How Long Does Mushroom Tea Stay in Your Body?
Mushroom tea has become increasingly popular due to its ability to boost immune health, enhance focus and decrease stress levels. While mushroom varieties such as dried powder or capsules offer similar benefits, brewing mushroom tea provides the easiest and fastest route for unlocking their functional benefits. When taken as tea or in other forms, effects vary depending on factors like dosage, way of ingestion and individual factors like age, metabolism and overall health status of individuals who consume the mushrooms.
Mushrooms, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, contain the hallucinogenic compound psilocybin which can be broken down by the body into its metabolite psilocin – its half-life is three hours which means it usually takes around that much time for all the drug to leave your system after ingestion. However, this duration varies based on frequency of use, body mass index and metabolism – even those who have an increased tolerance or dependence may take longer than new users to rid themselves of the drug entirely from their bodies.
Shrooms’ effects typically last several hours to several days post-ingestion, and can have an immediate or delayed impact on one’s mood, perception, and thoughts. A “comedown” often occurs following ingestion, with symptoms including fatigue, depression and anxiety being common as a result of reduced brain serotonin levels – this process is all part of its natural cycle.
No matter how quickly mushrooms work on one’s system, it is still prudent to exercise caution when taking mushrooms. Purchase from a reliable dealer and store accordingly to prevent contamination with harmful bacteria that could linger for days after one dose has passed through one’s digestive system – something which sporadic or heavy mushroom use could result in. Overexposure could result in serious health complications for anyone involved.
Though the effects of mushrooms can be positive, it is essential to remember they should not be seen as a replacement for prescribed medication. Certain species can interact negatively with blood-thinning drugs and interfere with insulin use for some individuals; those living with an autoimmune disease such as Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis must also exercise caution when it comes to eating mushrooms.
