Gynostemma is a powerful adaptogenic herb that reduces the negative impact of stress on the body, working to restore hormonal imbalance and relieve feelings of anxiety. It contains the largest amount of beneficial immune-modulating compounds, of any natural plant, called saponins. The saponins in Gynostemma called “gypenosides” are especially helpful for the immune, digestive, nervous, reproductive and cardiovascular systems.
Reishi has been the most revered herbal mushroom in Asia for over two thousand years. The Taoists consider it an ‘elixir of immortality’ that increases the spiritual shen energy. Reishi has been proven effective in aiding the treatment of arthritis, and it possesses anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Reishi is also an excellent anti-stress herb, known to ease tension, elevate the spirit and promote peace of mind by transforming negative energy in the body.
Chaga is the King of the Medicinal Mushrooms and is a highly prized tonic mushroom, long used in traditional Siberian, Korean, Chinese, North European and Scandinavian herbalism. It is found growing wild in old forests throughout the colder regions of Northern Asia and Northern Europe. It contains the highest amounts of anti-tumour, cancer-fighting compounds of any herb. It is also extremely high in nourishing phytochemicals, nutrients and free-radical- scavenging antioxidants that all work together to strengthen the overall functioning of the immune system.
Lion’s mane is nature’s gift to your nervous system! It’s the only mushroom possessing not one but two potent nerve growth factors (NGF), showing potential benefits for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Lion’s mane is a true nootropic enhancing cognition by improving the brain’s ability and changing its structure by growing new neurons. In Asia, it is said that Lion’s mane gives you “nerves of steel and the memory of a lion,” and from what science is revealing thus far, evidence exists that Lion’s mane mushroom confers the following health benefits:
• Improved cognitive function
• Nerve regeneration, remyelination, and increased Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)
• Improved digestive function and relief from gastritis
• Relief from anxiety and depression
• Immunosupportive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant
• Anticoagulant; improved lipid profile and fat metabolism
• Anti-tumour effect
Agaricus is a medicinal mushroom that was first discovered in Brazil, where the native cultures prepared it as a tea for medicinal purposes but also ate it as a food. They have so much respect for this mushroom that they call it “The Mushroom of the Gods”. This mushroom contains immune supporting beta-glucan polysaccharides which have been shown to have antiviral, anti-diabetic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Beta glucans stimulate the activity of natural “killer cells” which are a vital part of the immune system. These polysaccharides are believed to be among the most potent polysaccharides for immune health yet discovered, given their ability to modulate the immune response and promote cellular health.
Maitake is a medicinal mushroom that is edible when fresh and grows in clusters at the base of trees. It is native to the northeastern part of Japan and North America. When dried, its potent anti-cancer, antiviral and immune-enhancing properties are concentrated and often used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine.
Cordyceps mushrooms have been a staple in holistic medicine for centuries and have long been revered for their potent anti-aging, health-promoting properties. Considered an energizing adaptogen, cordyceps are often used to help fight fatigue, treat muscle aches and prevent weakness. Several studies suggest that cordyceps can boost athletic performance — improving physical abilities, endurance and stamina — partially because they boost the body’s supply of ATP, one of the primary sources of energy during exercise. This ATP boost also assists the body with the much needed energy for combating diseases.
