Mushroom Coffee

Mushroom coffee offers an alternative approach to traditional joe, combining familiar tastes like caffeine with functional mushrooms such as lion’s mane, chaga and reishi – commonly referred to as adaptogens that help the body cope with stress – such as lion’s mane, chaga and reishi which have been proven by animal and in vitro studies to increase focus, immune function and more.

Many brands offer instant reishi mushroom coffee in convenient sachet servings that can be easily prepared with hot water, making it perfect for those with sensitive palates or caffeine sensitivities. As this variety has less caffeine than regular instant coffee, making it suitable for those who may experience symptoms with regular instant coffee consumption.

Some mushroom coffees also include cordyceps, which has been shown to boost endurance and metabolism in animal studies. More human research needs to be completed before these effects can be confirmed; those with diabetes should avoid drinking this type of reishi coffee as it may decrease blood sugar too dramatically and interfere with their antidiabetic medication; mushrooms have long been recognized for aiding digestion and nutrient absorption.
