Reishi mushroom has earned itself the moniker “mushroom of immortality” in Asia due to its ability to enhance immune function, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce inflammation, increase energy and promote longevity. Unfortunately, most research on Reishi mushrooms is anecdotal or conducted on Petri dishes (in vitro) rather than directly with humans; nevertheless it should be noted that they contain powerful constituents, including beta-glucans and proteoglycans which may promote cell growth, strengthen immunity systems and ward off disease.

Mushrooms are known for their adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress by relaxing muscles and improving sleep. Reishi mushrooms are frequently blended with other adaptogenic varieties like chaga and turkey tail in mushroom coffee products; some blends also include lion’s mane to enhance memory and cognitive function.

Mushroom coffee tends to contain less caffeine than traditional coffee, making it less likely to cause jitters and anxiety. Furthermore, mushroom coffee offers an effective way to cut back on caffeine consumption without experiencing its sudden ups and downs over time. Most mushroom-based blends also include adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha that may help balance hormone levels for improved sleep as well as organic or Fair Trade beans to guarantee premium ingredients while supporting local farmers.
