Why should I use Mushrooms 4 Life Reishi Cacao Latte? 

Immunity

Reishi contains beta-glucans, a type of polysaccharide that has been shown to activate white blood cells, making them stronger and more efficient fighters against diseases.

Heart health

Reishi has been shown to contain compounds that reduce LDL cholesterol and blood pressure; key risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Liver health

Studies have highlighted reishi’s hepatoprotective effects

Allergies

Reishi is rich in triterpenes which have strong anti-inflammatory properties, combined with immunomodulatory action, this makes it an excellent choice for allergies and other inflammatory conditions.

Active ingredients 

Polysaccharides

Studies have highlighted their ability to modulate immune function.

Triterpenoids

The most valuable constituents of reishi mushroom alongside its polysaccharides. Reishi has over 130 triterpenoid compounds that have been reported to be hepatoprotective, anti-histaminic, and be valuable for cardiovascular health amongst other actions.

Antioxidants

Act as a protective shield, safeguarding our cells from damage.

About reishi mushroom 

Reishi is the most highly revered of all the medicinal mushrooms in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is known as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality’ for its rich storehouse of nutrients and antioxidant compounds and traditionally regarded as having adaptogenic properties. It is believed to replenish the ‘Qi’ energy and strengthen the kidney essence, which can be depleted by stress.

Quality red Reishi should be slightly bitter in flavour and is a sign of its efficacy. However, blending it into a mushroom latte imparts a rich and earthy flavour with no bitter aftertaste. Offering a therapeutic dose of Reishi per serving, this well-regarded mushroom known for its balancing effects can offer you a moment of harmony any time of the day. It is also a great low-caffeine alternative if you’re trying to break the coffee habit; just add hot water or milk of your choice for a little extra richness.

The mushrooms are grown in the traditional home of red Reishi on duanwood, logs that Reishi grows on in the wild. These nature-identical conditions give these mushrooms a similar nutritional profile to wild-crafted mushrooms. Because experts in the field of medicinal mushrooms blend these mushroom lattes, they contain only the purest bioactive compounds. All Mushrooms 4 Life’s products are third-party tested to ensure purity of the mushroom strain. They also screen them for contaminants, pesticides and heavy metals, so you can be assured they are manufactured to the highest quality and standards.

Why mushrooms?

Mushrooms are nature’s biological communicators, forming vast invisible networks that connect individual plants, and transfer water and nutrients. As mushrooms grow, they enrich the forest floor and plants in a symbiotic relationship, a form of communication which some have coined the Wood Wide Web. This ability to ‘speak to’ the plant kingdom at a deep cellular level is also what makes them so valuable to us. In humans, research shows they may be regarded as biological response modifiers (BRMs), acting on the immune system to restore balance where it is needed.

Fungi kingdom

Although we might assume fungi to be part of the plant kingdom, they are more closely related to animals, and humans and fungi share a common ancestry in 30% of our DNA. To date approximately 700 species of mushroom have been identified as having therapeutic value and together they form some of the most potent medicines found in the natural world.

Potent natural medicines

Beyond their capacity to colonise, mushrooms have developed an innate hardiness over many millennia. This gives them a natural advantage in a range of habitats, from Chaga conk in Siberia—which can survive temperatures of -40C—to the high Tibetan plateaus which are home to a rare species of Cordyceps fungus. It also means they have evolved some unique defences against disease in a set of pharmacologically active compounds that can benefit humans.

• Beta glucans and related polysaccharides (complex sugars) which have been studied for their effects on immune function and the gut microbiome
• Triterpenes, a group of bioactive, anti-inflammatory chemicals related to steroids
• Proteins with antimicrobial and immune-modulating effects
• Enzymes including digestive and antioxidant enzymes
• A good source of vitamins B, D and minerals such as zinc, selenium and manganese
