Chaga Mushroom

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing, non-toxic fungus commonly found on birch trees in cold climates. While its outer appearance resembles burnt charcoal or dirt, inside it contains an abundant source of nutrition – an earthy-smelling brown substance rich in vitamins. Used traditionally as an Eastern European and Russian natural health tonic since centuries, chaga has many antiviral and antioxidant properties; animal studies have even demonstrated increased immune system functioning while stimulating spleen lymphocyte production as well as antimicrobial properties – making it an invaluable addition.

Mushrooms have proven so effective at reducing inflammation that they could serve as an alternative treatment in some instances, since they have the power to stop cancer cells from proliferating by blocking cell signalling pathways that promote proliferation.

This mushroom is a powerhouse antioxidant and may provide great benefits to skin. The high melanin levels found within it may offer UV radiation protection while being an abundant source of vitamin D – helping regulate blood sugar and increasing physical endurance while decreasing inflammation levels in the body.

One of the easiest and best ways to utilize this mushroom is through making chaga tea. Simply soak chunks in hot water for around an hour, strain out, and consume as a snack or ground into powder for use in beverages.

Chaga mushroom can be found as tinctures and teas at natural health stores or online, and may also be combined with other mushrooms such as cordyceps for specialty tea blends.

Purchase of chaga from a reliable provider is of utmost importance, and should come complete with a certificate of authenticity that details how and when the product was harvested and grown; plus they should provide you with a money back guarantee! It’s also vital that you understand what dosage you are ingesting; while chaga may be beneficial in maintaining health, too much should not be consumed at one time; the recommended daily dosage for adults should not exceed 20 ml three times per day before meals.

Cordyceps Mushroom

Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine believe cordyceps has many therapeutic uses, from increasing energy to strengthening immunity. Scientific research backs many of these claims up, with studies showing it can improve both innate and adaptive immunity as well as inhibit tumor growth (Cheung, Li and Tsim 2005).

Cordyceps contains polysaccharides that stimulate certain white blood cells to kill germs and remove dead cells, known as phagocytosis, using certain white blood cell types that engage phagocytosis. They may also stimulate cytotoxic T cells – immune cells responsible for directly killing cancerous and abnormal cells directly – by inducing anaphylaxis and increasing hematopoiesis as well as increasing circulation, detoxifying kidneys and livers, improving urination, as well as improving bladder functions.

One of the most popular ways to consume cordyceps is as tea, where its beneficial compounds are extracted by steeping for long enough. Traditionally, this tea was prepared by boiling pieces of fruiting bodies into water; however, nowadays some people also roast and grind cordyceps into powder which they then combine with hot water to form their brew.

Cordyceps capsules can also be purchased online and at health food stores. A typical daily dosage should range between 3 and 4 grams.

Cordyceps’ main chemical constituent, cordycepin (3-deoxyadenosine), has several pharmacological benefits and should be consumed raw or added to soups and sauces to maximize its benefits.

Tibetan people have used cordyceps for centuries to adjust to high altitudes and low oxygen levels where they live. Studies have demonstrated its positive benefits on lung, kidneys, blood pressure and prevent diabetes as well as respiratory conditions like bronchitis and tuberculosis. Furthermore, cordyceps was discovered to increase certain enzymes which kill cancer cells while simultaneously strengthening immunity – decreasing IgE production to minimize allergic reactions and improve overall wellness.

Reishi Mushroom

Reishi mushrooms have many beneficial health uses, from strengthening immunity to treating viral infections like flu and swine flu to aiding cancer treatments and tumor removals, improving sleep quality and overall wellness promotion. Reishi can also be used for heart disease treatment as well as lung conditions like asthma and bronchitis as well as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux/ulcers as well as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Reishi mushroom contains more than 400 different nutrients and many have been reported in scientific studies to have immunostimulatory effects, such as its 1,3 1,6 beta-glucans and triterpenes which help balance gut microbiome bacteria to promote a healthy inflammation response. Furthermore, Reishi also boasts sleep inducing properties due to adaptogens contained within its tissues which improve concentration throughout the day and facilitate deeper levels of restful restful sleep.

Reishi mushrooms can help strengthen immune systems and enhance general wellbeing while also inhibiting tumor growth in laboratory animals. Research also suggests they could potentially aid with other conditions like anxiety, insomnia and depression.

When purchasing reishi supplements, it’s essential that you select a brand with impeccable credentials and third-party certification in order to receive an adequate dose. Furthermore, it may be wise to consult your healthcare provider first if any existing conditions or medications exist as some herbs and natural remedies can interact with drugs negatively.

To optimize the effectiveness of your reishi supplement, it’s recommended that you prepare it by making tea from it – either plain herbal tea, or as an additional energy boost in coffee!

Reishi mushroom supplements can be purchased from specialty and health food stores as well as online grocers. When selecting your reishi supplement, look for something certified organic as this guarantees it is produced without the use of pesticides and harmful chemicals. Alternatively, buy dual extracted and 3rd party tested products as these will provide more potency concentration of its beneficial properties.
