Pure gold. I experienced a parasympathetic state within 10 minutes of taking it and interestingly, extreme focus if reading or meditating before going to bed. Always the sceptic, I was really impressed with this product, it is the real deal. - Felicity N., Equanimity Reishi Spore Oil customer.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used for over 2000 years. Reishi is a source of Qi (Chi) energy - the vital life force, and nowadays is known as the calming mushroom due to the subjective feeling associated with it’s consumption. Ganoderma spores are the fungus's reproductive cells ejected from the cap of G. lucidum after the fruiting bodies become mature.
You may have heard of the terpene Beta-carotene before. Terpenes have also been found to have anti-inflammatory, antitumorigenic, and hypolipidemic activity. Terpenes in Ginkgo biloba, rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis), and ginseng (Panax ginseng). Reishi Spore oil is rich in Triterpenes and it is this class of compounds that gives the herb its bitter taste and, it is believed, confers on it various health benefits, such as lipid-lowering and antioxidant effects. For a list of reishi health benefits currently being researched, see:

Dave Asprey: Equanimity is like Reishi Mushroom on rocket fuel as a highly concentrated form of Reishi spore oil. It takes approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) of Reishi fruiting body to produce enough spore oil to make one single Equanimity capsule, making it extremely potent, and it has been described as the happier cousin of CBD by some. You will likely notice things like higher quality sleep, improved immune system functioning, and better stress management while taking these capsules.
Matt Blackburn: What about PUFA content? Reishi spore oil is mostly oleic acid (50%) and less than 17% of the less harmful omega-6s. Unsaturated fat consumption should always be evaluated in the context of total fat intake: saturated vs unsaturated. If you're consuming a lot of red meat, tallow, butter, ghee and coconut oil, and take one serving a day of this, there won't be any harm done.
Why the seemingly hefty price tag? It takes 1000kg of mature Red Reishi fruiting bodies to produce up to only 1kg of spores and over 1000kg of spores to produce just 1-3kg of Reishi Spore Oil. A bottle of Equanimity is 100% Pure Reishi Spore Oil. Nothing else is added.
Extraction method: The adoption of supercritical fluid CO2 extraction technologies has enlarged the spectrum of extracted substances due to the low temperature required during processing.
Triterpenes: 30.16%
Triterpenoids are the main active constituents of ganoderma spores and show various bioactivities for its medicinal use. As the biological activities of Ganderma spores are determined by the active ingredients contained, the levels of active ingredients vary from the origin, cultivation, acquisition time and extraction methods. Always know the lab verified Triterpene content of the supplement you are buying.
Triterpenes, which comprise a broad chemical group of active principles, are implicated in the mechanisms of action and pharmacological effects of many medicinal plants used in folk medicine against diseases in which the immune system is implicated. They have been described as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, and antitumoral agents, as well as being immunomodulator compounds. (source)
