No matter what it is you need help with – cancer, mood or fatigue – mushroom coffee might just be what the doctor ordered. This popular beverage combines instant coffee with dried mushrooms and other healthful ingredients, providing a beverage with lower caffeine levels than its traditional counterpart, providing relief to sensitive stomachs or those concerned about potential side effects associated with caffeine consumption.

Reishi mushrooms, prized in Eastern medicine as the source of longevity and good health, contain antioxidants which boost immune function while simultaneously stimulating certain white blood cells that target abnormal cells – including those linked with cancer. Their popularity among drinkers continues to expand rapidly.

Reishi mushroom products come in the form of nutritional powders, dietary supplements, and tea. Containing over 400 different nutrients including beta-glucans and triterpenoids, taking Reishi may improve energy levels but some users experience side effects like an upset stomach, dry mouth or even rashes after taking Reishi products.

Mushrooms have become an increasingly popular ingredient in beverages like coffee and smoothies, as well as various foods. You’ll find them everywhere from health food stores stocked by Goop-approved Four Sigmatic brands to cafes offering mushroom coffee blends with ingredients like raw cacao powder, maca root powder and medium chain triglycerides oil (from coconuts). Instant and ground varieties are both available.
