Can I take Reishi and Royal sun together?

Why this happens

These mushrooms have 'additive' effects. This means they work in similar ways to slow down blood clotting and improve how the body handles sugar. When combined, these effects can become much stronger than intended.

What you should do

It is usually fine to take these together, but you should monitor yourself for signs of low blood sugar (such as feeling shaky, sweaty, or dizzy) and watch for unusual bruising or bleeding. If you are scheduled for surgery or are taking prescribed blood thinners or diabetes medication, speak to your doctor before combining these supplements.
