The Science Behind Medicinal Mushrooms

Medicinal mushrooms like Lionsmane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Chaga are becoming increasingly popular in the world of natural supplements. But what makes these mushrooms so effective? Is it just a trend, or is there real science behind it? In this blog, we delve into the fascinating world of mushrooms and discover what makes them so powerful.

How do medicinal mushrooms work?
Medicinal mushrooms contain bioactive substances such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans and antioxidants that have a direct effect on your body. These substances support your immune system, increase your energy level and promote brain health.

1. Polysaccharides and beta-glucans:
   These substances strengthen the immune system by improving the activity of white blood cells. Reishi and Chaga are known for their high concentration of these.

2. Antioxidants:
   Antioxidants in mushrooms like Chaga protect your body from free radicals, keeping your cells healthier and giving your body a natural detox.

3. Nerve Growth Factor (NGF):
   Lionsmane contains compounds that stimulate the production of NGF, a protein essential for the growth and repair of nerve cells. This makes Lionsmane ideal for supporting your brain health and concentration.

4. Adenosine and cordycepin:
   These compounds in Cordyceps increase oxygen uptake and improve energy production in cells, leading to greater endurance and better athletic performance.

What does science say about these mushrooms?
The benefits of medicinal mushrooms are supported by a growing body of scientific research:

• Lionsmane:
  Studies show that Lionsmane can improve cognitive function and reduce symptoms of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's. Its stimulating effect on the brain also helps improve focus and concentration.

• Reishi:
  Studies confirm that Reishi helps to reduce stress and strengthen the immune system. It is even often used to improve sleep quality thanks to its adaptogenic effect.

• Cordyceps:
  Research shows that Cordyceps increases oxygen efficiency in your body, making it popular among athletes. It provides a natural energy boost without the crash of caffeine.

• Chaga:
  Chaga is one of the most antioxidant-rich mushrooms in the world. Studies show that it protects your immune system from inflammation and oxidative stress.

Why choose mushrooms in liquid form?
Many supplements are sold in powder or capsule form, but a liquid supplement like NaturaBoost offers unique benefits:

• Faster Absorption: Your body can absorb liquid supplements faster than capsules.
• Easy to dose: Ideal to add to your morning ritual or a cup of tea.
• High concentration of active ingredients: With liquid extracts you get a more powerful dose of the active ingredients such as polysaccharides and beta-glucans.

Who are medicinal mushrooms suitable for?
Medicinal mushrooms are a great choice for anyone looking to improve their health. Whether you’re a student looking to focus, an athlete looking to boost your performance, or just someone looking to boost their immune system—there’s a mushroom for you.
