Immunity-Maxing Mushrooms: The Six Secret Ingredients of a Unique Mushroom Blend Powder

Mushrooms have been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years, for their purported, and as it turns out, actual medicinal uses.

It’s little wonder to us that people, both primitive and advanced, should marvel at the mysterious growth of mushrooms; through no visible seeds, a ring of mushrooms could spring up from the ground literally overnight - captivating, to say the least. Add in a little superstition and you have a framing that’s ripe for ritual.

Yet, the supposed benefits of many mushrooms are not mythical, but factual, as (relatively) recent advances in science and medicine have shown. Therein lies the power of our Immunity Matrix mushroom blend powder, the unique effects of which will here be broken out by each of the 6 key constituents.

Turkey Tail

More properly known as Trametes versicolor, the turkey tail mushroom is so named because the bright shelves of this bracket fungi are quite visually akin to a turkey’s fan.

Yet, aesthetics are only part of the picture with this colorful fungus, which is well-regarded for a number of benefits that it can confer.

Among the most pointed of its potential benefits are that it contains PSP and PSK, or polysaccharide peptides and polysaccharide-K, or krestin, both of which are implicated in overall immune health.

Both of these protein-bound polysaccharides are well known for their immune-activating properties. (Interestingly enough, PSK is also believed to have anticancer properties, as well.)

If this were not enough, turkey tail is also believed to improve gut health, and as it is rich in antioxidants, it also serves a powerful anti-inflammatory role.

Reishi

Reishi mushroom, more properly Ganoderma lucidum, also offers numerous benefits, some of which may be immune-centric.

The polysaccharides contained within the reishi mushroom provide holistic immune support and also boost immune function at the cellular level, stimulating the activity of immune cells and cytokine release.

Not only is this a powerful immunomodulator, but this mushroom is well-known for many other benefits, including its rich antioxidant profile. It also stimulates ATP production to safeguard cardiovascular health, and may have liver-protective and stress-reductive properties.

No wonder it’s been called the King of Mushrooms and the Mushroom of Immortality.

Shiitake

Like the other mushrooms in this immunity medicinal mushroom blend, shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are capable of producing a wide range of immune-related benefits.

Shiitake mushrooms may be able to bolster gut immunity and boost cytokine production while also increasing activation receptor function, enhancing the effects and functions of immune cells.

Also like the other species in this mushroom blend powder, shiitake’s benefits don’t end there. They are also believed to improve bone health, reduce cholesterol levels, and thanks to their beta glucans concentrations, are considered highly anti-inflammatory.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps, also known as yang jing in traditional Chinese medicine, is a powerful mushroom with a surprising range of benefits, not the least of which are related to immune function.

The laundry list of immune benefits here is quite impressive. Cordyceps is believed to stimulate cytokine production, produce tumor necrosis          factor, and encourage phagocytosis stimulation in immune cells, among other immune-boosting activities. It even promotes nitric oxide production.

These mushrooms also support hemoglobin production and overall circulation, and as a result are used by professional athletes to enhance performance. They may be effective at improving energy production, elevating stamina, and speeding recovery after exercise. Unsurprisingly, they are also anti-inflammatory.

Lion’s Mane

Lion’s Mane mushroom, or Hericium erinaceus, is believed to support neurological health and cognitive function because it stimulates the production of NGF, or nerve growth factor, which encourages the growth and health of nerve cells.

Unsurprisingly, this constituent in our immunity medicinal mushroom blend powder is a potent immunomodulating agent. The key here is HEM, or Hericium Erinaceus Polysaccharide, which is believed to increase the phagocytic capacity of certain immune cells.

Lion’s Mane can also help reduce oxidative stress, thanks to its rich antioxidant properties, and may also regulate gut health by encouraging the proliferation of healthy gut flora.

Maitake

Maitake is as coveted for its culinary prestige as much as for its purported medicinal qualities - of which there are many, especially immune-boosting properties.

Maitake, or Grifola frondosa, is rich in beta glucans, and has been shown to show strong immunomodulatory effects by stimulating not only the cellular but the humoral branches of immune response.

Here’s the cool part, though - it has also been shown specifically to perform better when consumed alongside shiitake - which, as you now know, this mushroom blend powder also contains.

Because of its concentration of beta glucans, maitake may also be able to help regulate cholesterol and support overall cardiovascular health. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and may be able to help encourage brain health and lipid levels.
