Mushroom Facts
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Rich in bioactive compounds, the lion’s mane mushroom has been widely recognized for its potential benefits in supporting cognitive function, gut health, immune regulation, and antimicrobial activity.
Turkey Tail (Coriolus versicolor)
Turkey tail mushrooms contain polysaccharide-K (PSK) and polysaccharide peptides (PSP), which are known to enhance immune health. These compounds help stimulate and regulate the immune system, supporting the body’s defense against cancer and other diseases. PSPs also promote the production of immune cells that fight infections.
Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi)
Reishi mushrooms have more than 400 different nutrients. This includes beta-glucans and triterpenoids, compounds that can lower blood sugar and blood pressure levels, reducing your diabetes and heart disease risk. Studies show the mushrooms also have high antioxidant activity, which protects your body from cell damage that can increase your risk of many chronic diseases.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
Shiitake mushrooms contain eritadenine, a compound known to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. They also contain beta-glucans that reduce inflammation and help prevent the intestines from absorbing cholesterol.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)
Some studies also show that cordyceps may help reduce inflammation in your body. These anti-inflammatory properties could help ease symptoms of diseases like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and other conditions.
