Lughnasadh is formulated to support nourishment, resilience, and grounded recovery, combining ingredients studied for their roles in immune balance, metabolic stability, and nervous system restoration following periods of sustained growth and exertion.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
Shiitake is a well-studied functional mushroom rich in beta-glucans and polysaccharides that support immune balance, metabolic efficiency, and physical resilience. Research shows these compounds play a key role in immune signalling and cellular repair, helping the body maintain strength under sustained demand.
Shiitake also contains eritadenine, a compound associated in studies with lipid metabolism and cardiovascular support, contributing to long-term nourishment rather than short-term stimulation.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Reishi is widely researched for its role in stress regulation, immune modulation, and nervous system balance. Its bioactive compounds — particularly triterpenes and beta-glucans — have been shown to help regulate inflammatory response and support the body’s ability to recover from prolonged physical and emotional stress.
Rather than providing energy, Reishi supports restoration and resilience, making it especially relevant during periods of consolidation and recovery.
Milky Oat Tops (Avena sativa)
Milky Oat Tops are a traditional nervous system tonic supported by modern research for their role in supporting stress recovery, emotional steadiness, and nervous system nourishment. They are rich in avenanthramides and trace minerals, compounds associated with calming neural activity and replenishing depleted systems.
Milky Oat Tops are particularly valued for long-term nervous system support, helping restore balance after periods of sustained effort or stress.
Why extraction matters
Many of the key compounds in Shiitake and Reishi are not well absorbed in raw or powdered form. A 1:3 double extraction ensures:
-
hot-water extraction of beta-glucans and polysaccharides
-
alcohol extraction of triterpenes and other bioactives
-
improved bioavailability and consistency
Functional role
Lughnasadh is formulated to support nourishment, resilience, and grounded recovery, reflecting the physiological need to replenish strength and stabilise the nervous system following periods of growth and exertion.
