Though mushroom coffee may not have achieved mainstream acceptance yet, there are still many people eager to try it. And while it may be more costly than traditional coffee and its earthy taste may not suit every person, some have reported additional energy, better focus, and other health benefits from drinking it. RYZE Coffee offers an instant coffee mix that can be mixed with hot or cold liquids and has less caffeine than typical cup of brewed coffee. Their instant mix blend includes mushrooms like lion’s mane and cordyceps as well as MCT oil to mask their flavor while adding body to the drink – all organic, non-GMO, vegan and keto friendly!

Mushrooms contain beneficial compounds like beta-glucan, l-lysine and triterpenes which have antibacterial, viral, fungal and tumor inhibiting properties. Unfortunately, most people don’t enjoy eating whole mushrooms in large quantities so extracts have been created so people can reap some of these health benefits quickly and conveniently through beverages such as coffee and tea. Mushroom extracts also contain more concentrated amounts of bioactive compounds than whole mushrooms and therefore deliver their effects more rapidly to consumers.

Many individuals who have experienced RYZE’s mushroom coffee report feeling an energy boost without experiencing the typical crash that comes from traditional coffee. Some find its spicy blend and low caffeine content particularly appealing, but reviews on taste were generally mixed. Furthermore, its use of six distinct mushrooms may contribute to purported health benefits including improved focus and mental clarity, immune system function improvement, reduced stress levels, digestive support benefits as well as an energy boost.

Other companies also produce mushroom coffee, with brands like Four Sigmatic selling individual sachets of instant coffee that can be mixed with hot or cold liquids, while Laird Superfood’s focus coffee contains chaga and reishi for a creamy taste suited to lattes or iced coffee, or for those preferring traditional cups there’s Clevr’s mushroom-infused coffee, which comes in different flavors to please all palates.

Note that while RYZE and their competitors tout the health benefits of their products, not all are created equally. Proprietary blends of ingredients present unique challenges for making health claims; their small doses often don’t compare to studies that demonstrate effectiveness; some mushrooms included may have strong flavors which might not appeal to everyone – it is therefore wise to test out products first before making a commitment.
