What are triterpenes and beta-glucans?

Triterpenes (specifically ganoderic acids) and beta-glucan polysaccharides are the two primary bioactive compound classes found in Reishi mushroom. Beta-glucans are water-soluble and extracted via hot water; triterpenes are alcohol-soluble and preserved through ethanol extraction. The dual extract format delivers both.

What is a 10:1 dual extract?

A 10:1 extraction ratio means 10kg of raw Reishi fruiting body is concentrated to 1kg of finished extract. Dual extraction uses both hot water and ethanol to preserve the complete bioactive profile — both beta-glucans and triterpenes — in a single concentrated powder.

Why is the Cacao Latte positioned as an evening drink?

The Mushroom Cacao Latte is completely caffeine-free, making it suitable as an evening alternative to coffee or hot chocolate. Reishi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an evening tonic. Combined with organic raw cacao and rose petal, it makes a grounding, warming drink for the end of the day.

TEELIXIR ORGANIC MUSHROOM CACAO LATTE (WITH REISHI & ROSE)

A luxurious, caffeine-free evening latte blend that combines premium organic cacao with Reishi mushroom and organic rose. Teelixir's Mushroom Cacao Latte is designed as an indulgent hot chocolate experience with the traditional calming qualities of Reishi — the "Mushroom of Immortality" — and the delicate floral notes of rose.

The Reishi mushroom in this blend is a 10:1 dual extract from 100% fruiting bodies, bringing its characteristic triterpenes and beta-glucan polysaccharides. Combined with magnesium-rich cacao and fragrant rose, this blend delivers a deeply satisfying drink that's perfect for evening rituals.

All ingredients are certified organic. No caffeine, no sugar added, no artificial flavours. Third-party tested for purity and heavy metals.

THE HERITAGE

This blend draws on three ancient traditions: Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years as the "Herb of Spiritual Potency." Cacao (Theobroma cacao — literally "food of the gods") was consumed as a ceremonial drink in Mesoamerica for millennia. Rose has been used in traditional Persian, Chinese, and Ayurvedic preparations for centuries. Teelixir unites these three traditions in a single, calming evening blend.

HOW TO ENJOY

Serving suggestion: 2 teaspoons (approximately 6g) mixed with hot water or your preferred milk.

Evening hot chocolate — mix 2 tsp with warm milk for a rich, calming bedtime drink
Classic latte — mix with hot water, top with frothed oat or coconut milk
Iced cacao latte — blend with plant milk, ice, and a touch of honey
Dessert drink — add to warm milk with a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla
Smoothie — blend with frozen banana, almond butter, and plant milk

Mix or froth well for a creamy result. The blend has a rich, chocolatey flavour with subtle floral notes from the rose.

The Science

Each serve of the Mushroom Cacao Latte delivers 0.88g of Reishi 10:1 dual extract — equivalent to approximately 8.8g of raw Reishi fruiting body. Two serves daily provides 1.76g of extract, within the range explored in human studies.

Key bioactive compounds: Triterpenes (ganoderic acids A, C, D, F), beta-glucan polysaccharides.

Vlassopoulou et al. 2021 (PMID 33876798): Systematic review of 34 randomised controlled trials on fungal beta-glucans. Found consistent improvements in immune markers, reduced incidence and severity of respiratory infections, and improvements in wellbeing across studies. No adverse events recorded.
Collado Mateo et al. 2015 (PMID 26545669): RCT using 6g Reishi per day — equivalent to approximately 0.6g of 10:1 extract, below the Teelixir per-serve dose. Improvements in aerobic endurance measures observed vs placebo.
Mechanism: Beta-glucans activate immune cells (macrophages, NK cells, dendritic cells) via dectin-1 receptor signalling. Triterpenes (ganoderic acids) are alcohol-soluble compounds studied for their anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective properties. Dual extraction preserves both compound classes.

Ganoderma lucidum has been documented in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years as a tonic for longevity and vitality — one of the most extensively studied medicinal mushrooms in the world.
