MUSHROOMS +
We use six different mushrooms for all our blends, all organic and all sourced from sustainable farms using traditional mediums to ensure the highest quality.
LIONS MANE
Lion's mane is a striking mushroom species characterized by its beautiful, white-capped appearance and tendency to cluster on trees. These mushrooms are celebrated for their numerous properties, like improving gut-health and mood as well as reducing anxiety; however, they are mostly know due to two particular compounds, erinacines and hericenones. These have been shown to stimulate growth of nerve cells and promote production of nerve growth factor (NGF) potentially leading to improved cognitive function, memory, and concentration.
TURKEY TAIL
Turkey Tail mushrooms get their name from its colourful appearance resembling the tails of wild turkeys. Historically valued in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine as 'Yun Zhi' and 'Kawaratake,' respectively, these mushrooms were believed to promote longevity and vitality. Today, Turkey Tail mushrooms are prized for their immune-boosting and digestion-balancing properties, containing polysaccharides and bioactive compounds that support overall health and well-being.
REISHI
Reishi mushrooms, also known as Lingzhi in Chinese, have a distinct appearance with their shiny, reddish-brown cap and woody texture. These mushrooms have been used in China for over 2000 years, and their effects are so potent they have earned them the title of 'mushroom of immortality'. Historically, Reishi mushrooms were reserved for royalty and nobility due to their rarity and potent medicinal properties. Today, they are cultivated worldwide and are highly sought after for their renowned adaptogenic properties, including immune support, stress reduction, and anti-inflammatory effects.
SHIITAKE
With their earthy aroma and meaty texture, shiitakes are easily recognizable by their large, brown caps and thick, creamy-white stems. Intriguingly, these mushrooms have the ability to naturally produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight or UV radiation, making them one of the few plant-based sources of this essential nutrient. These mushrooms are not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits. They are a good source of antioxidants and B vitamins, including niacin and biotin, which promote healthy skin, hair, and metabolism. Additionally, shiitake mushrooms contain polysaccharides such as beta-glucans, which have been linked to the stimulation of the beneficial gut-bacteria's growth and enhancement of the immune system's response to pathogens, contributing to overall digestive wellness.
CORDYCEPS
Flourishing through a fascinating symbiotic relationship with insect larvae in remote high-altitude regions, Cordyceps embody their adaptogenic reputation for enhancing energy, stamina, and overall vitality. They are also abundant in antioxidants, which are known to fortify immune defenses and counteract oxidative stress. Furthermore, Cordyceps count with lots of polysaccharides and amino acids, serving as foundational elements for their health benefits claims.
