Noticed that while drinking a cup in the evening, I slept so much better! Need to order more. Note the taste is very earthy but you can sweeten it a little with honey. I’m fine with it being natural tasting as opposed to full of preservatives and artificial flavors.

This is an amazing product to help you relax and sleep, especially if you mix it with Reishi Spores, there are two versions at the moment, the old recipe has Liquorice and the new recipe has Tulsi, I have tried both and prefer the taste of the Tulsi version (which is the one that has the yellow tab on the front saying improved recipe) but both versions do the job equally well. I can’t imag bedtime without my Reishi Elixir!

The first day I started taking this I noticed a big difference in sleep quality. It doesn’t make me sleepy but it does make me fall asleep much faster and the quality of sleep is way better. I have much more intense dreams when taking this. I actually dream every time I take Reishi. Going to buy another box for sure!

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 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.

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.

The Reishi Mushroom Elixir works in regards to helping you to feel calm and ready for sleep. My reduced stars come from having an adverse reaction including a rash across my chest, facial skin that suddenly became tender to the touch, massive breakouts, and constipation. It took me three times using the product this week to realize this was the culprit as I was very excited about the positive effects. There’s no information included regarding side effects which are a reality of mushroom adaptogens as I began to research this further. I’m unsure what made me particularly susceptible to reacting but figured this is worthwhile to know if you are considering this product. I am very strict with a clean, grain/dairy/soy-free diet and meals that I’ve had were all cooked at home when this reaction began. Again, it’s truly effective on turns of assisting sleep and providing a calming experience; it’s the side effects that are concerning in my experience.

This reishi is conveniently packaged in individual serving packets and tastes good. But it’s expensive and includes stevia and other fillers (peppermint, anise, etc.).
What I’ve noticed is that all the Four Sigmatic individual mushroom packets contain stevia and other powders along with the mushroom powder. This might not be a problem for some people, but I prefer the pure form more.
The pricing is also pretty crazy. It’s closing in on $1.50 per serving, when you can get the same quality reishi from other companies for $0.18 per serving (pure reishi).
I know Four Sigmatic likes to throw around words like “wild crafted” and whatever else, but understand those terms as marketing. There’s nothing special about their mushrooms that other companies don’t offer, too (lab testing, non-GMO, certified organic, specific extraction techniques).
Bottomline:
If you like the flavor, don’t mind the extra ingredients, like the convenience of single packets, and can afford the cost, the Four Sigmatic reishi packets are totally fine.
If you just want pure reishi at a more reasonable cost, and you’re willing to teaspoon out the reishi yourself, then look elsewhere for similar quality reishi.

Maybe I ordered to wrong stuff, but was under the impression this was supposed to be a relaxing elixir to help chill out.? Not the experience we had with it. Both my wife and I ended up with heart palpitations and very anxious. Funny because we have really enjoyed their mushroom coffee, not as much as actual coffee.
robert bleakley –
Delicious and mixes well with water
Doodlemom –
The taste is terrible! I don’t know if I will be able to get past that- what are other people doing to make it more palatable?!?
Amazon Customer –
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!
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.

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!
Nathan and Leanna –
I enjoy the flavor and have amazing dreams after I drink this before bedtime!
Wish packets were a bit less messy to open but am happy
Buddha bear –
Very good product. Has seemed to help with my immune issues this fall/winter. Will be purchasing again!
Coco Kofoed –
This has a nice taste hot or cold (though hot is better).
Marilena Savino –
Taste not great
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.
Christina T –
Really love this product. The taste is earthy and soothing. I really feel it helped me with my anxiety
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.

The bad….A few years ago I made earthworm casting tea to fertilize my garden. Worm dirt in cheese cloth that was aerated with an aquarium pump in a large bucket of water for several days until the microorganism multiply. Then you sprinkle it on the foliage, water with it etc.
Well deja vu?!? This stuff’s smell and I can only speculate taste, as I never drank any of the worm tea, but it sure brings back memories of standing over the earthworm tea bucket and smelling the delicious perfume of the worm “elixir” NOT. lol
The good….I COULD feel a little bit of an effect after forcing down 1/2 a cup of the elixir. But it did not help me sleep the first night.
I am thinking of adding the packet to a bowl of vege soup before I go to bed. Perhaps that will hide enough of the flavor to enjoy the entire dose
Roro –
I’m pregnant and was super restless. This tea is giving me my night sleep back 🙂 so happy to have found it! It’s super convenient although kind of pricey. I wish they would sell in loose powder form without all that unnecessary packaging. But I’m thankful for it!!
Rebecca –
I started using this when I went keto to relax before bed. Especially in the winter months I really enjoyed it before bed. The taste is very earthy and a little bit bitter at first but after a couple tries, I developed a taste for it. I like to add a little lemon or even mix with tea sometimes.
Eric h –
I only wish the price was better or they had better deals on it going on four sigmatics site is a better option but not as convenient.
Anastasiia –
This works very well for me. I feel significantly more relaxed 10-15 minutes after I drink this elixir.
Tammy –
I’m not sure if it’s in my head… but I sleep really well after drinking this. It’s my nightly ritual. I enjoy the taste, it’s not overpowering and there’s no mushroom flavor.
Bradley Williams –
Tastes great! I found myself having 2 sachets for any real benefit. Overall good product
Megan –
Awesome drink to relax and aid in restful sleep. Four Sigmatic also has great customer service. Thank you!
Y. Cunnington –
Easy to dissolve into a delicious tea/coffee-like drink and you can add milk or cream to it. I was hoping it would help me sleep better, but I notice no effect.
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.
