In the fast pace of everyday life, finding natural solutions to help improve health and promote wellbeing is key. This need has led to a growing interest in the benefits of adaptogenic mushrooms such as Reishi, Shiitake and the lion's mane.
Your coffees with adaptogenic mushrooms
Below, we explore the properties of these mushrooms and see how combining them with coffee, which you can already find in our catalogue, enhances their positive effects and creates a healthy and revitalising drinking experience.
Reishi, the mushroom of immortality
The reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been revered in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years for its many benefits:
- It boosts the immune system thanks to its beta-glucans and triterpenoids, which help your body fight infection and disease.
- It has a calming effect, reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a state of relaxation, without causing drowsiness.
- Its bioactive compounds give it anti-inflammatory properties, which help to alleviate chronic ailments and improve overall health.
Shiitake, the flavour of health
Another highly valued mushroom is the shiitake (Lentinula edodes)which stands out not only for its benefits, but also for its delicious umami taste. These are its main advantages:
- Its erythadenine content helps to reduce cholesterol levels and improve heart health.
- Like reishi, shiitake is rich in beta-glucans that strengthen the immune system.
- Some studies attribute protective effects to shiitake against certain types of cancer.
Lion's Mane, the brain fungus
Finally, we would like to mention the lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus)which stands out for its distinctive appearance and its potential to improve brain health, among other benefits:
- Its compounds stimulate the growth of neurons and improve cognitive functions such as memory and concentration.
