Species of Mushroom<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, different mushrooms offer different health benefits, so do a bit of research regarding the best type for your specific needs so you can choose the one that aligns with your health goals. Some more details on a few popular options, for your reference:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lion’s Mane<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been recognized for its potential to support cognitive health and stimulate nerve growth factor production, which aids in nervous system function. It may also support memory and help in relieving or managing stress and anxiety.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reishi <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is often referred to as the “mushroom of immortality,” believed to promote longevity and boost the body’s energy. It’s also thought to help reduce stress and anxiety by encouraging the release of endorphins and helping our bodies respond more appropriately to stress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cordyceps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are known for their potential to improve athletic performance and support mental health and respiratory health. Cordyceps can be used as a natural pre-workout supplement, as they boost exercise performance and help to improve heart health. They may also be effective at reducing anxiety and modulating the nervous system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chaga<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is full of vitamins and minerals, and is most commonly used to support the immune system and promote healthy cholesterol and blood sugar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Maitake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is known to support weight management and healthy blood sugar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Turkey Tail<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has made a name for itself because of its immune-supporting properties.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>2. Full-spectrum vs. Mycelium<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more popular mushroom supplements become, the more you may see distinctions made on product labels about which parts of the mushroom they contain. “Full-spectrum” means that a supplement includes various parts of the mushroom, including the fruiting body, mycelium, and spores of the mushroom, according to Cooney.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Mycelium is the root-like structure that serves as the vegetative part of the mushroom. It is responsible for sending vital nutrients up to the fruiting body,” Cooney explains. “The fruiting body is what is commonly referred to as the actual ‘mushroom.’ This is the visible part of the fungus that produces spores and carries on the mushroom\u2019s life cycle.”<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike \u201cfull-spectrum\u201d productions, some supplements only contain mycelium, which is usually grown on grains and may not deliver the full range of nutrients and bioactive compounds that a full-spectrum supplement would offer. Other types, meanwhile, only include the fruiting body of the mushroom. While<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9315710\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each part is still packed with unique nutrients<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you may notice a difference in potency or effects when consuming a full-spectrum product that provides a greater range of compounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Look for whole-food mushroom products that include the mycelium along with the fruiting bodies to get the most out of your supplements,” Michels advises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Extraction Process<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mushrooms contain both water-soluble compounds (like beta-glucans) and non-water-soluble compounds (like triterpenes)\u2014all of which offer unique health benefits. For that reason, it\u2019s worth checking if a supplement you\u2019re considering uses a dual extraction process. Dual extraction, which uses both water and alcohol to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35192002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pull out beneficial components<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ensures you’re getting the full range of active compounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, some research shows that choosing water-extracted mushroom supplements increases the likelihood that mushrooms’ valuable <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26082986\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">antioxidants stay intact<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, one study published in the journal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8704948\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Molecules<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found that acidic water extracted the highest amount of polyphenolic compounds from mushroom powders. Something to consider if you’re in it for the antioxidants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Certifications<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing where mushrooms are sourced from can help ensure their quality and reduce the risk of contamination. Choosing a supplement that meets qualifications for certain certifications can indicate that it’s of higher quality. You can look for products that are labeled “USDA Organic,” or “Non-GMO” to ensure the mushrooms are grown in healthy conditions that are free of certain added chemicals including pesticides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/legit-tiktok-health-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7 TikTok Health Trends That Are Pretty Legit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Cooney, organic designation is particularly important. “This means they\u2019ve been grown without the use of harmful pesticides in organic conditions, free from exposure to pollutants or toxins,\u201d she says. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs a result, they are much higher in nutrients and minerals than non-organic mushrooms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A seal from a third party, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usp.org\/verification-services\/verified-mark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Pharmacopeia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (USP), is also an indicator of a quality product, as this indicates the supplement meets strict standards for purity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about wild versus commercial mushrooms? Studies show that overall, commercially-harvested and wild-harvested mushrooms are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8810068\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">both rich in nutrients<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that aid in human health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Potency and Dosage<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the supplement provides a clear dosage recommendation, which should align with what’s considered effective, based on available research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michels suggests aiming for dosages within these ranges, based on current science:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chaga: 500 to 1,500 milligrams per day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lion\u2019s Mane: minimum of 1,000 to 2,500 milligrams per day\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reishi: 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams per day\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>6. No Additives or Fillers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some supplements contain fillers, binders, and other additives. In Cooney’s opinion, it’s generally better to choose a product with no unnecessary additives or unwanted ingredients, as these can potentially cause issues such as allergies or digestive upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, be aware that some mushroom supplements might be grown on grain or other substrates that could be problematic for those with allergies. If you have an allergy to grains, be careful about consuming any mushrooms grown in a substrate (a mix of soil and grains that helps fungus grow indoors).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Reputation, Third-party Testing, and Transparency<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any supplement, purchasing from a reputable brand that forthcomingly provides ample information about its products is crucial with functional mushrooms, says Cooney.\u2028A transparent manufacturer provides details about their sources and processes from start to finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, it\u2019s also wise to opt for supplements that have been tested by a third-party lab for purity and potency, and to confirm the absence of contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and mold. As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/health\/nutrition-healthy-eating\/lions-mane-mushroom-faq-a7979733707\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumer Reports<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> states, “The supplements that are doing clinical research or third-party testing for quality assurance are going to be more expensive. But you\u2019re paying for quality.” And, when it comes to supporting your health, you want quality, don\u2019t you? That\u2019s what we thought!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Form of Supplement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mushrooms can be taken in various forms, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/popular-herbs\/mushrooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">powders, capsules, tinctures, or teas<\/a>. Now, this is more a matter of preference than quality, but it\u2019s worth thinking about before investing in a product. Consider what will be a convenient and enjoyable addition to your routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you often make smoothies, for example, Michels recommends using a form like powder that is easy to add complementary ingredients to, such as collagen powder or other superfoods. Many powdered options are also easy to add to coffee, if you don\u2019t mind the earthy flavor. Of course, if you prefer to keep things quick and flavor-free, you can always opt for capsules.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mushrooms have been used for their potent health-promoting properties in traditional systems of medicine\u2014particularly those of the East\u2014for thousands of years.
