Mushroom coffee combines traditional coffee grounds and powder with medicinal mushrooms such as chaga, lion’s mane, cordyceps or reishi for maximum health benefits, including increasing immune system response time, improving gut health and improving focus and mood.

Medicinal mushrooms are well-known for their anti-inflammatory properties, helping soothe digestive discomfort such as bloating and abdominal pain. Coffee blends containing Chaga, Reishi or Lion’s Mane mushrooms usually also include prebiotics to promote healthy bacteria in your microbiome – further aiding in digestion.

Mushroom coffee contains adaptogenic properties that help the body adapt to stress. Chaga, Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps mushrooms have proven especially helpful for managing anxiety levels, supporting immunity systems and managing blood sugar levels.

Mushroom coffee offers another advantage over regular coffee: it is often less acidic. Acidity can cause stomach discomfort and wear away tooth enamel; many mushroom coffee brands combine their fungi with naturally low-acid coffee beans to further minimize acidity levels.

Even though mushroom coffee may be easier on their stomachs than regular coffee, it’s still important to listen and respect your body when taking any supplements or beverages. Certain medicinal mushrooms may cause gas and bloating for certain individuals and it’s wise to steer clear if you have food allergies; furthermore, taking medicinal mushrooms could stimulate the immune system and interfere with treatment plans; pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to stay clear of mushroom coffee products altogether.
