Can Reishi Cold Brew Coffee Improve Gut Health?
If you have a sensitive gut, cold brew coffee may be better suited for you than its acidic predecessors such as drip coffee and espresso. Cold brew is naturally less acidic and could even provide additional digestive health benefits; in addition to trying this alternative option you could switch to decaf coffee with less caffeine; these options also tend to be less acidic. According to Brittany Werner MS RDN of Working Against Gravity’s wellness platform where they teach people healthy food practices: “Coffee can stimulate acid production in the stomach,” she states.
Reishi mushroom coffee offers multiple health advantages. Reishi is thought to help increase energy levels, enhance cognitive functions and promote better sleep quality while simultaneously helping regulate blood sugar and triglyceride levels as well as decrease inflammation.
Mushroom coffee typically combines coffee beans with functional mushrooms such as Chaga for immunity-enhancing benefits, Lion’s Mane for brain health and mental clarity support, Cordyceps for energy boosts, Shiitake for digestion support, Turkey Tail detoxification support and Reishi for its immune-enhancing qualities.
Many brands also incorporate herbs and natural ingredients such as inulin, which promotes good bacteria in your gut, into their products. MCT oil may also help, with research showing it does not increase cholesterol or triglycerides but may even lower them!
