Are You A Coffee Lover With an Interest in Health? Then You May Have Heard About Mushroom Coffee And Its Purported Benefits – from Immune System Support, Cognitive Enhancement and Liver Wellness? But is It Worth the Premium Price Tag?

Medicinal mushrooms include lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), chaga (Inonotus obliquus), reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and turkey tail (Cordyceps militaris). Once harvested, dried, ground and extracted for their bioactive compounds, mushrooms are combined with regular coffee grounds to create mushroom coffee – usually available as grounds, ready-brew packets or premade lattes that may even come vegan-friendly!

According to RYZE, the company behind mushroom coffee, their product is composed of sustainable ingredients sourced from California that undergo a dual extraction process that maximizes phytochemical content. Each serving provides around 48 milligrams of caffeine – half that found in regular coffee – as well as health benefits like improved focus, immunity, gut health and stress reduction.

Reishi and chaga mushrooms found in RYZE’s mushroom coffee contain polysaccharides that have been shown to have immunomodulatory effects, according to preclinical studies, while lion’s mane and turkey tail mushrooms may help reduce oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, according to their manufacturer’s website.

However, in order to experience their health benefits fully, one would need to consume an extensive daily dosage. According to research, researchers recommend getting between 500-3000mg of Reishi and Turkey Tail and 3-6 grams of Lion’s Mane mushrooms each day in order to feel their desired effects.
