quite potent. It’s a hormonal and stress regulator, and it may have a positive effect on PMS, thyroid function, cortisol, and insulin.

Grass & Co. claims it supports stress relief. It contains Magnesium 200mg & Maitake Mushroom 400mg Capsules with Ashwagandha Vitamin B6 and L-Theanine, which sounds promising.

Pros

• Sense of calmness Within just 5 minutes, I noticed a sense of calmness. It does help to slow down your mind.

• Better sleep I feel like the quality of my sleep has improved. It’s a good supplement to use as part of bedtime routine.

• Natural ingredients No fillers or binders and vegan-friendly. I had no reaction to these. It’s a pure powder from a trustworthy source and goes through rigorous testing (check the certification).

Cons

A bit of an unpleasant smell, but that’s expected in organic products.

Usage
Take 1 or 2 capsules a day.

Overall
They do what they’re meant to do. I’d say it’s definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a natural way to support better sleep and manage stress or PMDD / perimenopausal symptoms. It’s good value for an organic product.
