ENERGY BOOST

An antioxidant-rich cup of coffee may be an ideal way to start the day, but adding Reishi as an ingredient to it can provide additional immunity and cognitive function benefits. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum or Lingzhi) is an ancient medicinal mushroom revered in traditional Chinese medicine for supporting cellular health, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels, relieving stress and anxiety and more. Look for products which combine fruit body with mycelial biomass produced under expert mycologist supervision for maximum benefits.

Fruity pulp that surrounds coffee beans may seem wasteful at harvest, but it can add sweetness and antioxidants to your morning beverage. A study published in June 2023 in Nutrients suggests its soluble fiber can aid digestion while giving an energy boost and helping promote regularity. Furthermore, coffee fruit may increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which may assist memory and learning processes according to one research report published at that time.

Whole coffee fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, an anti-ageing antioxidant which can improve the look and slow down aging processes. Look for products made with organic ingredients without artificial flavors or preservatives.

Consider trying a functional mushroom coffee blend containing high-grade reishi, such as Unicity’s Reishi Bean. This beverage combines premium coffee and Ganoderma lucidum extract in convenient single-serving packets for easy preparation and consumption, without experiencing the jitters associated with excessive caffeine use. Reishi is an adaptogen known to promote regular sleep cycles while simultaneously relieving stress and anxiety.

Other adaptogenic mushroom blends may include lion’s mane and cordyceps mushrooms, which contain rich sources of fatty acids and polyphenols shown to reduce inflammation, relax muscles and veins, increase energy in cells and block lipid oxidation that could contribute to high blood pressure.

HEALTH & ENERGY SUPPORT

Reishi is an effective source of anti-oxidants and contains numerous polysaccharides such as triterpenoids that promote healthy cells and an efficient immune system. When combined with coffee, Reishi creates an ideal blend to support both cell health and immunity while acting as a natural stress-buster and helping alleviate feelings of anxiety while encouraging sleep.

When selecting reishi coffee, look for one made using only top quality ingredients and undergone rigorous testing to ensure purity. A product should contain both fruit body and mycelial biomass for maximum effectiveness as well as multiple species of reishi for maximum synergistic effects. Instant versions may be available or ground into powder form then mixed with coffee before packaging in special mugs or single serving packets.

There are various varieties of reishi mushroom coffee products on the market, and most contain less caffeine than traditional coffee products. This can be helpful for people seeking energy boost from coffee without caffeine; however, if you suffer from panic disorder or anxiety it would likely be wiser to refrain from caffeine entirely.

Studies have revealed that Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma Lucidum) can aid in the reduction of inflammation by decreasing activity from an enzyme found in bloodstream that triggers it. Furthermore, these mushrooms have also shown their effectiveness at relaxing veins and arteries to lower high blood pressure.

Studies have also demonstrated the ability of reishi mushrooms to increase production of white blood cells to protect against viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. Furthermore, these mushrooms stimulate formation of immune system regulatory cells which help balance and optimize immune responses.

These adaptogenic coffee blends contain more than just reishi mushrooms; they also include herbs and superfoods such as sarsaparilla, rooibos tea, ashwagandha, turmeric and turkey tail. Pella’s mushroom coffee blend features chaga, cordyceps lion’s mane maitake reishi as well as other adaptogens and immune-boosting beta-glucans to provide a delicious yet adaptogenic alternative for an enhanced experience.

ANTI-INFECTIVE & ANTI-AGING

Coffee fruit contains anti-infective compounds naturally, while reishi can have antioxidant and immune-enhancing benefits. Together these two natural ingredients offer powerful functionality.

Reishi in coffee offers lower caffeine levels than typical cups, providing relief to those sensitive to its stimulant side effects. Reishi powder is typically ground into a fine powder before being mixed with instant or roasted coffee – most products containing reishi recommend taking 1400-5000 mg in multiple doses daily for best results.

FutureCeuticals’ product combines sugar, beverage whiteners (stabilizers E340ii and E452i, emulsifiers E472 and E472e, anti-caking agent E551), coffee powder, Reishi extract (Ganoderma Lucidum), Reishi fruit extract and flavorings into one product known as CoffeeBerry — an exclusive form of coffee fruit extract developed by its ingredient supplier FutureCeuticals – along with different production methods to see how different production methods affect chlorogenic acids and caffeine levels compared against normal values in CoffeeBerry produced with standard production methods affecting them differently.

DIETARY SUPPORT

Coffee fruit extract used in this type of beverage typically undergoes multistep extraction and purification processes. According to a 2021 study in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, this approach yields higher chlorogenic acid (CGAs) levels with lower caffeine contents compared with air-dried or freeze-dried coffee fruit powders.

Reishi mushroom in this blend is often ground into a fine powder before mixing with coffee, providing an adaptogen that helps your body manage stress, support liver function and balance blood pressure and lipid levels while providing anti-ageing, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory benefits. Reishi has also been proven to support healthy gut microbiomes that aid natural detoxification processes of the body.

Reishi should not be consumed in high doses as it can reduce clotting and cause more bleeding, making it contraindicated for those taking blood thinners or in combination with antidiabetics as it could result in dangerous drops in blood sugar levels.
