For physical and mental well-being, combine chaga and lion's mane.

Both chaga and lion's mane are examples of "functional mushrooms," a category that includes those that are both edible and natural but have additional uses beyond just supplementation. While many people choose one or the other, taking both is perfectly acceptable. In fact, by doing so, you'll be reaping the combined benefits of these two fungal powerhouses.What can you expect if you combine these two fungal powerhouses? We'll get to that later, but first, let's go over the benefits of each mushroom individually.

 

What are the advantages of chaga?

 

Although most people refer to Chaga as a mushroom, it is actually a sclerotia—a hardened mass of fungal mycelium. In the colder parts of the northern hemisphere, it prefers to colonise birch trees. Chaga mushroom   also known as the "king of mushrooms," is high in nutrients and has one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food. The main benefit of chaga is that it helps the body respond well to stress, but it also benefits the digestive system, the metabolism, the cardiovascular system, and even the skin.

What are the Benefits of Lions Mane?

The Lion's Mane mushroom has a shaggy, white fruiting body and grows on hardwood trees in the northern hemisphere.

Benefits of Lions Mane is well-known in the wellness world for its brain-boosting benefits, whereas Chaga is best known for supporting the immune system. Lion's Mane has been shown to support cognitive functions (such as memory, productivity, and focus), nerve cell growth, and improved mood due to two types of compounds found in this mushroom—hericenones and erinacines.

How to Get Useful Mushrooms

Functional mushrooms, unlike shitake and button mushrooms, are not available in supermarkets. Thankfully, you don't have to trek through forests to get your hands on some. Functional mushrooms are widely available online in a variety of forms, including tinctures, capsules, powders, teas, and even coffee.

However, not all functional mushroom products are created equally; therefore, it is important to purchase from a reputable company whose mushrooms are wild-harvested, properly extracted, and tested for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, microbes, and gluten.

A simple way to combine Chaga and the Lion's Mane

One simple and tasty way to combine these two fungal superstars is to mix Lion's Mane tincture with Chaga coffee, both of which we sell at Forage Hyperfoods.Our medium-dark roasted Chaga coffee, made with Arabica coffee beans and wild-harvested Chaga extract, has a rich, robust flavour and is available in three convenient forms: Keurig pods, Nespresso pods, and ground.
By drinking Chaga coffee, you will not only receive antioxidants from both coffee and Chaga, but you will also mitigate some of coffee's negative effects. This is because, when added to coffee, chaga promotes smoother digestion due to the natural prebiotics and polysaccharides it contains. Chaga mushroom  also helps the body adapt to any type of stress, which reduces coffee-induced jitters.

Build a better you by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a cup of piping hot Chaga coffee, to which you've added two drops of our Canadian-grown Lion's Mane tincture (available in original or alcohol-free). This simple routine is a great way to start the day and consume both of these medicinal mushrooms at the same time. This healthful drink can be prepared at any time of day, making it an ideal antidote to the afternoon letdown.
