Are you feeling like your mental focus, productivity or stress levels could use some help? We’ve got you covered. Functional mushrooms are tools to help build your mental wellness and emotional resilience. While they’re gaining popularity now, they’ve actually been used around the world for centuries to support health and well being.

Functional mushrooms are different than culinary mushrooms. Most of them can’t be used in cooking in their raw form. They have to be extracted for your body to get the full benefits of consuming them. While there are about 10 functional mushrooms, to keep things simple, we’re going to focus on the benefits of three: Lion’s Mane, Reishi and Chaga:

 

Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Lion’s Mane is functional mushroom that has incredible cognitive benefits. This mushroom (resembling the flowing strands of an actual lion’s mane-no lion’s are harmed!), supports cognitive function, focus, creativity and productivity. Who doesn’t want more of those? You can find Lion’s Mane in Four Sigmatic Think Organic Ground Coffee, making your morning coffee even more effective, without coffee’s dreaded dark side. Not a coffee drinker? Start your day smart with Four Sigmatic Organic Plant-based Protein.

 

Reishi Mushroom

Reishi is amazing for stress relief and improving your quality of sleep. It’s not a sedative like some herbs. Four Sigmatic makes it easy to integrate Reishi mushrooms into your evening routine with Chill Cacao with Reishi. This good-for-you hot chocolate is a decadent treat and a great way to unwind at the end of a long day. If you already have an evening routine, Four Sigmatic Organic Plant-based Protein has you covered.

 

Chaga Mushroom

Chaga has been used in Nordic folk medicine and health care for hundreds of years and it’s no wonder. Chaga is full of antioxidant properties and great for supporting healthy immune function (which tends to suffer when you’re stressed). They also support longevity and help protect the brain and body against oxidative stress which can help with brain health in the long run. You can find chaga in Four Sigmatic’s Think Ground Coffee and Organic Plant-based Protein.

 

To get the benefits of any of these mushrooms, you need to use them daily. You’ll stop feeling the effects after a few days if you stop using them.

Things to keep in mind when purchasing these mushrooms: Purchase mushrooms that were grown on wood (grain free) or were sustainably wild-harvested. Look for fruiting body extracts, rather than mycelium to honor the traditional use and avoid grains.

Four Sigmatic has made it easy to focus, calm, boost or balance your day with beverages and supplements infused with these organic mushrooms. To improve your mental focus, productivity and reduce stress, try integrating Lions Mane, Reishi and Chaga mushrooms into your daily routine. We’re confident that you’ll see and feel the difference in just a few weeks.
