Learn about Lion's Mane

“Lion’s mane is a no-brainer for cognitive support and improvement.”

Known to improve focus, mental clarity, and to be a memory booster, Lion’s mane is also shown to actually support nerve growth. Its compounds that do this are exceptionally able to cross the brain/blood barrier, meaning that Lion's mane also contributes to the repair and regeneration of neurons - one smart mushroom! Studies are ongoing in this area as it could have big implications for the prevention and treatment of Dementia and Alzheimers, as well as supporting healthy brain function.

We use Lion's Mane in our Flow State coffee for its reputation for cognition support.

Learn about Reishi

“The all-in-one mushroom for reducing anxiety and protecting your mind and body against stress”

However, this is not all it does - it works in the background to provide powerful support for the immune system. Studies show that Reishi, amongst other things, may boost white blood cells, protect the heart from disease and reduce the inflammation caused by allergic reactions. In other words, it helps to regulate the immune system - boosting a weaker immune system (fighting an illness) and calming an overactive one (reducing allergic responses). These benefits may take time to accumulate though so have patience. 

We use Reishi in our Bright mood coffee for its calming effects. 

Learn about Chaga with coffee

“Chaga is a powerhouse for the body - a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant force”

While studies are ongoing, Chaga is believed to stimulate white cells which are essential for fighting infections and viruses. It’s also reported to lower cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure and regulate gut microbiome supporting a healthier gut.

On top of all these health benefits, Chaga is used as a beauty supplement due to its intense antioxidant levels and is thought to slow the cellular process of ageing. This would mean not just more youthful skin on the outside but younger cells on the inside potentially making it an aid to longevity. No wonder it is in our Life Force coffee and Life Force+ functional mushroom blend.
