mushroom mix

Our blend of five powerful organic mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi, Chaga and Cordyceps. Add a 1/2 teaspoon to your favorite coffee, tea or smoothie.

_________

Each mushroom offers unique bioactive compounds that target different systems in the body—Lion’s Mane for brain health, Turkey Tail for immune modulation, Reishi for stress and immunity, Chaga for antioxidant defense, and Cordyceps for energy and endurance. Here’s a deeper look at how and why they work:

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)

Main compounds: Hericenones and Erinacines

• Stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), which supports the growth and repair of neurons
• Shown to improve cognitive function and memory in small human trials
• May reduce anxiety and depression by supporting hippocampal function and reducing inflammation
• Potential to aid nerve regeneration after injury

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)

Main compounds: Polysaccharide-K (PSK) and Polysaccharopeptide (PSP)

• PSK and PSP are protein-bound beta-glucans that activate immune cells like NK cells and macrophages
• Used in Japan as adjuvant cancer therapy to improve outcomes and reduce side effects
• Acts as a prebiotic, promoting beneficial gut bacteria and supporting digestive health
• Rich in antioxidants like ergothioneine and phenolic compounds that reduce oxidative stress

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Main compounds: Triterpenoids, Beta-glucans, Polysaccharides

• Modulates white blood cell activity, enhancing immune response
• Triterpenoids have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, shown to inhibit tumor growth in lab studies
• May reduce fatigue and depression, especially in people with chronic illness
• Supports heart health by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)

Main compounds: Betulinic acid, Melanin, Triterpenes, Polysaccharides

• Extremely high in antioxidants, especially melanin and polyphenols, which protect against oxidative stress
• Stimulates cytokine production, enhancing immune defense and reducing inflammation
• Shown to slow tumor growth in animal studies, especially liver and breast cancer models
• May help lower blood sugar and cholesterol, supporting metabolic health

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris / sinensis)

Main compounds: Cordycepin, Adenosine, Polysaccharides

• Boosts ATP production, improving oxygen utilization and endurance during exercise
• Cordycepin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, supporting recovery and cellular health
• Shown to lower blood sugar and cholesterol in animal studies
• May support immune function and protect against age-related decline
