Mushrooms are not only rich sources of antioxidants; they also possess antibacterial and antifungal properties. Studies have even indicated they can help balance gut microbiomes – as reported in 2021 by Molecular Nutrition and Food Research. Reishi, turkey tail and cordyceps–commonly found in mushroom coffee–may be effective against infections and inflammation disorders according to evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine studies in 2022.

Most mushroom coffee products on the market contain a blend of medicinal mushrooms such as chaga, shiitake, reishi and turkey tail. In addition, additional ingredients may include agave nectar, cinnamon or maca.

Mushroom coffee offers less caffeine than its espresso- or black-based counterparts, so it is an ideal option for those with sensitive stomachs. Furthermore, mushrooms provide beneficial properties which help make digestion simpler.

Laird Superfood stands out as an industry leader when it comes to mushroom coffees, offering both dark roast chaga and light roast reishi options crafted from organic fair trade coffee and combined with mushrooms, reishi extract, and inulin as prebiotics that feed beneficial bacteria within your digestive system.
