Can I Add Reishi Mushroom Powder to My Coffee?
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom is widely recognized for its health-boosting properties and is popularly used as a nutritional supplement. You’ll often see it sold in powders, capsules, tea and coffee forms; specifically as “reishi coffee”. In stores or online shops you may have come across this variety that combines an extract from this fungus with ground beans or as special pods with this special feature.
Reishi-coffee blends contain significantly less caffeine than traditional coffee, helping you reach a more steady energy level without the spikes and crashes associated with conventional java. Reishi is an adaptogen which aids your body to cope with stress by encouraging balance and relaxation; its mood-boosting qualities may help prevent chronic fatigue symptoms to keep you focused during your day.
Reishi may contain anti-inflammatory properties that could reduce pain associated with fibromyalgia, rheumatism and osteoarthritis. Reishi may also stimulate white blood cells that target abnormal cells like cancerous ones.
Reishi mushrooms have long been recognized for their healing and energy-enhancing properties, so adding it to your morning brew could help increase energy levels and lessen fatigue throughout the day*.
When purchasing reishi mushroom supplements, it is crucial that they have been double-extracted – this process separates water-soluble compounds from insoluble ones so you get maximum amounts of beneficial polysaccharides, triterpenes and peptidoglycans. Real Mushrooms uses dual extraction for their premium reishi mushroom powder – recommended by ConsumerLab and Nature’s Best!
