Mushroom Coffee and Reishi Powder
Mushroom coffee combines medicinal mushrooms and caffeine for an energizing drink said to reduce stress, improve focus, bolster immune function, support weight loss, and more. Some mushroom coffee recipes include MCT oil, stevia and cacao for additional flavor and health benefits – often having less caffeine than traditional brews and making an ideal option for those struggling with caffeine sensitivities or seeking to limit their coffee consumption.
Reishi powder is an adaptogenic herb known for balancing hormones, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, and increasing immunity. Reishi spore powder also may assist with weight loss by helping regulate your blood sugar and aiding your body in burning off fat more effectively.
What to Look For in a Good Mushroom Coffee mes When selecting a reishi coffee, ensure it uses whole-mushroom powder rather than only mycelium reishi supplements; these have significantly less immuno-modulating triterpenes and beta glucans to offer you. A high-quality supplement will use fruiting bodies instead, which contain even more of these powerful immune-stimulants than mycelium alone.
The highest-quality mushroom coffees will be organic and fair trade certified, contain no artificial sweeteners and boast a low glycemic index. Furthermore, they may include other beneficial herbs or spices with anti-inflammatory, antiviral or antioxidant properties; medium chain triglycerides may be added – these healthy fats won’t raise cholesterol levels!
