Dwayne & Kristin Horton –
This review is solely for the reishi from Four Sigmatic – I normally purchase their chaga and I LOVE it (if I could rate them separately I would give their Chaga a 5 and their Reishi a 2). In any case, I decided to ‘branch out’ and try their powdered reishi for my most recent order. The first few cups/packets were fine, but then on my 3rd or 4th cup it coagulated when I added milk to it and then I noticed a bug floating in it! Super gross and disappointing :/ I dumped it out and made another new cup which ended up being fine… Then, today, I made myself a cup of the reishi hot cocoa (I got it as a sample from the store) and I found another bug in it! I can only assume this means that a big batch of Four Sigmatic reishi got infested with bugs and it went out in numerous batches – so, beware if you’re drinking their reishi right now.
Additionally, I find their reishi to be surprisingly mild. This means the taste is a lot easier to handle, but it also makes me question the potency/quality, since that tends to be an indicator (at least with most brands).
On a more positive note, their chaga really is fantastic and I would highly recommend it!

I have to admit this works. I have vision therapy every Monday and I usually come home absolutely exhausted from the workday and therapy. Since I’ve taken this, I come home with energy after the day and can still get things done, which is incredible. I don’t take this every day, so I think that helps with the effects. As a once a week dose, this is great.
**EDIT** Honestly who can afford to take this stuff reguarly? I ended up buying a separate powder for lion’s mane and rhodiola and it works great.

The flavor is super good and I have enjoyed this elixir drink very much. I ordered one box and I have used about 5 packets. I’m saving the individual packets for travel since I also have another Lion’s Mane product for home use. (see below)
My only concern in regards to the “energy” you get after drinking the elixir is, is it the added ingredient Rhodiola or the mushroom? I was totally unaware this was in the product when I bought it. I found it contained this plant quite by accident. I researched the herb/plant and discovered its benefits and recommended dosage. The recommended beginning dose of Rhodiola is 100mg per day to start. This product has 200mg. If you’re sensitive to herbs or medication, this is a pretty big hit for first timers. So, just be aware. I wish Four Sigmatic had given the fabulous Lion’s Mane a chance by itself so that we could judge the benefits of the mushroom on its own. For this reason, I also purchased FRESHCAP brand Lion’s Mane mushroom powder. I have been using this product for over two weeks and I do indeed feel the benefits. I have more energy and I feel focused and I stay focused when working on a project.
I really like the Four Sigmatic product, however, I’m going to stick with FRESHCAP Lion’s Mane powder for a while and see how it goes. I can add Rhodiola on it’s own if I feel I’d like to.
I love both products! I ordered both from Amazon…. Enjoy!

I drink this pretty much every day, I like the flavor, it’s kind of earthy with an undertone of toasted caramel flavor, to me it’s not a strong tasting as other mushroom beverages i’ve tried. I’m also interested in the health benefits of adding a variety of mushrooms and herbs to my diet and chaga are supposed to be really good for a person.

I have tried EVERYTHING to help me sleep. I have been drinking the Reishi Elixir every night for five nights and I have slept every night. I awake refreshed and ready for my day, and I’m not having energy crashes midway through the day like I did before I started the mushroom regimen. I am seriously amazed and can’t wait to try their other products.

I have been dealing with chronic insomnia for years and have tried everything under the sun, from Western Pharma that always had unpleasant side affects to acupuncture, various Naturopathic sleep remedies and therapy. I found out about this product from watching a review on a YouTube channel. I figured why not try it. I consulted with my Naturopath to make sure it was safe to use with my other supplements. After the okay and a week later, I am amazed at the improvement in my overall quality of sleep.
I take the tea about an hour before bed and actually feel tired and ready for bed, not wired and agitated. If I do wake up at night, I am able to get right back to sleep. I know this product won’t work for everyone but I would highly recommend trying it for sleep and relaxation or anxiety.

I use this for my anxiety to help me relax at night. I mixed it with warm almond milk and it tastes like a toasted marshmallow when I added stevia in raw to it. It definitely helped me relax and ease up buttttt it’s incredibly small packets and there’s 20 packets. I like this but the price is way to high! That’s the only reason I didn’t give it five stars. After having this for week straight I must say I really look forward to this at the end of my night. Can’t wait to try other products.

I was helping a friend pack her home into a moving truck for an out-of-state relocation and during one of our breaks she made me cup of this Lion’s Mane elixir. I’ve never encountered a mushroom I didn’t like and this was no exception. Off of that one experience I purchased this box of 20 packets for myself.
The flavor is subtle but really nice and satisfying. Even though they taste nothing alike for some reason it reminds me of drinking hot cocoa as a child. As for the claims of increased focus… I can see that being the case for some people, but not everyone. I’m a moderate coffee drinker (straight black coffee) and this elixir doesnt provide the same kick coffee does. However, I do feel some degree of clarity after consuming it.
All in all, it’s a little pricey but well worth it if you want to treat yourself with something different.

