Mushroom coffee is an intriguing new drink with claimed health benefits for immune system support, cognitive enhancement, and liver health. This beverage combines regular coffee with mushrooms in various forms: ground form, premade lattes or instant packets. Mushroom extract used in beverages typically comes from medicinal mushrooms that have been processed to increase both their taste and nutritional value, such as chaga, lion’s mane, turkey tail cordyceps or reishi. Supplemental medicinal mushrooms have long been touted for their benefits in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic practices for millennia, though most research on them is limited to test tubes or animals and hasn’t yet been proven in humans.

Coffee in this blend contains less caffeine than what would typically be found in traditional coffee and no fat or sugar is added. Mushrooms also contain adaptogens which help balance cortisol levels during stressful situations and reduce its impact.

RYZE Mushroom Coffee is an organic blend of adaptogenic mushrooms, coffee and MCT oil designed to provide an energy boost without the jitters associated with regular coffee. Each serving of RYZE Mushroom Coffee contains 48 milligrams of caffeine – half as much as in regular cups. The company recommends taking this product first thing in the morning in order to strengthen mental focus and immune function.

Though this drink’s claims of weight loss are unsupported by science, some users claim that it helps them get better restful sleep and boosts energy. According to its company, one serving provides more than an entire day’s worth of Vitamin D which supports bone health and immunity.

Though mushroom coffee should be safe for most adults, it’s wise to start slowly and monitor how your body responds. People with kidney conditions or are sensitive to grains should try other sources instead for optimal health – whole mushrooms provide optimal benefits due to high oxalates levels that could potentially contribute to kidney stones if consumed too frequently; those who experience any issues should consult a healthcare provider prior to attempting new supplements or foods, such as mushroom coffee.
