Mushroom Coffee

[MR BEEBS]

My social media has been hijacked by mushroom coffee ads. The ailment has spread to the no pics feed as well. Disturbing, but questions linger after being inundated by these ads. Has anyone tried any of these products? Ryze? Everyday Dose? Is there real relief for gut health/focus/blood sugar regulation/neuropahy? Am I a sucker for possibly wanting to try these products out?Is it all hot air or is there something to this? Curious… what say HBOT?

What are the potential health benefits of mushroom coffee?​

The idea behind mushroom coffee is simple: to harness the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms in a convenient and (hopefully) tasty coffee drink.
Mushroom coffee brands often cite the medicinal use of mushrooms dating back thousands of years to traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic practices. These coffee brands claim that mushroom coffee's benefits include improved mental and physical performance, better immunity, and more restful sleep. Some brands even claim that mushroom coffee may help with weight loss by boosting your metabolism and promoting fat burning.
However, there is very little research on medicinal mushrooms that includes humans. So while studies conducted in test tubes or animals do show some compelling health benefits associated with consuming medicinal mushrooms, the same benefits may not apply to humans.

The bottom line: Is mushroom coffee worth a try?​

Maybe. There are many health benefits associated with mushrooms. According to a recent review published in the journal Molecules, medicinal mushrooms popular in many fungi-infused coffee blends do have immune-boosting properties and may help regulate metabolism. And, thanks to high antioxidant activity, medicinal mushrooms may also help slow down the aging process.
But again, well-designed clinical trials on humans are lacking. And none of that research was conducted on mushroom coffee, so there's no guarantee that any health benefits will be retained after the mushrooms are processed and blended into coffee drinks.
So while you probably won't do any harm by swapping your normal cup of joe for a mug of mushroom coffee (and you don't mind paying extra for it), you'd be better off serving a side of shiitakes alongside your morning eggs and cup of java. They have fiber and are low in calories and fat — and they're delicious, to boot.
