What Does Mushroom Tea Do For You?
Tea is one of the oldest beverages known to man and widely recognized for its health benefits. Alongside traditional varieties like black tea, green tea and oolong from Camellia sinensis plants cultivated on Mount Fuji such as black, green and oolong tea made by Camellia sinensis plants grown on Mount Fuji like black, green, oolong as well as herbal infusions known for anti-inflammatory effects, mushroom tea is now becoming an emerging market trend and features functional mushrooms as its primary component; mushroom tea can either stand on its own as a standalone beverage or can be added as an additive when combined with other types of teas and herbal infusions such as herbal infusions made by Camellia sinensis plants such as black, green tea made by Camellia sinensis varieties such as black, green oolong.
Mushrooms are an amazing, low-calorie superfood with numerous health and wellbeing advantages. Loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants (such as Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight) and immune boosters like Zinc; mushrooms may even help support liver and kidney health as well. Also, mushrooms have been reported to reduce depression and anxiety symptoms, reduce blood sugar levels, improve heart health, decrease cancer risks and maintain brain health!
Many people enjoy mushroom tea to improve their health, often found at health food stores as an individual drink or mixed with ingredients such as tea leaves, herbs, and spices. Sweetened or unsweetened variations may be available depending on individual preferences; the beverage can be enjoyed either cold or hot and at any time during the day.
Some mushroom teas are prepared using whole dried mushrooms while others use extracts of functional mushrooms, like Lion’s Mane which may help improve cognitive function; Cordyceps which is thought to enhance energy and endurance; or Chaga which offers anti-ageing benefits and immune support.
Mushroom tea’s health benefits can be attributed to its nutrients, which seep into boiling water during its tea-brewing process and are then consumed. Fungi contain many beneficial compounds including immune activating beta-glucans and polysaccharides which activate cells within our bodies that support an effective immune response, according to nutritionist Robin Foroutan MS RDN HHC of Nutrition by Robin.
Like some medicinal supplements, mushroom tea’s benefits do not appear instantly and must be consumed regularly to experience them fully. To get maximum effectiveness from its consumption, it should be consumed at least once daily in the morning – this way you are ensured the optimal results! For optimal results it should be consumed preferably before breakfast time.
Nature’s Rise conducted an in-depth research study on the health benefits of Lion’s Mane mushrooms used in adaptogenic beverages and tea, and discovered that regular consumption can significantly enhance brain function and overall immune system health, along with providing increased energy, focus and concentration benefits. This groundbreaking research represented the first time such studies had ever been done on dietary supplements; all components were meticulously planned and executed adhering to scientific research standards.
