Medicinal Mushrooms
Lion's Mane
Lion's Mane is one of the top mushrooms in promoting cognitive function. Studies show that this medicinal mushroom promotes nerve tissue growth, increases memory retention, and also supports motor function. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses Lion's Mane as a tonic for stress-related disorders and lack of energy, as well as for boosting the spleen due to its ability to help digestion and energy and water regulation.
Cordyceps
Old Chinese medicine and Tibetan medicine describe this mushroom as a treasure. Out of all medicinal mushrooms, Cordyceps is the most stimulating, warming, and powerful in a traditional context. Traditional healers use the fungus as a powerful tonic to improve energy, appetite, stamina, and endurance. Cordyceps is best known for its energy-boosting ability in increasing the body's production of ATP, making it a great supplement for exercise and physical performance. The benefits of this mushroom does not stop there; Cordyceps also supports healthy levels of inflammation and immune markers with a specific focus on the kidneys and lungs as well as having hormone regulatory properties.
Turkey Tail
Turkey Tail is a treasure trove of immune benefits. Researchers are exploring this mushroom's ability to help balance blood sugar levels, boost athletic performance, fight viral and bacterial infections, reduce fatigue, and even protect against age-related cognitive decline. Chinese and Japanese medicine have even been using Turkey Tail for over 30 years as a supplemental therapy in cancer treatment, often being used with chemotherapy or radiation therapy to boost the results of these treatments, as well as support the body from the negative side effects that accompany such treatments.
Reishi
The reishi mushroom offers a range of health benefits such as offering immune support, reducing inflammation, promoting relaxation, improving sleep, and managing stress and anxiety. Furthermore, reishi promotes improved heart health and offers antioxidant properties as well. Studies show it can increase the activity of white blood cells in the body and even lead to the death of cancer cells!
Maitake
Packed with essential nutrients, Maitake mushrooms are renowned for their immune-boosting properties, enhancing the immune system's response to infection and disease. These mushrooms are also a rich source of antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. They have also been linked to improved blood sugar, making them a valuable dietary component for those managing diabetes. Lastly, their anti-inflammatory properties may alleviate symptoms of conditions such as arthritis and promote overall well-being.
Chaga
Chaga is another strong immune boosting mushroom. Researchers say that this mushroom reduces long-term inflammation, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and can help fight infections as they stimulate white blood cells. Chaga also helps with anti-aging as its melanin mimics the skin's natural melanin and repairs damaged cells. It can also protect against sun damage. Studies suggest that Chaga can even help slow and prevent cancer growth!
Other Ingredient Information
MCT Oil
MCT oil provides several potential benefits, including rapid conversion into energy, which makes it ideal for boosting energy levels quickly. It may aid in weight management by increasing feelings of fullness and potentially enhancing fat burning. Additionally, MCTs can support cognitive function by providing a quick source of ketones for the brain and may improve gut health by acting against harmful bacteria and fungi. It also has the potential to improve cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar, and exhibit anti-inflammatory properties.
Arabica Beans
Arabica coffee beans are celebrated for their smooth, nuanced flavor profile of nutty chocolate. They also offer lower caffeine content and are rich in antioxidants, potentially reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, its lower acidity makes arabica coffee gentler on the stomach, potentially reducing digestive discomfort compared to higher-acid coffees.
100% Fruiting Body
Many domestic manufacturers cultivate their mushrooms in labs. Where this falls short is in the harvesting of the fungus; there is no fungus to harvest. Instead, the manufacturers only get the "stem" of the mushroom which is called its Mycelium. Mycelium only contains a fraction of the immuno-benefits that the whole fruiting body offers. We are proud to say that our Zhome Mushroom Coffee uses the extract of 100% fruiting body, grown in their natural ecosystem in China.
