What is Reishi Coffee?
Reishi coffee is a blend of coffee and mushrooms, featuring lower caffeine than its regular counterpart and may help with sleep. Reishi can also enhance energy and immunity. Made by mixing freeze-dried coffee with reishi mushroom extract, reishi coffee can be found instant, ground or pod form.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has long been used by herbalists as an effective tonic mushroom to increase longevity, improve sleep quality, and soothe frayed nerves.
Swanson’s Organic Reishi Colombian Coffee provides a velvety cup of joe infused with the immune-enhancing benefits of reishi mushrooms for an energizing boost that’s full of antioxidants – perfect for those on a detox regimen! This brew pairs freeze-dried organic coffee with freeze-dried organic reishi mushroom powder and other herbs, creating a refreshing beverage packed with energy while simultaneously providing antioxidant benefits.
When purchasing reishi coffee, be sure to read the label closely in order to assess how much reishi is present per serving. Some brands of mushroom coffee contain only trace amounts of healing fungus while other use mycelium grown on grain substrates which contains significantly fewer beta-glucans that boost immune health than fruiting bodies of reishi fungi.
