Mushrooms provide an effective boost of energy and mental clarity without the jitters or crash associated with sugary sodas and coffee. GT’s Living Foods ALIVE adaptogenic elixir blends mushrooms with various varieties of invigorating tea to combat stress while simultaneously promote balance and longevity.

Studies demonstrate the antitumor activity of GLPs and GTs. They can decrease cancer cell proliferation while inhibiting their metastasis.

Adaptogens

Adaptogens are natural compounds that help the body achieve equilibrium by stabilizing energy levels, thus mitigating stressors more effectively, helping the mind and body adapt, while supporting tissue health growth and supporting immune function. These herbs can also promote tissue regeneration while strengthening immunity systems.

GT’s Living Foods recently unveiled ALIVE, their new line of adaptogenic teas derived from Ayurvedic medicine and featuring three adaptogenic mushrooms reishi, chaga, and turkey tail, combined with invigorating tea varieties and raw apple cider vinegar. The result is a light yet refreshing drink which provides relief from today’s ever increasing stimulation, helping both mind and body adapt naturally.

ALIVE Ancient Mushroom Elixir Root Beer elevates the classic root beer taste by combining fermented Pu-erh tea, organic root beer spices, raw apple cider vinegar, dark amber maple syrup and erythritol/stevia in one bottle – providing 60mg of natural caffeine per bottle as an energy drink alternative made with only the highest-grade organic ingredients and 100% certified organic status – not unlike KOMBUCHA or energy drinks with living probiotics to provide an energy boost without jitters or crashes! Enjoyed by all ages without risk or crash!

Antioxidants

Mushroom tea consumption can be beneficial to our bodies as it contains numerous antioxidants and polyphenolic compounds that can reduce oxidative stress in our systems and stimulate antioxidant enzyme activity. Some examples of antioxidants found in mushrooms include polyunsaturated fatty acids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, anthraquinones saponins terpenes polysaccharides that support healthy tissue growth as well as increase immunity.

Mushrooms contain high concentrations of amino acids such as arginine and glutamic acid that are essential for cell development and repair, regulation of blood sugar levels and increased energy production, improved immunity and cardiovascular health benefits, immune support as well as vitamin D which plays an integral role in maintaining bone health and immune function. Mushrooms are an excellent source of these important vitamins.

Studies have demonstrated the antitumor and immunomodulating properties of Ganoderma lucidum extracts and polysaccharides to have anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory responses inhibiting cell growth inhibitory effects as well as having hepatoprotective qualities.

Recent research revealed that G. lucidum polysaccharide extracts reduced oxidative damage in HepG2 cells while simultaneously increasing levels of glutathione and superoxide dismutase, acting as a protective factor against tertbutyl hydrogen peroxide-induced hepatitis in rats (Wu et al. 2016). Furthermore, their protective benefits against this form of liver damage can be attributed to their ability to decrease lipid peroxidation while simultaneously upregulating activity of antioxidant enzymes (Wu et al. 2016).

Mushrooms are an abundant natural source of antioxidants and polyphenols that can protect the body against free radicals that cause oxidative stress, as well as supporting tissue health growth and preventing aging. With so many health benefits provided by mushrooms, they’re an essential addition to any diet; whether taken alone as a supplement, or combined with herbs and foods into an adaptogenic drink like GT’s adaptogenic elixirs made up of ingredients like ginger turmeric root beer spices fermented pu-erh tea fermented pu-erh tea grade B maple.

Anti-inflammatory

Mushrooms contain numerous beneficial natural chemicals, including anthraquinones, polysaccharides, alkaloids, tannins, saponins and phenolic compounds. These natural chemicals offer various health advantages including anti-inflammatory, immunostimulatory and antioxidant effects as well as possible cardiovascular disease prevention or blood sugar regulation effects.

Mushrooms contain powerful antioxidants that are vital in supporting healthy tissue growth and immune function. Furthermore, they are rich in essential nutrients like riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and ascorbic acid which support optimal energy and metabolic processes within our bodies.

Our mushroom blend consists of six organically grown mushrooms that have been fermented in order to release all their naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and immune support polysaccharides. Fermentation helps increase bioavailability of these compounds, making them more easily digested and absorbed by our bodies. Once in our immune systems they may support numerous health conditions. These metabolites include anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, analgesic, immunostimulant, hypoglycemic, and hepatoprotective properties. Furthermore, they help to lower lipid levels and enhance metabolism – useful remedies against asthma, stress, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic hepatitis, etc.

Anti-cancer

Mushrooms provide essential amino acids such as tryptophan, lysine and methionine as well as fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B9. Furthermore, mushrooms contain numerous biologically active compounds, such as phenolic compounds and polysaccharides with numerous biological effects attributed to them; such as antitumor properties. Linoleic acid from Lentinula edodes boasts anti-tumor and immune-enhancing capabilities while other patented mushroom metabolites include anthraquinones saponins terpenoids and steroid compounds with further benefits attributed to them – while liver function accelerator properties as well as hepatoprotective and immunomodulating capabilities.

Medicinal mushrooms contain polysaccharides that support immune health. This essential nutrition can be found within their cell walls made of chitin; because this material is indigestible, in order to reap all their benefits you must cook or hot water extract them, or ferment them – fermenting helps optimize absorption so polysaccharides can reach peak bioavailability and activity – our GTS mushroom tea blend features fermented mushrooms for maximum efficiency!
