Can I Add Reishi Mushroom Powder to My Coffee?
Reishi mushroom powder adds an antioxidant boost to coffee that can strengthen immunity, increase energy levels and help fight infections. Mushrooms are well known to increase immunity while simultaneously decreasing inflammation to make body function more effectively and counteract free radicals which damage cells causing chronic diseases.
Mushroom powders such as Reishi contain complex B vitamins such as Niacin and Riboflavin, along with high fiber levels that may aid in intestinal health and the digestion of fats. Mushrooms have also been used to treat conditions including: aging; strengthening immunity; treating viral or bacterial infections such as Cold, Swine Flu, Herpes; altitude sickness; symptoms related to Fibromyalgia (a chronic rheumatic condition causing muscle and joint pain); fatigue etc.
Many people opt to add mushroom powder to their coffee because they believe it can boost energy, improve concentration and help prevent illness. They may also be intrigued by reishi’s spiritual properties – which include calmness, centerness, balance and inner strength as well as protecting mind body spirit.
When making mushroom coffee, using the appropriate ingredients is key for producing optimal results. For instance, to ensure optimal outcomes it’s wiser to opt for a combination of mushroom extracts rather than one type alone as each may offer distinct nutritional benefits such as chaga mushrooms can counteract acidity while maitake mushroom powder may help regulate blood sugar levels. Also avoid hot water as heat may damage some beneficial properties and nullify results altogether.
