Cordyceps

Cordyceps mushrooms are a type of sac fungus, and in fact, they are actually a parasite. It's totally fascinating, and we'll get into that. Cordyceps mushrooms are also known for their health properties, having been renowned in Asia for centuries. They are quickly becoming well-known for their advantages in the West as well.

The story goes that a bunch of yak herders noticed their yaks were really friendly and energetic after eating cordyceps, and thus humans began consuming them to get cordyceps mushrooms health benefits. They were eaten and otherwise ingested by kings and nobility for centuries for their properties, and are now gaining some traction as a serious superfood. Chief among benefits is that cordyceps mushrooms enhances the level of ATP in the blood supply. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the molecule of energy transfer between cells in living organisms. This means more efficient transfer of energy...and more for you to use, giving you a boost.

They are also known to improve lung function, which is why they have long been a favorite among yak herders in the Himalayas. Living at high altitude, you need all the oxygen you can get and cordyceps have been noted for their beneficial properties in this regard - or at least associated with it - for centuries. Cordyceps are also known for containing polysaccharides that increase insulin sensitivity and decreasing insulin challenge response. The practical effects are reducing fasting blood sugar and insulin levels. That same polysaccharide has also been shown to reduce triglyceride and cholesterol levels, meaning it's also good for the heart. Cordyceps mushrooms have also been shown to improve liver function - enough to slow cirrhosis - and kidney function. White blood cell counts are known to improve when taking cordyceps mushrooms medicinally or as part of the diet, so they also happen to improve and maintain a healthy immune system as well. There are also effects that improve function in...let's say sensitive areas. One of the known cordyceps mushroom benefits for men is a boost in testosterone production and, with the increase in white blood cells and ADP, better blood flow to certain regions. That's why it's been called "Himalayan Viagra" in some literature. Oh, and it also works for women. It's been known as an effective folk remedy for post-menopausal arousal.

Natural source of nutrients

Mushrooms made into coffee are high in vitamins and minerals. The powder contains iron, B12, potassium, fiber, amino acids, and other minerals. The Lion's Mane mushroom also has a lot of protein.

Immunity

Since Covid 19, every brand out there has been marketing their product as something that gives strong immune support. That is not what we are trying to do here. Studies have proven that medicinal mushroom strengthens our immune system. Mushrooms are high in Beta-glucan. It is a very essential part of our immune system and sadly our bodies don't secrete it themselves. Instead of sourcing beta-glucan from medicines, just add mushroom coffee to your daily routine.

Control anxiety and lack of sleep

Overdose of coffee can lead to anxiety and lack of sleep as caffeine impacts how our brain functions. But coffee made from mushrooms is a better alternative to it. The less amount of caffeine will stop hindering the normal sleep cycle of your body, giving you better sleep. Mushroom coffee can also reduce stress.

Please remember, coffee consumption is not the reason behind your mental disease, it just supports the main cause. We encourage you to consult a professional to seek help while also switching from coffee to mushroom powder coffee
