FreshCap Unwind Reishi Elixir Review: Calming Mushroom Instant "Tea"
Hi friends! I recently received a box of FreshCap Unwind Reishi Instant Drink Mix. I like to think of it as a tea, or as FreshCap likes to call it, an elixir. The Unwind Reishi Mix is made with “Chaga, a powerful antioxidant, as well as L-theanine and Magnesium.” Magnesium is known to have calming effects and helps your body and mind let go.
The Unwind Reishi Instant Mix came in a box of 20 satchels (20 servings). You can subscribe and save 20% or pay $37.99 for a one-time shipment. It’s easy to use. Just cut the little packet, pour into a cup, fill will 8 to 10 fl oz of hot water, and enjoy. I’m betting you can also use warm plant-based milk of choice, but don’t quote me on that because I haven’t tried it yet. (FreshCap recommends using coconut milk.)
The taste is… something you’ll get used to. Slightly minty, slightly bitter, slightly chocolatey. I’m used to flavors like these because I’ve had a lot of Chinese herbal teas and medicine throughout my childhood and teen years. Some reviewers do say the taste is too strong for them. I drank down the whole cup with no problem. You can always sweeten it with honey or add more water to dilute the taste.
Unwind Reishi is made with organic ingredients:
”Organic Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) Fruiting Body Extract, Organic Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), Fruiting Body Extract, Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, Organic Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) Flower Extract, Organic Peppermint (Mentha haplocalyx) Leaf Extract, L-theanine, Organic Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata) Extract, Organic Monk Fruit (Momordica grosvenorii) Extract.”
It is also Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Paleo.

Does it work, you ask? Yes! I’ve been meaning to write this review at night time, but after drinking a cup of the FreshCap Unwind, I’m ready to go to bed in less than 1/2 an hour. And I feel like my body melts into the bed. Every muscle is able to relax, and my brain too! Sometimes I listen to sleep hypnosis tracks to get into trance and fall asleep. That’s what it feels like after I drink this elixir; my body and brain get into a trance without hypnosis and are ready to fall asleep. I definitely recommend this product if you’re literally looking for a nightcap and something to help you relax and unwind.
FreshCap has also introduced a new mushroom coffee and a focus elixir, so check those out as well! Oh and did I get high off this mushroom elixir? Nope. Did I wake up refreshed? I slept well enough to naturally wake up an hour earlier today to finally get to write this review! So you tell me! That’s it, friends, let me know what you think and if you’ll try the Unwind Mushroom Elixir from FreshCap!
