Why these two products you might ask?
Following up on the New Years Eve post I made, mushrooms have the amazing ability to boost the immune system. For the two products we recommended, I will cover the four mushrooms that make them up. The main question that remains, “Why not have such a beneficial powerhouse of natural, organic, water soluble products to protect you and your family against the nasty cruds of cold and flu season?
First, as mentioned, all U.P. Chaga Connection ingredients are natural and organic, and the products available to the public are made on-site in a state-certified kitchen! In addition, when it comes to reducing environmental footprints, U.P. Chaga Connection takes extra steps by ensuring that the ingredients are harvested mostly right here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, with just a small supply coming from Wisconsin. Just as important, none of the mushrooms or hemp-derived CBD Oils are psychoactive, and the CBD Oil does not contain THC.
So let’s begin with the “Yooper Natural Blend.” This immune boosting tincture is made up of the following mushrooms: Reishi, Turkey Tail, and Chaga. Let me tell y’all, it sure does pack a punch against germs, free-radicals, viruses, and other harmful bacteria!
Reishi, also known as the “king of herbs,” and “the 10,000 year-old mushroom,” has been praised for thousands of years for their effects on longevity. Additionally, these fungi have been positively linked to lifespan expansion, and this is accomplished by boosting the health of the immune system and preventing abnormal blood vessel formation. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of other organic compounds found in reishi neutralize free radicals which can cause chronic diseases and premature aging. Possibly more importantly though, is that these mushrooms also contain beta-glucans, one of the most effective and powerful immune system boosters known. Other amazing benefits include cancer prevention, detoxification of the body, improved cognitive activity, anti-inflammatory properties, healthy respiration, lowered blood pressure, and boosted energy.
Next, we have Turkey Tail. Of all the 720 species of mushrooms, turkey tail mushrooms are known for their therapeutic purposes. Additionally, they are rich in vitamins and minerals; are great sources of potassium and riboflavin; and also contain copper. Included in this mushroom are also 18 types of amino acids; ergo sterol, which gets converted to Vitamin D on exposure to the sun; and beta-glucans. Due to the strong anti-viral and anti-microbial properties of turkey tail mushrooms, they can fight away various infections caused by microbes, including the common cold and flu. They significantly improve the immunity of the system and thus make them stronger to fight against disease causing germs. Other health benefits of turkey tail include: support during chemotherapy, controls diabetes, reduces inflammation, is rich in antioxidants, lowers cholesterol, aids in digestion, reduces hypertension, treats breast cancer, improves bone health, and treats human papilloma virus (HPV).
Last in the list of mushrooms that make up the “Yooper Natural Blend,” is the Chaga Mushroom. Widely used today by natural health practitioners, chaga is known for its antioxidant benefits, and has had such attention for thousands of years. In fact, this mushroom has the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity) scores of any food! That equivalates to 6.5 times more than Acai Berry, and is even higher than the highest ORAC foods including cloves, ground sumac, bran, cinnamon, and turmeric! The first things chaga does is protect the immune system and knock down inflammation. With antiviral and antimicrobial effects, drinking this tea or using the tincture can give your immune system a major boost against both common pathogens and general inflammation that can lead to chronic disease. Inflammation throughout the body is a leading cause of disease and discomfort, so if you are suffering from arthritis, IBS, gout or chronic headaches, this remedy can help! Chaga also works wonders to reduce oxidative stress and promote cell death in cancerous growths. Other conditions chaga represents as effective for include physical endurance, ulcers, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.
As you can see, the “Yooper Natural Blend” is a major immune-boosting powerhouse that is very beneficial to have in your medicine cabinet this cold and flu season!
The other product we recommend is called “Yooper Elixir.” This tincture is comprised of the Shiitake Mushroom, which has been cultivated for more than 800 years. These mushrooms are extremely beneficial because of their rich nutrient content which consists of B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, magnesium, and potassium. This is in addition to dietary fiber and a number of powerful antioxidants.
Shiitake helps boost the immune system and has certain messaging molecules that can improve the effectiveness of it. It also speeds up the system’s response time to potentially harmful allergens and other substances. One of the most crucial components of collagen (the main structural protein found in skin and other connective tissues) is copper. Collagen is required for the creation of all tissues, muscles, bones, blood vessels and skin in the body. Shiitake is the 4th most dense copper source available in our diets, and also aids in weight loss, inflammation reduction, improved circulation, improved digestion, reduces stress, lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, boosts overall energy, and fights cancer.
So there you have it! These are our recommendations to combat this cold and flu season with. Although these products are safe, cause no major side effects, and have no known drug interactions, we ask that you please let your consultant or sales representative know if you have diabetes, or are taking medications for thinning the blood or maintaining blood pressure. We will discuss in more detail with you dosing recommendations based on these facts.
Thank you for your interest and time.
