Mushrooms x Coffee

Mushroom coffee is a delightful fusion of traditional coffee beans and medicinal mushroom extracts, creating a unique beverage that combines the familiar taste of coffee with the powerful health benefits of mushrooms. Mushroom coffee is a great alternative to regular coffee as mushrooms naturally have antioxidant properties, are adaptogenic, non-irritating on the digestive tract, and are also immune supporting, making them a fantastic addition to your daily routine.

Meet the Mushroom

Cordyceps mushroom is popular among athletes and active individuals for its ability to increase energy levels and improve physical performance. Cordyceps is a fantastic source of a neurotransmitter called adenosine, which helps block some of the stimulatory effects caused by coffee. This results in a fantastic synergy, giving a natural and sustained lift without any of the jitters or crashes. A pleasant and delicious way to get your caffeine hit and daily dose of medicinal mushrooms. 

History

Also known as the ‘emperor’s mushroom’, cordyceps features many health-promoting properties including aerobic benefits. The first people to discover cordyceps’ benefits initially observed animals eating the mushroom and growing strong in the process. Farmers and herders began to use cordyceps in powder form to make tonics and teas to promote strength and vitality. 

Benefits: Why you should use it?

• Energy: Studies show increases in oxygen uptake, aerobic capacity, and resistance to fatigue. Cordyceps can naturally support energy levels. Caffeine is a stimulant that helps fatigue resistance and increases energy levels.
• Sports Performance: Cordyceps has long been revered for its ability to boost energy and stamina. Studies show one of the key ways cordyceps enhances energy levels is by increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) helping to improve energy levels, and reduce fatigue. Caffeine increases adrenaline levels in the blood which prepares the body for physical exertion, it also breaks down body fat so the body can use these free fatty acids as fuel, and it’s been shown to increase performance by 11-12% on average (1).