I have used the Chill tea several nights so far. First the taste is not great but not unbearable. Don’t know exactly how to describe how I feel after drinking the tea but there is a definite difference. I do feel more relaxed and almost like my brain kinda shuts down. Not in a drugged way it feels more natural. I will say I am having a deeper and less restless sleep.

Can not speak highly enough of the Reishi Mushroom Elixir. I’ve had sleeping problems for most of my life, particularly just falling asleep, as my mind tends to race before bed. I’ve been taking the Reishi almost daily for the past couple weeks, and with the exception of one day, it has worked wonders in helping me fall asleep quickly, soundly, and waking up without any morning grogginess. It’s reduced the amount of time I spend in bed not sleeping, between trying to fall asleep in the evening, and convincing myself to wake up in the morning.
I drink it as a tea, 1 hour before I want to go to bed. Personally, I enjoy the taste of the tea. It’s got a bitter, earthy flavor, with a slight sweetness that softens the taste. The taste may not be for everyone though. I’ll wash after drinking and then get in to bed with a book, and usually within 5 pages of reading, I’ll start to feel an intense calmness and sleepiness, at which point i just put the book aside, take off my glasses, and fall asleep almost immediately. I don’t believe it’s a placebo given how intense the feeling is, so I would highly recommend it for people who have some basic day to day sleeping troubles.
I’ve also tried the Lion’s Mane, and as other reviews have stated, I feel something different, but it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly. The effect does seem to wear off a bit with daily use, or perhaps you just get used to the feeling. Not as big a fan of the flavor of this one, but it’s a decent addition to a regular coffee as it does have some sweetener.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Elixir Mix was my first ever experience with neutropics. I was led to this product by a Tim Ferriss youtube video on supplements he recommends. Overall, I would say this is a good, but not great product.
I ordered directly from Amazon a few months ago and have consumed around 10 packets since. The packaging looks nice and appealing and I was excited to experiment. It mixes well with both coffee and tea – the taste is excellent!
After consuming the mixture I was ready to Go Limitless! While I didn’t exactly feel like Bradley Cooper, I experienced a slight boost in energy and focus. Whether this was the caffeine from the coffee/tea or convincing myself of placebo mental benefits, I’m unsure. I think this product is worth trying and experimenting, but I would like to try something else before purchasing again.

I’ve ordered this mushroom tea a few times because I love it. It really helps me get into a deeper sleep at night. I’m a smaller person and this stuff is kind of pricey, so I split the packet in half to make it last longer. Also, I skip a couple of nights per week so my brain keeps making its own melatonin. The new formula tastes good, its smooth and a little like coffee. The old formula had a bitterness to it that was a little unpleasant.

My husband has tried many things, including sleeping pills prescribed by a doctor. This is the first time in years he has slept heavily through the night, even having dreams! And no sleep hangover when he wakes up in the morning either!

This Four Sigmatic Chaga Elixir is a long time staple in our home! It’s 100% original one. Seller delivered quickly with impeccable packaging! My husband drinks it everyday keeping immune system strong! This is high dosage 1500mg pure Siberian Chaga Extract per package, it’s really concentrated and dissolves marvelously in a hot water as tea, no clumps, no unpleasantness.

Love this for focus; ( I have adhd and pair the lion’s mane elixer with alpha GPC and can make due without adderall).
However, WTF is up with the price? It was already a stretch to my budget, but I reasoned that Four Sigmatic was a company worth supporting; with integrity and a quality product. Now, I don’t think I can justify the cost. I understand that it’s business, but it feels like a slap in the face. After referring so many people to the product, and being on board when they were less known, their success means I can no longer afford to be a customer. They have become the Trader Joe’s of supplements.

I just received this product a moment ago, ran to my teapot, and enthusiastically made my first cup of Lion’s Mane Mushroom Elixir tea. Well… Houston we have a problem. This tea is going to be a verrrrrrrrry expensive new addiction for me because I absolutely LOVE it. I added a small amount of plant milk to it (my favorite is Trader Joe’s ‘Almond, Cashew & Macadamia Nut Beverage’ because it’s NO carb and NO sugar) with a tsp of xylitol (proven great in fighting cavities), and suddenly I am sipping something soooooooo delicious and sinful, omg! The fact that this tea also grants me health benefits is a dreammmmm come true
Serial shopper –
I came to know about this through many health blogs and podcasts. It’s a natural holistic way to calm your nerves down and help you to sleep better if you have it in the evening post dinner.
It’s a pricey product but definitely worth the price.
I’ve used it with warm water and blended with coffee as well, works great both ways.
I like the flavor although it’s a bit strong and bitter.
I wish it was little less pricey.
James Nelson –
It tastes like a potion, but in a good way. Maybe that’s why they call this an elixir! Well, it’s my favorite tasting *mushroom drink* I’ve ever had, so far. 🙂 They added *just* the right amount of natural flavors to make it taste – basically everything in this powder was a brilliant idea.
The Rhodiola that’s in this blend works well and immediately, even though it’s a small dosage. It’s an herb, but has stimulant and antidepressant effects. Subsequently, I’m only able to notice the Lion’s Mane effects in retrospect, but that’s good too. The Lion’s Mane effect might be subtle but this blend has been nothing but positive experiences!
I highly recommend for any herb conscious people to pick up these packets and try them out, give it to your friends too! Serve it hot. If you want to become more articulate without being overly verbose, noticeably, then: Lion’s Mane. This drink is great to try it out in! And for people making up a nootropic stack, then notice, there’s also Rhodiola here, 200mg of that vs. the 1500mg of mushroom (and work something out for adjusting this to your body weight, etc. etc.).

