Reishi coffee is a blend of traditional coffee with extracts of medicinal mushrooms such as chaga, reishi and cordyceps – known as adaptogenics – which help the body cope with stress by balancing moods. They may also improve sleep quality and support immune function; Reishi has even been proven effective at treating chronic fatigue by stimulating certain white blood cells that target abnormal cells like cancerous tumors.

Reishi mushroom is revered in Eastern herbal medicine as the “Mushroom of Immortality.” Used traditionally to promote relaxation and immune support, Reishi may provide assistance for anxiety or sleep disturbances as well as increase energy, boost immune support and even protect liver health.

Reishi benefits stem from beta-glucans found in mushrooms, which help stimulate certain white blood cells that attack abnormal cells such as tumors. Furthermore, withanolides support the endocrine system by decreasing inflammation while acting as antioxidants.

Mushroom coffee often contains less caffeine than its coffee counterpart, thereby providing relief to individuals sensitive to caffeine consumption and supporting more restful nights’ rest. Many brands of mushroom coffee also include adaptogenic herbs with potential antioxidant and stress-reducer properties like Ashwagandha which is commonly included as part of their ingredients.

Medicinal mushrooms have not been carefully studied during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it’s best to speak to your healthcare provider before taking them. Reishi may interfere with certain medications (blood thinners and anticoagulants).
