Staying up late and feeling tired…how does taking Reishi mushroom improve their health?

First of all, we must know that sub-health belongs to deficiency-taxation in traditional Chinese medicine, つまり, various factors lead to the imbalance of yin and yang in the qi and blood in the five zang viscera. 霊芝s can enter the five meridians to adjust the five zang viscera, balance yin and yang, and help the human body to strengthen healthy qi.

In essence, sub-health is manifested as an obstacle to the homeostasis regulation of the human body, which is caused by the reduced ability of the human body to adapt to changes in the internal and external environment. 霊芝 has a homeostasis-regulating effect, which can stabilize the internal environment of the human body and enhance the human body’s ability to adapt to changes in the internal and external environment, so that blood pressure, blood lipids, blood viscosity and blood sugar can all be maintained at normal levels, thereby regulating immunity and enhancing resistance.

If they continue to take Reishi for a long time, they will enjoy the effect of preventing disease and strengthening body resistance.

霊芝 is good at fighting alone, and it can also be combined with different ingredients to meet the health needs of people of different ages and physiques. Its performance is satisfactory.
