Quercetin is a bioactive compound that is widely used in botanical medicine and traditional Chinese medicine due to its potent antioxidant activity. It is abundantly present in kales, onions, berries, apples, red grapes, broccoli, and cherries, as well as tea and red wine.

Resveratrol is a natural chemical compound found in grapes, berries, and certain nuts, and is a key active ingredient extracted from plants long used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as Polygonum cuspidatum (giant knotweed or huzhang) and is esteemed for its health benefits like vitality and longevity.

Curcumin aids in the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, and hyperlipidemia.

Calm, which is designed to bring you back down at night, is made of 250 mg of Reishi with 90% potency, and is a natural adaptogen for relaxation and deeper sleep, helping to relieve stress and fatigue. It is recommended to take 1 capsule daily, 1–2 hours before bed for sleep and stress.

Reishi mushroom, also known as Lingzhi or Ganoderma lucidum, is a widely studied macrofungus in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It contains over 400 bioactive compounds, including triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and proteins, primarily from the basidiocarp, mycelia, and spores. These components offer a broad range of pharmacological effects, such as immunomodulation, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective properties.
