Thanks to coffee’s widespread popularity, some companies now offer new ways to squeeze extra nutrients into each cup, while also cutting the caffeine content (as too much caffeine has been known to cause symptoms such as restlessness, insomnia, irritability and gastrointestinal issues). Enter mushroom coffee, an alternative to regular coffee and made with functional mushrooms, which some claim can help relieve stress and even ramp up energy levels.

“Functional mushrooms, like Cordyceps and Lion’s mane, offer a sustained and balanced energy boost without jitters or crashes you can get from coffee. They’re great at enhancing focus and mental clarity to set you up for a productive day.”

These super shrooms are proven to support healthy cognition as well as delivering a multitude of other benefits such as mood enhancement, increased energy, and increased focus.

And it’s not even a new concept: adaptogens, powerful plants and mushrooms that act to help your body to manage stress, have been used in medicine for thousands of years.
