Reishi is an awesome adaptogen. Check out "znaturals foods" great descriptions.
My shake taste terrible but I don't care...lol I created it because there is always a herb or fruit du jour that is the best. I looked across all superfoods and took the best of the best instead of just one item this month then trying something next month. My goal was to achieve the combined benefit of all the elements. For example, the Hunza tribe and apricot seeds = no cancer. What I was able to do was to look at all known items and combine them. This is the first time in history we could ever do that. I can literally reach anywhere in the world and get the best of the best. :) The Hunza might have had apricots but not Reishi. Sorry, a longer answer than you were looking for I think :)
