RYZE Mushroom Tea
RYZE’s organic mushroom blend is sugar-free and animal product free, providing an effective natural remedy. Chaga can balance stress hormones; Lion’s Mane promotes neuron growth to boost cognitive performance; Cordyceps increases oxygen for improved endurance; while Shiitake and Turkey Tail aid immune systems.
Mushrooms are adaptogenic, which means they teach your endocrine system how to produce hormones necessary for healthy skin and digestion, alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress along the way.
Lion’s Mane
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) can provide your brain with essential brain-enhancing compounds known as heracinnes and erinacines that stimulate nerve growth while supporting mental clarity, focus and memory. Studies have demonstrated how Lion’s Mane can boost cognitive function among healthy adults as well as improve it for those suffering from neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s or MS.
Lion’s Mane can also serve as an effective immune system booster due to its abundance of beta-glucans, polysaccharides which stimulate and balance out immune systems when needed while also contributing to improving gut microbiome balance for increased digestive health and immunity(5).
An additional study published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews discovered that Lion’s Mane can improve your mood by stimulating serotonin production, thanks to heracinines and erinacines forming connections between neurons – helping reduce depression and anxiety symptoms in turn.
Lion’s Mane mushroom has several key advantages that can improve athletic performance by helping reduce muscle fatigue. One study demonstrated this benefit; athletes who consumed Lion’s Mane experienced greater endurance compared to those who didn’t consume the herb(6). Furthermore, this herb can prevent blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation–one of the major risk factors associated with thrombosis(6).
Since ancient Chinese Medicine began, Lion’s Mane has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a decoction or supplement to reduce inflammation and strengthen the nervous system. It was often prescribed for conditions associated with low life energy (qi) such as insomnia and muscle weakness, because its anti-inflammatory and nerve strengthening properties help replenish low qi levels, such as insomnia or muscular weakness. Furthermore, TCM utilizes this herb as part of their holistic approach which seeks to nourish all aspects of health at once by strengthening and healing both body, mind, and spirit simultaneously (7)
Reishi
Reishi mushrooms are among the most beloved medicinal mushrooms available, often serving as immune boosters and helping promote a healthy stress response while decreasing oxidative stress levels. Furthermore, Reishi has mood stabilizing effects and can promote restful sleep; boost energy and stave off fatigue; as well as potentially helping prevent neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s via its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
There has been evidence of its natural detoxifying abilities and energy production and metabolism benefits in humans, and its immune-enhancing properties. It can act as an adaptogen, helping regulate stress responses in your body while supporting healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, cell repair and regeneration, balancing hormone levels, decreasing inflammation, increasing oxygen supply to muscles and more.
Reishi in RYZE’s formula is combined with chicory root for an additional digestive aid boost. Chicory helps promote enzyme secretion for enhanced nutrient absorption, has anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce oxidative stress levels in the body.
Reishi can also provide relief for those suffering from hay fever, as studies have demonstrated its immunoregulatory properties and possible antihistamine activity. Reishi contains compounds which may improve skin elasticity while supporting the body’s ability to retain water naturally. Furthermore, Reishi reduces oxidative stress in the body and increases glutathione peroxidase activity – both essential functions that enable natural immune defense against oxidative damage.
Reishi can be found in many mushroom teas and supplements, such as RYZE’s Mushroom Coffee Blend. This unique beverage combines adaptogens Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail with Kombucha for a powerful immunity-enhancing drink that offers stress relief, improved sleep quality, increased energy, hormone balance, gut health improvements and reduced oxidative damage benefits – plus much more!
Chaga
Chaga grows on the trunks of birch trees in northern regions around the world and can be harvested to make tea. It has long been used as a natural cancer treatment, with its ability to block cancer cells from spreading. Furthermore, it reduces inflammation within the body and protects against oxidative stress, while being packed with polysaccharides like (1>3(1>6)-beta-D-glucans known to have immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective properties.
Chaga contains melanin, which has been shown in both in vitro and in vivo studies to exhibit protective qualities, helping the body absorb UV rays while simultaneously inhibiting DNA damage. Furthermore, Chaga contains other bioactive compounds including triterpenes such as inotodiol and betulinic acid which have both been demonstrated to reduce inflammation conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis.
Chaga has also been shown to possess antiviral properties that could help fight colds and lower LDL levels – often referred to as “bad” cholesterol since it increases risk for heart disease and stroke.
Chaga can reduce inflammation and help fight colds, while also acting as an effective stress reliever and mood enhancer. Studies have also shown it can boost mood and improve sleep quality. For those struggling to get quality restful sleep, adding Chaga powder form could be just the thing to help them find relief – simply add it into your favorite blends or use alone – Cordyceps is one such ingredient, while Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail ingredients have also been known to promote relaxation and decrease stress levels.
Shiitake
Shiitake mushrooms may seem simple in appearance, yet their nutritional profile makes an impactful statement about their benefits for our bodies and wellbeing. A delectable alternative for meals and tea, they offer low calorie nutrition while supporting cell health and immunity.
Shiitake mushrooms are an abundant source of copper, selenium, vitamin D, potassium and phosphorus – and just four mushrooms provide more than 25 percent of your daily recommended dose for riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B5. Their unique combination of vitamins and minerals also provides an important boost for immune system health.
Shiitake mushrooms contain sterol compounds that help lower cholesterol. Furthermore, these mushrooms help prevent blood clot formation and maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Shiitakes are one of the few foods known to contain polysaccharide lentinan which promotes white blood cell activity as well as boost the body’s natural cancer-fighting capacities.
These mushrooms contain many antioxidants which help combat oxidative stress – one of the primary causes of disease and aging – by protecting cell membranes and reducing DNA oxidative damage.
Shiitake mushrooms offer numerous health benefits for prostate health. Shiitake’s phytonutrients have been demonstrated to impede cancer cell proliferation and migration during lab studies. Furthermore, their ergosterol content converts to vitamin D when exposed to ultraviolet light – this compound has been shown to boost immune function, enhance calcium absorption, and even assist with cancer prevention efforts.
King Trumpet
King Trumpet mushrooms standout among mushrooms as a nutritional powerhouse, boasting potential to reduce cholesterol, improve cognition, reduce inflammation and boost overall immunity. King Trumpet’s special flavorful combination with scientific research offers unique health benefits for its consumers.
Botanically known as Pleurotus eryngii, the King trumpet mushroom is one of the largest edible species in the Pleurotaceae family and often known as King Oyster mushroom, French Horn mushroom or Trumpet Royale. Native to Europe and North Africa, this variety can often be found hidden away among hardwood oak roots but it can also be grown on different substrates.
Fungi are prized in China and Japan for their delicious umami flavor, often served alongside meat dishes. Vegan seafood substitutes make these mushrooms ideal for soups and stews as well as being perfect for grilling into delicious teriyaki-style main courses.
King trumpet mushrooms contain naturally-occurring antioxidants such as vitamins B6, magnesium and selenium – as well as high concentrations of the master antioxidant ergothioneine which works to protect cells against free radical damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress, leading to early aging and chronic diseases.
The King Trumpet mushroom can be an invaluable addition to any diet, but is especially helpful for those suffering from chronic conditions like high blood sugar levels, pre-diabetes, obesity and inflammation. Antioxidants present in King Trumpet mushrooms have been proven to improve cognitive function and prevent neurodegenerative disorders; in addition, this mushroom may increase anticancer medication effectiveness and boost natural immunity against cancer.
