6 Types of Organic Longevity Mushrooms
Organic longevity mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses packed with beta-glucans, triterpenes, metabolites, L-Ergothioneine, vitamin D, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, amino acids proteins and B vitamins – providing essential nutritional support. Cymbiotika’s longevity mushroom liposomal features 6 types of mushrooms with clinically proven benefits – providing a nutritional powerhouse.
Lion’s Mane (Hericenones) can support healthy brain function and could potentially help with memory problems associated with aging*. Furthermore, its natural analgesic properties may assist with managing pain without using prescription drugs*.
Shiitake Mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms have long been an integral component of Asian cuisine, and for good reason. Not only do these tasty fungi add rich umami notes to soups and stews, they’re also packed with nutrients and can provide numerous potential health benefits.
Shitake mushrooms are an excellent source of low calories, high fiber diet, B vitamins, vitamin D, polysaccharides antioxidants ergosterol and essential minerals such as copper manganese selenium.
Shiitake mushrooms contain essential nutrients to maintain a healthy weight, regulate your blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and boost your immune system to combat diseases and infections. Test-tube studies have demonstrated their antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties; plus shiitake mushrooms may reduce cardiovascular disease risk as well as promote bone health.
Shiitake mushrooms are easily accessible as fresh, canned, dried and frozen options in most grocery stores, making it simple to incorporate into your diet. When shopping for fresh shiitakes, look for ones with plump appearance free from discoloration or damage with firm texture that feels firm to touch and moist-looking gills that feel moist to touch; any sliminess to the touch indicates they may have gone off and may indicate they’ve started spoiling. When cooking with shiitakes it is best to add them towards the end of cooking process as overcooking can occur otherwise. Used in pasta dishes vegetable dishes ragouts and omelets; or eaten alone as side dish they make great side dish!
Chaga Mushrooms
Chaga mushrooms, like their close relative reishi mushrooms, are widely utilized to promote immune health and boost overall wellbeing. Renowned for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects due to betulinic acid and other polyphenols found within them, chaga also boasts melanin flavonoids which provide protection from DNA damage caused by UV radiation as well as improving skin health overall.
Chaga mushrooms have long been thought to play an essential part in cell communication and the immune response. One study demonstrated chaga extract’s potent antiviral and antibacterial properties against Hepatitis C virus infections.
Chaga mushroom benefits can include stimulating hematopoiesis and bone marrow function due to its natural exposure to harsh environmental conditions. Chaga also contains various lipids such as betulinic acid and ergosterols which are said to strengthen immunity response while increasing cell protection.
Chaga can help improve energy levels. Beta-D-glucans present in chaga can regulate blood sugar and decrease lactate production during high intensity exercise, helping prevent muscle fatigue.
Chaga can boost immune health due to the polysaccharides it contains, such as syringic acid, inotodiol, lupeol, mycosterol and betulin. Studies have demonstrated that these polysaccharides regulate activity among white blood cells as well as modulating natural killer cell activity and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), helping maintain equilibrium while supporting overall homeostasis and maintaining balance within our immune systems.
Reishi Mushrooms
Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been recognized for their potential anti-aging and rejuvenating benefits, including immune support, stress reduction, improved sleep quality, and even longevity promotion. Reishi is often called the “mushroom of immortality.”
Reishi mushroom benefits include its ability to increase natural killer cells that attack cancerous cells and produce cytokines that reduce inflammation in the body. Furthermore, Reishi mushrooms contain naturally antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties which make them an invaluable addition to any diet for boosting immunity.
Reishi mushrooms, commonly found throughout Asia, Europe and North America’s temperate forests. Starting out white and developing red or orange sheen as they age – earning the name “varnished conk”. Reishi contains bacteria which produce spores which are dispersed into the air when it’s time for reproduction.
Reishi has been demonstrated in clinical trials to have anti-tumor and immunostimulatory properties. Furthermore, Reishi may provide hepatoprotective action and support cardiovascular system function while helping relieve symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome. Reishi is composed of over 400 bioactive compounds including polysaccharides and triterpenoids which contribute to its health-promoting qualities.
Reishi mushroom should become part of your daily routine by including it either in extract or powdered form or as skincare products such as masks, creams, or serums. To maximize effectiveness always adhere to recommended dosage guidelines; and be sure to speak to a medical provider first if taking Reishi if your blood pressure drops suddenly while using medication for it; additionally it’s wise to avoid Reishi during pregnancy and breastfeeding for best results.
Cordyceps Mushrooms
Cordyceps mushroom genus grows on certain caterpillars and infects them by penetrating their exoskeleton and living within its tissues, before eventually producing fruiting bodies that release spores when their host dies – often known as zombie fungus due to their behavior as zombies when infected by it. Studies have revealed anti-aging benefits associated with cordyceps including reduced oxidative stress levels and inhibition of cell apoptosis; also stimulating neurite growth; increasing dopamine release; and increasing neuronal plasticity among others.
Cordymin, extracted from fungi, is an all-natural glucosamine with anti-oxidative and pro-oxidative transcription factor pathways activated. Additionally, its inhibiting power allows mitochondrial biogenesis. As such, cordymin makes for an excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
Fungus is widely cultivated and used as a supplement in laboratories, though it can also be found growing wild and harvested from its fruiting body. An important medicinal herb in China and Japan, it is widely employed for treating lung disorders, chronic bronchitis, kidney problems, nighttime urinary tract issues, anemia, autoimmune diseases, erectile dysfunction insomnia ringing in ears low energy levels high cholesterol among others.
Cordyceps possesses both immune-enhancing and tumoricidal effects, with its cytotoxic activity demonstrated against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, meth-A fibrosarcoma, B16 melanoma cells in vitro as well as MCF-7, Prostate (HepG2) Hepatic Cancer Cell Lines, Colorectal (HT-29) cells in culture media; in mice reverse Taxol-induced leukopenia as well as inhibit melanoma growth.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract contains polyphenols from green tea leaves that contain epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an effective antioxidant which protects cells against oxidative stress. Furthermore, this nutrient can improve metabolic function, support cardiovascular health and fight cancer.
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum or lingzhi) is an immune enhancing polypore medicinal mushroom with many health-giving benefits. These include strengthening immunity, inhibiting tumor growth, lowering cholesterol levels and relieving anxiety or depression symptoms. Furthermore, Reishi can boost energy, stamina endurance support lung capacity as well as aid digestion.
