Exposing the Secrets of Our Mushroom Blend Powder

According to researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, as few as 10% of fungus species around the world have been described by science. This also means that possible 90% (or more) of species are unknown, undescribed or uncategorized.

This is staggering, considering the significance we’ve unlocked from the species that have been categorized.

Penicillin is derived from fungi; forests literally could not survive without fungus. Some mushrooms contain glutamate, an amino acid partially responsible for the satisfying umami flavor of so many foods.

This just scratches the significance of fungi, and in medicine what we know about mushrooms is only becoming more important by the year.

Which is why mushroom blend powders like ours are ascendent. In this post, we’ll break down the constituents and what they offer.

The Fantastic Fungi Behind the Blend

Our Immunity Matrix mushroom blend powder combines six superstar fungi that have long been revered for their supposed (and actual) benefits.

• Reishi: This is the “mushroom of immortality” that was hailed by the Chinese as a sort of panacea for more than 2000 years. But its use in traditional Chinese medicine is really just the tip of the iceberg. Reishi mushrooms may confer several important immune boosting benefits, such as that they enhance the performance of lymphocytes (which can fight cancer) as well as increasing the production of white blood cells. But that’s not all. Reishi may also be implicated in causing the death of cancer cells, as well as in promoting heart health and reducing fatigue. On top of that, this miracle mushroom is also considered as having a rich mix of antioxidant properties that can help prevent oxidative stress.

• Shiitake: Perhaps better known for its culinary rather than its medical benefits, shiitake mushrooms nonetheless are believed to confer a wide range of potential health and wellness effects. Like reishi, shiitake has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine; in this capacity, shiitake is believed to supply lentinan, a polysaccharide with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and even antitumor properties. But the potential benefits of shiitake mushrooms don’t end there. Shiitake is also believed to provide for some measure of cholesterol control while also upholding digestive and heart health.

• Lion’s Mane: A striking, stately mushroom, Lion’s mane is believed to support the production of NGF, or Nerve Growth Factor, which is critical for nerve production and helps support a healthy, acute memory. With respect to immune health, lion’s mane plays a role in reducing inflammation and supporting overall intestinal health. If that weren’t enough, lion’s mane is also believed to promote heart and brain health, lessen the effects of depression, and help control blood sugar and lessen the risk of ulcer formation. On top of that, lion’s mane, like so many other medicinal mushrooms, is particularly rich in antioxidants that help to mitigate oxidative stress.

• Turkey Tail: Turkey Tail mushroom is as aesthetically pleasing as it is medically significant. So named because it bears a resemblance to the fan of a mature male turkey, turkey tail mushroom contains two important compounds: PSP and PSK, or polysaccharide peptide and polysaccharide K, respectively. Both of these compounds are believed to boost overall immune health and may also have anti-cancer properties; for what it’s worth, PSK may help improve the body’s response to chemotherapy. Like the other mushrooms in our Immunity Matrix, though, the potential benefits of turkey tail are quite multifaceted. It may also support overall gut health and since it is rich in antioxidants, help prevent oxidative stress while lessening the effects of chronic inflammation.

• Cordyceps: Cordyceps is another mushroom with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, specifically as a constituent in Yang Jing tonic. Cordyceps is believed to confer select benefits with respect to athletic performance; specifically, it is believed to enhance circulation and it may also support hemoglobin production. With respect to immune health, cordyceps is equally interesting; it is believed to strengthen and support the immune system and also boosts cytokine production and tumor necrosis factor.
• Maitake: Maitake, also known as hen of the woods, is another mushroom with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. This mushroom contains beta glucans, immunomodulatory compounds that support the immune system by enhancing macrophage production and function. On top of that, maitake may be anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and it also may help support heart and digestive health, among other benefits.
