Our unique Mushroom Mix is a balanced combination of four powerful medicinal mushrooms: equal parts Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, and Cordyceps:
Lion’s Mane
Lion’s Mane mushrooms contain high levels of B vitamins, zinc, and manganese, essential for energy metabolism and building body tissues. Additionally, Lion’s Mane is packed with polysaccharides, particularly beta-glucans, which activate immune cells and can help prevent infectious disease.
Studies also suggest Lion’s Mane could offer brain benefits, such as promoting nerve cell growth and improving memory which could help with doggie dementia and our aging friends. There is also potential for its use in treating cancer and heart disease. Preliminary studies have shown that compounds found in Lion’s Mane induce cell death in cancer cells and may reduce cholesterol.
Chaga
Chaga has powerful antioxidant properties, which may help combat diseases caused by reactive oxygenated molecules in cells, otherwise known as oxidative stress. Research also suggests Chaga could be useful in fighting cancer. Chaga extracts have been shown to reduce the growth of several cancer cell types.
Like Lion’s Mane, Chaga also has a high concentration of beta-glucans, which may help prevent diseases caused by infections. Chaga extracts can boost the immune system and have also demonstrated antiviral activity.
Reshi
Reshi contains lectins and several polysaccharides, which support healthy immune system function.
Reshi may be able to increase the production and sensitivity of insulin, a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels. This could theoretically help people with diabetes, where the body stops responding to insulin and blood sugar levels remain too high.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps militaris demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties, which can dampen the immune system, making it useful for diseases caused by inflammation. Studies also show that it reduced arthritic swelling and improved motor function.
Cordyceps has a particularly high concentration of antioxidants. Cordyceps has also demonstrated anticoagulant properties in research, and so it may be beneficial to the cardiovascular system.
Medicinal Mushroom Synergy
Synergy occurs when different compounds work together to produce stronger or distinct effects than each can achieve alone.
In the case of our mushroom mix, each species’ unique compounds may similarly work together to enhance health, though research on mushroom synergy is still limited. One study found that combining Reishi with other medicinal mushrooms led to a stronger immune-boosting effect than when each mushroom was taken alone.
