Have you heard about this latest trend? ๐
Mushroom coffee is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: ground coffee beans blended with ground mushrooms or mushroom extract.
It's become more popular due to its health claims, such as decreased stress and inflammation, improved memory and sleep, and increased energy levels. It may also help improve your immune system.
The most popular kinds of mushrooms being used in coffee are reishi, lion's mane, chaga, and cordyceps.
Want to try it? Here are our thoughts & recommendations:
๐ Read the ingredients list on the coffee first. Mushroom coffee made with ground mushrooms rather than mushroom extract will give you more of the mushroom's nutritional benefits.
๐ Check with your dietitian or pharmacist that the ingredients won't interfere with medications you are currently taking.
๐ Remember that it might not meet all (or any) of the health claims it has. If you're having a significant issue with stress, sleep, or energy levels, you should talk with a health professional.
