Mushrooms provide an earthy and woodsy flavor profile when used for tea making. Mushroom wellness teas are carefully formulated using organic herbs and spices for quality assurance.

Nature’s Rise conducted a recent study and discovered that morning mushroom tea consumption can improve overall health and boost immunity function. Functional mushrooms have long been used for their immune-support, adrenal health, and energy benefits.

Chaga

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), commonly referred to as the “King of Mushrooms,” is a non-toxic fungal growth found on birch trees throughout Northern Europe, Siberia, Alaska and Canada. Long used for traditional medicine treatments in these regions, its health benefits have recently come into spotlight with recognition recognizing beta-glucans, antioxidants, triterpenes and polyphenols offering significant anti-aging, immune enhancing and energy boosting potential benefits of Chaga’s constituents providing benefits beyond traditional treatments alone.

Although Chaga fungus may look unpleasant (think burnt marshmallow glued to a tree), it is non-toxic and offers a pleasant tea-sipping experience. Chaga’s bitter and earthy flavors are balanced out by naturally-occurring vanillin which offers vanilla-like notes in flavor profile.

Chaga can provide antioxidant protection as well as being an excellent source of B vitamins, zinc, potassium and fiber. Chaga’s soluble fiber can also help regulate blood sugar by slowing the absorption of glucose from digestion systems. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated its beneficial role in supporting stress hormone balance by decreasing inflammation levels and helping your body adapt more easily to physical and emotional stresses.

Chaga contains high concentrations of sterols and triterpenes, making its polyphenol compounds impressive antioxidant agents. One study demonstrated this by showing how its extracts protected cells against oxidative damage by significantly reducing DNA damage caused by free radical H2O2. Furthermore, Chaga’s polysaccharides exhibit immuno-regulating activity – supporting healthy cell function while simultaneously increasing adenosine triphosphate production and decreasing oxidative stress levels.

Chaga mushrooms don’t contain immuno-regulating polysaccharides exclusively; many medicinal mushrooms also contain these immuno-modulating polysaccharides such as Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Shiitake. Although similar effects on ATP production were noted from these other mushrooms, their effectiveness at suppressing oxidative stress may not be comparable.

For optimal results, select an organic chaga supplement made from fruiting bodies for maximum bioavailability of beneficial compounds. When starting, start slowly increasing dosage until no adverse reactions arise. Also look for supplements using dual extraction methods as this optimizes antioxidant and beta glucan absorption; additionally powder or capsule forms provide added convenience and ensure consistent dosing.

Reishi

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has long been considered sacred by Chinese medicine, depicted as a symbol of health and longevity in ancient texts. Now used as an herbal supplement, Reishi has proven effective at supporting immune health while offering balance and serenity to users. Furthermore, Reishi contains beta-glucans which may help stop and prevent tumor growth while its triterpene content supports healthy blood pressure levels.

Reishi mushroom is widely recognized as an adaptogen that can support the body’s natural response to stress, including anxiety and sleep quality issues. Studies indicate it may reduce anxiety while improving sleep, increasing energy and vitality while protecting cells from oxidative damage with antioxidant properties that also offer protection from chronic fatigue symptoms.

Reishi mushrooms have long been used as part of Eastern herbalism and more recently have come under scrutiny by scientists in Western culture, showing improvements to immunity, protecting against aging, and fighting cancer. Reishi’s longstanding history and current scientific status represent a harmonious union of tradition and innovation.

Reishi mushroom stands apart from many others as being entirely nontoxic and safe for long-term use. You can take Reishi by mouth, in tea form, capsule form or tablet form; some find powders or extracts easier to mix into beverages or foods than capsules and tablets; it is recommended to start out slowly to determine your optimal dosage level.

Our Reishi Wellness Tea combines organic ashwagandha, warm cinnamon and soothing herbal honeybush for an enjoyable cup of warmth and nourishment. Reishi is also the star ingredient in Delight, our cocoa drink featuring adaptogenic ashwagandha and raw Peruvian cacao for an indulgent hot chocolate that helps calm the mind while soothing body tension – it’s the perfect way to unwind after a busy day and get your daily dose of Reishi mushroom extract!

Maitake

Maitake mushrooms boast low savory flavors that are packed with nutrients and can be enjoyed throughout the day, providing essential nutritional support and helping fight various forms of cancer. Studies have also indicated that D-fraction of Maitake can stimulate immune cells while suppressing tumor growth.

One of the primary health advantages of this mushroom is its ability to help balance blood sugar. This makes it an excellent solution for people living with diabetes or metabolic disease as it can improve insulin sensitivity and support healthy levels. Furthermore, studies conducted on animal models have also found it to lower systolic blood pressure significantly.

Maitake D-fraction contains beta-glucans which have been scientifically shown to both boost immunity and fight cancer. Research conducted has identified this compound activating immune cells known to target cancer such as macrophages and T-cells as well as decreasing tumor sizes in laboratory animals.

Maitake mushrooms can help maintain a healthy weight by supporting balanced gut microbiome balance. Their polysaccharide fibers act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial bacteria like Bacteroides and Lactobacillus acidophilus to support digestion, nutrient absorption and metabolic processes as well as feelings of satiety that prevent overeating.

Maitake mushrooms may also provide relief to women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS affects ovaries and causes irregular periods, difficulty with ovulation, and excess hair growth. According to one study conducted with maitake extract as treatment for PCOS women, 77% had successful inducing ovulation using maitake.

Maitake’s polysaccharides may help increase fertility among women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome. But before using the supplement for this purpose, always consult a healthcare provider first – any medication could interfere with its effectiveness and so it would be best not to take maitake while on any such drugs.

Shiitake

Since ancient Chinese medicine began using mushrooms as part of its treatments, mushrooms have long been recognized for their therapeutic value. Not only are these small dark brown mushrooms deliciously meaty in flavor; but their abundant nutritional benefits can boost immunity, improve brain function, and promote overall wellbeing. Now mushroom wellness teas offer an innovative way to enjoy these superfoods’ numerous health advantages.

The mushroom wellness trend is here to stay and reflects a growing interest in natural, science-backed health solutions. Mushrooms are powerful adaptogens and can reduce stress, boost immunity, increase cognitive function and improve digestion and gut health while providing antioxidant support that may reduce inflammation in the body. They can be consumed as teas, capsules and tinctures for daily wellness routines or added as an ingredient to morning coffee for added benefits.

Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) have been an integral part of Asian cuisine for over six centuries, and are now sold worldwide. Low in calories yet packed full of water-soluble fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Shiitakes also boast immunity-enhancing beta glucans as well as immunomodulatory compounds for better immunity.

Shiitake mushrooms contain guanylic acid, the key component in creating their distinctive umami flavor. By closing glutamate receptors on your tongue and producing longer and stronger umami flavor. Furthermore, these mushrooms possess anti-inflammatory properties.

Mushrooms can be an easy and delicious way to add umami flavors to your food, such as in soups and stews. Furthermore, creating a Shiitake tea provides you with a nutritious alternative to regular black or green tea beverages.
