Mushroom coffee is a combination of roasted coffee, mushroom powder and other herbs, often mixed with medium chain triglycerides oil (C8 MCT). Mushrooms used in these beverages often come from species like Chaga Reishi Lion’s Mane Turkey Tail or Cordyceps; all known to help regulate stress while providing antioxidant benefits.

One reason mushrooms make an excellent addition to coffee is due to being less acidic than regular varieties, making it easier on your stomach and potentially helping those suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease or digestive issues.

Mushroom coffee may contain lower caffeine levels than standard coffee, making it an attractive alternative for those trying to limit stimulants. Furthermore, its gradual release provides longer-term energy than caffeine’s short bursts that lead to jitteriness or fatigue.

Reishi and chaga mushrooms in these blends have long been touted for their immune-enhancing benefits, with evidence supporting this claim. Reishi may help increase white blood cell activity to support an effective response against infections or chronic illnesses while their adaptogen properties help manage stress effectively, improving sleep quality and encouraging emotional balance.

When purchasing mushroom coffee, ensure it has been third-party tested and is free from fillers, additives, GMOs and fillers. Furthermore, be sure to select versions where the mushrooms come from fruiting bodies rather than mycelium which could contain different compounds than actual mushrooms themselves.
