RYZE Mushroom Coffee Ingredients
RYZE Mushroom Coffee combines organic shade-grown Arabica coffee with six medicinal mushrooms known for their health benefits, from cognitive enhancement to immunity support.
This method produces a low-caffeine coffee drink that promotes clean, sustainable energy and focus, while the mushrooms help soothe digestive distress during exercise and reduce subsequent heartburn episodes.
Cordyceps Mushroom
Cordyceps Mushrooms are among the most powerful mushrooms known to mankind. But they’re also somewhat strange; parasitic fungus that infiltrates insect larvae as hosts for itself. When this process completes itself, its mycelium matures into a blade-shaped fruiting body and releases its spores – creating the “caterpillar”-like appearance seen when looking at cordyceps mushrooms.
Studies have demonstrated the ability of natural cordyceps to induce apoptosis in various cancer cells, including breast, colon and leukemia cells. Furthermore, additional studies suggest cordyceps can prevent neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases by supporting cell regeneration and increasing levels of antioxidants in their bodies.
This mushroom is well known for its energy-boosting and sexual health-promoting benefits, serving both men and women equally. Additionally, studies have demonstrated its efficacy at increasing sexual libido, helping with low testosterone levels, poor sperm motility and male infertility issues.
Cordyceps species can be found worldwide in tropical and temperate climates; however, only certain strains can be grown commercially for supplementation purposes. Of the many Cordyceps varieties found worldwide, Cordyceps militaris is commonly referred to as caterpillar fungus due to its ease of cultivation at scale on multiple hosts.
C. militaris has also been shown to possess antioxidant activity, protecting lipids and proteins from oxidation. Both water and ethanol extracts of C. militaris have shown superior radical scavenging activity than cultured C. sinensis (Chen et al., 2010). Furthermore, fermented mycelia and broth of C. militaris had antihyperglycemic activity against diabetic rats induced with nicotinamide or streptozotocin (Lo et al. 2004).
Lion’s Mane Mushroom
The lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible variety found worldwide, typically at tree bases. Not only are its tastes delightful and nutritious properties unsurpassed by any other food source – but its health benefits may even rival them!
Mushrooms can help heal digestive issues, boost immune functions and enhance cognitive abilities such as memory, focus and concentration. Lion’s mane mushrooms contain compounds called hericenin and NDPIH that may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), which promotes neural growth within your brain.
As it’s important to remember, mushrooms should not be seen as a magic bullet and used alongside other health supplements and treatments for optimal results. Studies indicate lion’s mane may help treat spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries but is currently not an effective solution against Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
There are various ways to cook with lion’s mane mushrooms, and this simple side dish recipe is an easy and delicious way to include them into your diet. With only minimal ingredients required and simple steps required for preparation, these succulent mushrooms will make for a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal!
For those who would rather leave the mushrooms to someone else, there are several dietary supplement products with lion’s mane extract that provide you with their benefits without cooking with them. Both capsules and powder products contain mushrooms with beta glucan content – proven to support immunity – while being protected from starchy fillers like grain that could reduce health benefits to your body.
Turkey Tail Mushroom
Turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) are captivating fungi renowned for both their aesthetic appeal and healing powers. Found worldwide and utilized widely within traditional medicine practices as well as modern research practices, turkey tail mushrooms offer many health-promoting properties for holistic wellbeing.
The mushroom is well known for its immune-supportive beta glucans, long used by Traditional Chinese Medicine to regulate lung and body fluid regulation. Recent research on this mushroom shows it also activates key types of immune cells to fight off viruses as well as abnormal cell growth including cancerous tumors. Furthermore, it helps improve chemotherapy’s effectiveness by counteracting immunosuppression.
Turkey tail mushrooms not only offer immune support, but they can also improve gut health with PSP compounds that act as prebiotics. PSP promotes and encourages the growth of good bacteria that contribute to stronger immunity systems.
Turkey Tail mushroom ingredients combined with other adaptogenic herbs provide the optimal combination for maintaining both an invigorated mind and strong body. Our blend includes Cordyceps for energy enhancement effects, Lion’s Mane for brain health and cognitive enhancement, Shiitake and King Trumpet mushrooms with immune-enhancing properties as well as Reishi to promote good quality sleep and reduce stress levels. Each ingredient possesses unique properties, yet combined they form the ultimate functional mushroom blend. At RYZE mushroom coffee, we combine these benefits in one smooth and creamy cup to deliver calmer energy and improved focus without the caffeine crash. No extra equipment or blender are required – plus our formula is vegan- and gluten-free. RYZE mushroom coffee can be found both online and at select retail outlets nationwide.
Shiitake Mushroom
Due to their distinctive flavor and versatility, oyster mushrooms have become a go-to ingredient at Panda Express for sauteing with kale and chicken (via Eater). You’ll also find them used in vegetarian soup broths or veggie burgers. Available both fresh or dried form, these mushrooms add depth of umami flavor in any dish they are added too.
If using dried varieties of shiitake mushrooms, they must first be soaked before they can be softened and enhanced in flavor. Begin by rinsing them with cold water before covering with boiling water for two days of infusing; save the soaking liquid as this can be used later to flavor broths and other dishes. When the mushrooms have softened enough, slice and add to soups or recipes!
Shiitake mushrooms contain compounds known to combat anti-ageing and increase energy levels while aiding weight loss. Furthermore, these mushrooms are packed with b-glucan – a type of soluble dietary fiber known to increase satiety while decreasing food intake and speed up nutrition absorption – as well as anti-inflammatory properties.
RYZE’s functional mushroom coffee blend is an irresistibly delectable and healthy way to start the day, boasting minimal caffeine levels and packed full of nutritional mushrooms that promote calmer focus, no jitters, sustained energy without crash and immune support, gut health and digestive comfort.
Reishi, turkey tail and maitake mushrooms have proven themselves highly effective against cancer, inflammation, fatigue and other health conditions. Furthermore, these mushrooms have also been known to boost stamina, immunity and blood circulation while providing anti-ageing and antibacterial benefits.
King Trumpet Mushroom
Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms (king trumpet mushrooms) have long been prized members of the oyster mushroom family due to their meaty texture and umami flavor, earning it its common names “eryngii or French Horn mushrooms.” Chefs throughout the world often favor these delicious culinary tools due to their culinary versatility – their thick stems and short gills provide firm meaty consistency which is ideal for use in a range of recipes.
King trumpets have become an increasingly popular seafood alternative in Chinese and Japanese cuisines, often being marinated with honey, mirin, and soy sauce for an irresistibly flavorful main dish. Furthermore, this majestic ingredient can even add flair to vegan meals, making it an excellent option for anyone following either a gluten-free diet or ketogenic eating plan.
King trumpet mushrooms offer more than their incredible taste: they also boast abundant health-supportive nutrients. Naturally occurring antioxidants, such as L-ergothioneine and beta glucans, help reduce oxidative stress and support immune system functioning while selenium acts as a powerful shield against cell damage caused by free radicals.
This Roasted King Trumpet Mushroom recipe highlights the delicate flavors of these unique mushrooms. Simply clean, trim, and brush the mushrooms with olive oil mixed with thyme and rosemary before baking for 15 minutes on a baking sheet before topping with salt and black pepper according to taste.
This delicious dish takes the classic Venetian cuisine and creates an updated version, replacing raw beef with delicious king trumpet mushrooms cooked in butter and combined with garlic, lemon juice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, fresh herbs and chili peppers for an exceptional dish sure to become the star of any meal! It will surely become the main attraction!
