Cordyceps helps increase oxygenation for sustained energy, while Reishi and Chaga mushrooms offer relaxation and stress reduction. Furthermore, these mushrooms promote healthier gut and immune systems.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps has long been used as an adaptogen in China to increase energy levels, deepen sleep quality, strengthen kidneys, reduce fatigue and promote immunity. Furthermore, its antitumor, anti-aging, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties make it highly sought-after by pharmaceutical firms and researchers. Research indicates it increases production of Adenosine Triphosphate which boosts energy and decreases fatigue; furthermore its use has also been demonstrated to boost athletic performance by decreasing build-up of lactic acid following exercise.
Cordyceps contains polysaccharides, ophiocordin, ergosterol, balanol and sesquiterpenes that may contribute to its beneficial properties. Studies have revealed that cordyceps can reduce neuron loss from chronic stress while protecting against age-related neuronal degeneration; in addition it may even prevent memory deficits associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
Studies have demonstrated that Cordyceps can improve cellular immunity and increase phagocytic activity of macrophages, while simultaneously inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and NF-B activity and increasing CD25 expression on lymphocytes. Furthermore, Cordyceps has also been demonstrated to enhance renal tubular cells’ sodium pump activity, reduce peroxidation levels in renal tubular cells, as well as enhance iron uptake from cells.
Located primarily at high altitudes in Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan and Gansu regions of China. This powerful mushroom has long been used as a traditional remedy for lung and kidney conditions, including chronic cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, spermatorrhea and waist/knee pain. Furthermore, this powerful medicinal mushroom serves as a potent hepatoprotective agent known to inhibit liver fibrosis as well as hepatitis C while improving gastrointestinal health as it enhances digestion while being rich in iron calcium potassium and magnesium content.
Lion’s Mane
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) mushrooms provide numerous health benefits, from protecting against dementia to relieving mild depression and anxiety. Studies have also demonstrated how it may promote brain health by stimulating Nerve Growth Factor protein synthesis which protects existing neurons as well as encourages new cell formation; this effect has been linked with reduced mild cognitive impairment as well as even helping reverse damage caused by neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
Lion’s Mane also provides digestive and cardiovascular benefits. Studies have revealed its antiulcer properties by blocking H. pylori bacteria activity; furthermore it reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels while simultaneously stimulating production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin production.
These mushrooms are widely available as nutritional supplements in capsules, tablets and tinctures; but increasingly being used to add a “meaty” taste to vegan dishes. Grilling, sauteing or braising these versatile mushrooms produces hearty soups and stews without needing salty or sweet additives; plus smoothies containing them provide rich source of nutrition without adding unnecessary sodium or sugary additives to beverages such as coffee.
Lion’s Mane supplements that offer optimal performance tend to be organic, third-party tested products containing standardised amounts of active compounds. Before taking these products it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider, especially if you suffer from allergies, blood-thinning medication or pregnancy or breastfeeding – this timeframe for experiencing benefits will differ according to individual people; some may require longer than others before experiencing significant transformation.
King Trumpet
King trumpets (pleurotus eryngii) are both gourmet culinary treasures and powerful medicine. Not only can they add rich meaty textures to many dishes and make for an excellent vegetarian/vegan substitute for seafood, but these nutritional powerhouses may help regulate cholesterol, improve cognition, reduce inflammation and strengthen overall immunity.
The Regal Fungus is packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin D, potassium and selenium. Additionally, this unique mushroom provides dietary fiber which aids digestion while giving a sense of fullness after meals. Furthermore, this unique mushroom contains naturally occurring antioxidant Ergothioneine which serves as a “master antioxidant” which reduces damage caused by oxidative stress.
King trumpets can be prepared in just about any way you like for a delicious addition to any meal, making them incredibly flexible in their application. They work especially well in soups, stews, pasta and risotto dishes as well as being great when added as toppings to burgers and sandwiches for that “meaty” texture.
These mushrooms are also an excellent source of B vitamins, particularly vitamins B3 (niacin) and B5 (pantothenic acid), which play an essential role in energy metabolism and combatting fatigue and weakness. Furthermore, they’re an excellent natural source of folic acid which may support cardiovascular health.
As health-boosting mushrooms can provide essential nutrition, it’s wise to choose a reliable and verified source. Our RYZE Mushroom Matcha blend combines cordyceps, lion’s mane mushrooms, maitake, reishi and King trumpet extract powder with adaptogens, spirulina and matcha to create an immune-enhancing drink which balances hormones while simultaneously fighting inflammation.
Reishi
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), otherwise known as Ganoderma or the “divine mushroom,” is a large woody fungus found throughout Asia and has long been used in traditional medicine for its anti-aging and immunity-enhancing benefits. Reishi is considered an adaptogen; meaning it helps balance hormones in the body such as those controlling appetite, stress levels and sleep cycle.
Reishi boasts anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties. Studies have revealed its ability to decrease oxidative stress while helping support healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood clotting functions. Reishi is also believed to promote liver health by decreasing harmful biochemical reactions within its walls.
Researchers have examined Reishi for its ability to increase energy, promote relaxation, and enhance overall quality of life in those suffering from fibromyalgia. One double-blind, randomized placebo trial showed that those who took 6 grams per day for six weeks experienced greater happiness and fulfillment with their lives.
RYZE Mushroom Matcha is an adaptogenic blend made from Reishi, Lion’s Mane and King Trumpet mushrooms designed to deliver powerful adaptogenic benefits. This combination combats inflammation, oxidative stress and mental stress while supporting hormone balance – providing your body with everything it needs for healthy development and balance. Green tea provides plant-based proteins and antioxidants as an additional boost of strength – giving your body all it needs for success!
Reishi is an extremely potent nutritional supplement and should only be taken under medical guidance, particularly by those with existing health conditions or medications. Reishi may cause digestive discomfort, dizziness and skin rashes in some people. When taking any supplement medicines it’s essential that they inform their physician so they can advise of potential drug interactions and advice accordingly.
Turkey Tail
Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor) is an aquatic polypore fungus typically found in northern hemisphere trees or logs. Easily identifiable with its fan-shaped fruiting body and vibrant rainbow of hues, Chinese and indigenous people have used this mushroom for centuries to enhance health and healing.
Turkey Tail offers numerous health benefits, from stimulating immunity and metabolism to improving energy levels and endurance performance. It can even reduce stress while protecting against cognitive decline for overall healthy brain functioning.
Research shows that Turkey Tail may help prevent cancerous tumor growth and boost immunity, making it especially useful during chemotherapy treatments that suppress immunity. Furthermore, research indicates it strengthens immune response among patients suffering from liver cancer hepatocellular carcinoma.
Turkey Tail may also help with digestive issues, including decreasing gastrointestinal inflammation and maintaining overall gut bacteria balance. Researchers suspect the protein-bound polysaccharides found in Turkey Tail, such as Polysaccharide K or polysaccharopeptides (PSP), may play a key role in its immunomodulatory properties.
Turkey Tail’s immune-enhancing properties may extend to joint health in people living with arthritic conditions, helping alleviate their discomfort by increasing joint lubrication. Furthermore, Turkey Tail may help decrease swelling that causes reduced mobility – thus aiding recovery efforts overall. It can be used alongside treatments like NSAIDs for optimal joint recovery.
