Genuine Health Deep Sleep with Organic Reishi Mushroom (60 Capsules)

Genuine Health Deep Sleep with Organic Reishi Mushroom is a 60-capsule night-time formula that pairs organic reishi with L-theanine, GABA, magnesium and 1.5 mg of melatonin. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep in people who fall asleep slowly. The adult dose is 1 to 2 capsules once a day, at or before bedtime.

What Deep Sleep is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80109924, printed on the front of the bottle. The licence also lists:

• Helps increase the total sleep time in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule (e.g. shift-work and jet lag).
• Helps re-set the body's sleep-wake cycle.
• Helps to temporarily promote relaxation.
• Source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.
• Helps to maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle.
• Helps in tissue formation.

What is in each capsule

Each vegan capsule holds five ingredients. The reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a 100 mg whole mushroom powder made from both the cultured mycelium and the fruiting body, so the part that grows below ground and the cap above it are both used. Genuine Health sources it as a dehydrated powder grown in California that is USDA organic, kosher, Non-GMO Project certified and gluten-free.

Next to the reishi sit 100 mg of L-theanine, an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, and 50 mg of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). Magnesium is present at 50 mg as magnesium glycinate, a chelated form bound to the amino acid glycine. The last ingredient is melatonin at 1.5 mg, a modest amount next to the 3 mg and 5 mg products found on most shelves.

The capsule shell is hypromellose, a plant-based material, and the only other non-medicinal ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate. There are no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

How to take it

Adults take 1 to 2 capsules once a day, at or before bedtime. Speak with a health care practitioner before using it for longer than 4 weeks. Because it contains melatonin, the label asks you not to drive or use machinery for 5 hours after a dose and to avoid alcohol or other products that cause drowsiness. It is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The full cautions are listed under How to Take.

Who it suits

Adults who prefer a lower melatonin amount inside a combined capsule, shift workers and frequent flyers whose schedules keep moving, and anyone who wants a vegan, gluten-free capsule rather than a powder or gummy. A bottle of 60 lasts one to two months depending on the dose.
