Hey everyone. This will be an educational posts about some of the benefits of adaptogenic mushrooms. What are adaptogenic mushrooms you ask? Well, you will have to read the post to find out more. Lets get to it...
Adaptogenic mushroom extracts are a natural way to improve the health and wellness of an individual. Mushrooms have been around since the ancient times. We have evolved naturally by eating mushrooms. There are plenty of health benefits to eating the right types of mushrooms. Many of these ancient mushrooms are highly sort after for the their traditional healing properties. You could even consider some of these mushrooms as "superfoods." When taken with other healthy foods in a whole food, all natural diet, these adapotgenic mushrooms have a supercharging synergistic effect to boost one's health.
One of the ancient mushroom types is called Chaga. Chaga is known as "King of the Mushrooms." This regal mushroom has been used as a health tonic for thousands of years by traditional Chinese herbalists and indigenous cultures in Northern Europe, Russian, and North America. Chaga is an immune boosting tonic herb that optimizes full body health and well-being. Chaga is a rich source of Betulinic Acid, Melanin, B vitamins and zine. Melanin protects DNA from free radicals ans supports cell regeneration.
You can find chaga mushrooms extracted into a powder form. If you use this method, make sure to purchase from a company that uses pure, natural and certified organic bio-active ingredients to get the most out of your mushrooms. You want your ingredients to be 100 percent plant based and GMO-free. There should be no dairy, gluten, fillers, preservatives, or artificial additives in any of the ingredients. The best is to look for something sourced naturally from the wild in a sustainable environment.
You also want to look for a product that does a full extraction process to activate the full spectrum of benefits. Top quality mushroom extracts will use a dual extraction process. One part will be accomplished using hot water and another extraction using alcohol. This is known as the dual extraction. This allows your mushrooms to extract all of their potent properties to get the most health benefits. You can then use this extract to add to your coffee or tea in the morning. I find mixing mushroom extract with coffee works best. The flavors seem to compliment each other well. I do this first thing in the morning to get a little jolt from the caffeine in the coffee and the health benefits from the mushrooms.
Well there you have it. I hope you learned something new today. The next post will contain another adaptogenic mushroom that you can add to your diet. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading and I will see you again soon.