I have purchased Four Sigmatics Cacao Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi previously from a local grocer. I love having cacao as an evening wind down & really helps me sleep. While adapting to a new nutrition plan, including counting macros, calories and carbs – decided to try the Elixir due to it only having 1g carbs & 5 calories per pack. The Hot Cacao with Reishi has 4 carbs & 25 calories per pack. _ Although that’s not a lot, at the end of a day logging my nutritional information I don’t want to blow my plans by the nutritional content in the Hot Cacao. Wish I had not made the decision to switch! The Elixir is NASTY tasting! I have tried to stomach it 3 different times out of desperation for a better nights sleep. It’s awful and I get nauseous from it! Would Not recommend the Elixir Mix – if this is your vibe, let me know as I have 17 packets still in the box, that will continue to collect dust in my pantry until I have to throw it out!
World Traveler –
I like this product and it tastes good in tea and I believe it works but it’s 20 packets for $30. Very pricey and not even a 30 day supply. If you take it twice a day you only have a 10 day supply for $30. I had to switch to KOS because of it. It’s the same thing but less money and I get a 30 day supply taking it twice a day. I took a star off due to the price.
Kevin Sharkey –
My gf has used this a couple of times and was knocked out for the night! She only used half though because a full packet made her groggy the next day. I would suggest starting lower and working up to a full packet.
Amazon Customer –
After a night of not being able to sleep, I thought I would give this a try. Mixed it with water 1-2hrs prior to sleep and I slept like the dead! I haven’t slept that well in years!!! Think of Chamomile or sleepytime tea (minus the flavors) on steroids. I am so mellow after sipping on it that my mind finally let’s go of thoughts. But I do need to have 10hrs of sleep as I am slightly groggy waking up the next day.
Kindle Customer –
Love these. Have purchased multiple times and will do so again. I get great sleep when I drink this and it tastes really nice. I don’t feel drowsy like with cold medicine but I sleep really deeply.
Baker –
This is a fantastic tea for sleep assistance and calming you before bed. Have taken it for the past 2 nights and my sleep has been deeper and dreams more vivid. I have the Oura ring in which tracks my sleep and can definitely tell differences in deep sleep.
Will continue to use nightly.
HUCKGIRL –
I took this product 4 times now with black coffee. The taste is great. I noticed that I have sustained energy and uplifted mood throughout the whole day. Not like a caffiene high, but just a lot of energy. My blood pressure was slightly high – 128/82 and now it has gone down in 4 day to 98/68 mmHg. Not sure if this is a fluke, but I will continue to take it and see if it sticks. I love this product. I am telling all my friends to take it as well.

I ordered Chaga Mushroom Elixir after finding out about its health benefits.
I dissolve it in my morning cup of coffee. And it truly works. I feel more stimulated after drinking it, versus just drinking regular coffee. I feel more energetic throughout the day.
I do not feel that my coffee tastes or smell any different with Chaga in it. However, I gave my mom a taste and she said, she can smell Chaga.
Previously ordered Lion’s Mane from Four Sigmatic and had a great experience with the product. At the time I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and found that Lion’s Mane helps with the condition. after taking it for just a few months, I did a blood test and my results greatly improved. It is now back to the normal range.
Renee Johnson –
So far I’m loving this chaga mushroom elixir. I’ve been drinking it 3 days in a row by mixing it in with a little vanilla almond milk & honey (instead of water as the package says). The taste kind of reminds me a bit of the postum I used to drink as a kid. It already seems to have some magical kind of juju working because I’ve been battling with sinus issues for 6 weeks taking all sorts of immunity building supplements and after only a few days of drinking this my sinuses are clearing up enough so I can stop taking decongestants and sleep through the night without my nose stuffing up. I will definitely buy this again!
Ivy Eduarte –
This is the best! After using it two days I have the best sleep of my life with no pills no nothing! I have taking anti anxiety medication, melatonin…everything and this puts me to sleep and makes me dream. When I dream I get deeper sleep. I am out! I don’t toss and turn! I am really out! I have been taking it for more than a month now and I threw away my anxiety medication.
