Mushroom coffee is an exciting drink made by combining ground coffee beans with powdered medicinal mushrooms, such as chaga, reishi or cordyceps containing prebiotic fibers which promote gut health by encouraging beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract to flourish (1). The mushrooms used can have numerous health benefits that range from cognitive enhancements, immune support and antioxidant effects. (1)

Furthermore, certain mushrooms such as lion’s mane and turkey tail possess anti-inflammatory properties that may help lower stress levels, improve sleep quality, and enhance immunity. Mushroom coffee may have a calming effect and help increase concentration and focus.

Many people love starting their day right with a cup of mushroom coffee as it provides an energy boost without the crashes associated with caffeine consumption. Plus, adaptogenic mushrooms found in mushroom coffee have the power to improve mood and reduce stress.

Mushroom coffee may help facilitate weight loss by supporting healthy blood sugar levels and reducing inflammation, providing natural sources of amino acids that may assist with improving metabolism, as well as providing relaxation of mind and body. Reishi and chaga mushrooms in particular have long been used to support digestive health and immunity by aiding with fat digestion and increasing bile flow; other varieties like these can even aid with sleep and stress relief by relaxing mind and body simultaneously.
