HEALTH REPORT
Mushroom magic C haga, lion’s mane, reishi and shiitake are more than just exotic names on a menu - they are powerful medicinal mushrooms. For centuries, traditional Asian medicine has used extracts of chaga (Inonotus obliquus) , lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) , reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and shiitake (Lentinus edodes) mushrooms as longevity tonics and immune-system boosters. More recently, these medicinal mushrooms have been considered a ‘nootropic’ food, offering cognitive benefits including improved memory and increased alertness. They are also effective adaptogens, meaning that they help the body to adapt to stress, and manage it better.

It has antiviral, antimicrobial and anti- inflammatory properties, and is a rich source of polysaccharides, which may offer benefits in treating hypertension and diabetes. It is rich in antioxidants and boosts digestion and clears skin. Lion’s mane: A powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-stimulant, lion’s mane may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and helps digestive health by fighting inflammation. It is also a well-regarded nootropic, supporting neural and cognitive function, it may help improve memory and reasoning, and decrease mental fatigue and fog. Shiitake: These contain lentinan, a distinct type of polysaccharide which stimulates the immune system and helps increase the body’s resistance to bacterial and viral infections. In Japan, shiitake mushrooms are used as anti-cancer drugs, in conjunction with conventional treatments. Reishi: This mushroom can help to enhance immune system and liver function and to lessen fatigue, reduce stress and improve sleep quality and duration. Some evidence suggests that reishi may also improve blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Medicinal mushrooms
