Mushroom Coffee by Defiant Coffee

What Is a Mushroom Coffee Blend Anyway?

For coffee lovers, there is nothing like too much coffee. However, too much coffee is not good for your health. Don't be sad, we have good news for you and that is this mushroom coffee. It is healthier than normal coffee and has less caffeine in it.

Mushrooms have been used in Asian culture as medicine for ages. Reishi mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat asthma, arthritis, and mental health issues like insomnia.

Modern studies also reveal that mushrooms have so many properties that are good for your health. But before your mind comes up with crazy DIY ideas with mushrooms lying in your fridge, here is what you need to know.

Not all mushrooms are medicinal. Some examples of medicinal mushrooms are Chaga mushrooms, Lion's mane mushrooms, Cordyceps mushrooms, Turkey tail mushrooms, and the one we talked about earlier, Reishi mushrooms. None of these are the mushrooms that you use in your soup. 

Mushroom coffee has lesser caffeine content compared to coffee.

Typical coffee is purely grounded coffee beans. However, the mushroom coffee blend has half coffee powder and half mushroom powder, thus giving your a delicious morning cup of coffee that will give you loads of energy without stuffing your body with caffeine.

For those who are unaware, caffeine is a psychoactive drug. Meaning, that it will affect the way your brain functions. It is a mild drug and is approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Coffee is said to help with migraine, weight loss, increased focus, and improving mood and has a lot of other health benefits. But there is a limit to how much caffeine you can consume. FDA suggests you can have only 4-5 cups of coffee every day, which makes up around 400mg of caffeine per day.

We are never satisfied with just 4-5 cups, are we? This is exactly where mushroom coffee becomes a complete win-win for coffee lovers. 

Mushroom coffee tastes just like coffee.

Mushroom coffee has around 50mg caffeine per serving, while coffee has 95mg caffeine per serving. Mushroom coffee gives you only half the caffeine of regular coffee. Do the math and calculate how many extra cups of coffee you can have (the maximum limit is 400mg of caffeine) if you use an instant mushroom coffee blend instead of regular coffee.

The best part is that the mushrooms don't impart any taste to the coffee. This means that you get the same coffee taste with added health benefits and are also saved from a coffee overdose.

We have been talking a lot about mushrooms being an ancient medicine. Here are all the potential benefits of consuming mushroom coffee.

Health benefits of Defiant Mushroom coffee blend

The Defiant Mushroom blend is 100% Organic Fairtrade Coffee, with the addition of Lion's Mane, Chaga, and Cordyceps for added benefits.

These are all the benefits you get with the Defiant mushroom coffee blend. We shall discuss a few of them further.

Cordyceps-

1. Increase ATP production
2. Improves Circulation
3. Increases oxygen utilization and endurance

Chaga -“the king of herbs”

1. Powerful Antioxidant
2. Immune system support
3. Adaptogenic- Creates balance within the body

Lion’s Mane-

1. Neuroprotective
2. Shown to lower anxiety and depression
3. Powerful Antioxidant
4. Promotes gut health

Lion’s Mane-

Oxidation is what leads to dark circles, aging, cardiovascular diseases, and also certain allergies. All beauty gurus will prescribe vitamin C serum, which has a high concentration of antioxidants and thus prevents aging.

Lion's mane extract and organic Chaga mushroom both have high antioxidant properties. Moreover, coffee on its own is a good source of antioxidants.

Natural source of nutrients

Mushrooms made into coffee are high in vitamins and minerals. The powder contains iron, B12, potassium, fiber, amino acids, and other minerals. The Lion's Mane mushroom also has a lot of protein.

Immunity

Since Covid 19, every brand out there has been marketing their product as something that gives strong immune support. That is not what we are trying to do here. Studies have proven that medicinal mushroom strengthens our immune system.

Mushrooms are high in Beta-glucan. It is a very essential part of our immune system and sadly our bodies don't secrete it themselves. Instead of sourcing beta-glucan from medicines, just add mushroom coffee to your daily routine.

Control anxiety and lack of sleep

Overdose of coffee can lead to anxiety and lack of sleep as caffeine impacts how our brain functions. But coffee made from mushrooms is a better alternative to it. The less amount of caffeine will stop hindering the normal sleep cycle of your body, giving you better sleep. Mushroom coffee can also reduce stress.

Please remember, coffee consumption is not the reason behind your mental disease, it just supports the main cause. We encourage you to consult a professional to seek help while also switching from coffee to mushroom powder coffee

Bottom line

Mushroom coffee blends are just like the coffee you drink now, but with medicinal mushroom extracts. It has less caffeine (almost half) compared to a regular cup. A lot of research is still going on to discover the full potential of medicinal mushrooms. Till then, brew some mushroom coffee and enjoy your day. Oh!
