Functional mushrooms are gaining popularity for their myriad benefits. Traditionally thought of as immune supporters and stress-busting adaptogens, they are now looked to for everything from your metabolic health to your mood and beyond.
- Agaricus blazei delivers high levels of beta-glucans which help maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range, offer prebiotic benefits for digestive regularity, and also function as immuno-modulators that help boost your natural defenses1
- Chaga mushroom is rich in antioxidants to neutralize free radicals, protecting cells and tissues throughout the body for healthy aging, and may also support metabolic health2
- Cordyceps are famed for longevity support thanks to their high antioxidant content; they are also popular for boosting energy and athletic endurance by promoting oxygen absorption and synthesis of ATP, the body’s source of cellular energy3
- Lion’s Mane has been used for millennia to encourage cognitive function and nerve cell health; modern studies focus on its neuroprotective and nootropic benefits for mood and brain health4
- Maitake mushrooms have traditionally been used to help maintain blood sugar levels already within the normal range; as a source of fiber they contribute to heart health and weight management5
- Reishi is a treasured adaptogen, helping to promote optimal cortisol balance, encourage relaxation and support sleep quality; traditional health practices used reishi for liver health6
- Shiitake mushrooms are rich in polysaccharides and beta-glucans that help maintain healthy cholesterol for heart and metabolic wellness, boost gut health for a thriving microbiome, and also defend against free radicals7
