Can Reishi Cold Brew Coffee Improve Gut Health?
Mushroom coffee is a blend of ground coffee and extracts from medicinal mushrooms that provides the focus and warmth associated with coffee while supplementing it with medicinal compounds to support gut health. Common types of mushrooms used in mushroom coffee are lion’s mane, cordyceps and reishi. Mushroom coffee typically contains half the caffeine found in regular coffee but should still be considered safe for most individuals; it’s best to consult your healthcare practitioner first before adding this drink into your daily routine.

Studies have demonstrated how Reishi can help balance energy levels, promote restful sleep and increase vitality while acting as an anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antihypertensive. Furthermore, Reishi is an incredible antioxidant with potency anticancer properties.
