Reishi Mushroom
Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen immunity, balance blood sugar levels, reduce toxicity levels and promote heart health, among other advantages. Reishi may help alleviate fatigue and depression by increasing energy levels; its beta-glucans content helps decrease inflammation levels as well as inhibit unwanted microbes such as bacteria viruses and fungi growth.
Reishi mushroom contains immunomodulatory compounds, such as peptidoglycans and polysaccharides that can increase white blood cell production while activating macrophages, natural killer cells, and NK cells that fight infections and cancers. Reishi also boasts powerful antioxidants which protect against free radical damage while aiding liver detox processes.
Reishi is considered an adaptogenic herb, helping the body cope with stress and maintain normal body functioning. Studies have also indicated its effectiveness at lowering high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Reishi medicinal mushrooms possess an earthy, woodsy aroma that makes it the ideal addition to tea or smoothies. Reishi comes in extract, capsule and powder forms for easy incorporation into daily herbal remedies.

Made with organic reishi fruiting body extract (10:1), organic rooibos, and natural orange peels; vegan, kosher and gluten-free; it can be stored in the refrigerator up to one week; comes complete with 16 individually wrapped tea bags.
Chaga Mushroom
Chaga mushroom, long revered for its anti-inflammatory properties, contains antioxidants and nutrients to strengthen your body’s immune system and lower risk for chronic illnesses like arthritis and heart disease. Chaga’s anti-inflammatory compounds help block production of cytokines responsible for inflammation; which in turn plays a significant role in many health issues like fibromyalgia or chronic pain conditions.
Chaga contains phenolic acids which have been shown to have an impressive impact on metabolism, helping lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, promote weight loss and satiety through its soluble fibre, while protecting against oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system.
Another key benefit of chaga mushroom is its ability to support liver health. Packed with betulin, which assists the body with detoxification processes and digestion issues like gastritis. Chaga has even been shown to balance immune systems and reduce symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Chaga offers more than immune-enhancing properties; it is also an adaptogen. These unique phytonutrients help the body adapt to stressors like extreme temperatures or infection; its beta-d-glucans have been demonstrated to lower blood sugar levels, normalise cholesterol levels, and strengthen immunity against infection.
Add chaga mushroom into your diet by drinking a tea made of hot water combined with either agave syrup or raw honey, or mixing hot water and raw honey together in a teacup. Or you could try mixing hot water, agave syrup and raw honey into smoothies or baked goods – just be sure to purchase from a sustainable distributor who harvests responsibly in order to protect the ecosystem and not overharvesting this wild fungus that can damage ecosystems. Furthermore, speak to your physician prior to beginning any supplements or herbs since some herbs and natural remedies may interact with certain medications; particularly those taking blood thinners or who suffer kidney conditions.
Cordyceps Mushroom
Cordyceps has long been used as a herbal medicine, often to combat fatigue while increasing libido and sexual drive. Furthermore, its benefits may also extend beyond physical wellness by improving exercise performance, lowering blood sugar in those living with type 2 diabetes, helping manage heart disease through its anti-inflammatory properties and even slowing cancer cell growth.
Finda Fungus was discovered by Yak herders of Tibet and has since been shown to improve cells’ oxygen intake, aiding respiratory health at high altitudes. Widely recognized as an effective respiratory tonic that can relieve bronchitis, asthma and cough symptoms; additionally it’s been linked with increasing physical endurance, immune system functionality and supporting cardiovascular health.
Cordyceps fungus’ true power lies in its ability to promote body production of ATP – energy that powers our cells and allows us to perform at our peak capacity. Cordyceps mushrooms have been shown to increase ATP levels by as much as 30%, providing natural energy boost and performance booster.
Cordyceps’ stimulating effect has propelled its rise as one of the world’s most sought-after medicinal mushrooms, drawing avid competition between practitioners in search of wild cordyceps that has not been overharvested and price tag soar — high-grade cordyceps was selling for $63,000 per pound in 2017.
Cordyceps may help boost endurance, inhibit tumor growth and regulate and balance blood lipid levels. Furthermore, studies suggest it may increase both innate and adaptive immunity.
When searching for cordyceps mushrooms, be sure to purchase pure, organic and extracted products – this will ensure your body can absorb all the beneficial compounds like hericenones and erinacines that it contains. Be wary of labels stating “micronized” or “raw”, only products labeled as extracted will contain nutrients necessary to unlock cordyceps’ full power!
Turkey Tail Mushroom
Turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor, or Coriolus versicolor) has long been used as a medicinal mushroom in China and Japan. Containing beneficial compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids, its most notable benefits stem from protein-bound polysaccharides found within it such as PSP and PSK which have numerous health advantages both to healthy individuals as well as those suffering from disease. These immune enhancing polysaccharides also come commercially isolated from turkey tail mushrooms for commercial sale – many contain beneficial immune enhancing compounds with numerous medical benefits for both healthy individuals as well as sick individuals alike.
Studies have demonstrated that PSP can have hepatoprotective properties, meaning it protects the liver. Furthermore, it promotes growth of “good” bacteria in the gut for improved digestive health and strengthened immunity. Furthermore, turkey tail is an excellent prebiotic source that can enhance other probiotics found in diet.
Other advantages of turkey tail include reduced sports fatigue and improved athletic performance, likely as a result of its ability to fight off the effects of oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Researchers have discovered that polysaccharide peptide found in turkey tail increases levels of monocyte cells which help protect us against infections and disease.
Turkey tail extract has also proven effective against cancer. Studies have demonstrated its immune-enhancing potential and as such are often combined with conventional cancer treatments to maximize results and survival rates in patients.
If you’re ready to begin including these amazing mushrooms into your daily routine, it is essential that you consult a healthcare professional in order to take the correct dose and ensure its safety for you. A typical daily dosage would range between one and three grams; this may differ based on individual needs and health goals. Powder supplements are the easiest way of taking these supplements as they can easily be mixed into smoothies or taken as capsules with hot water; you could even mix some into your coffee or tea as an incredibly tasty warm drink!
