What to Look for When Purchasing Mushroom Coffee
Hey there! I'm Tatiana, and today I want to chat with you about something I absolutely love - coffee and mushrooms. If you're thinking about finding the best mushroom coffee, here are some important things to consider when buying it. Let’s dive in, eh?
Mushroom drinks can boost energy levels and offer potential health benefits, but choosing the right brand can be tricky. If you're asking yourself, "Does mushroom coffee work?" - we've got great articles on our website to help you out.
Mushrooms and Their Benefits
Different brands may use various types of mushrooms like Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Chaga, Maitake, Turkey Tail, and more. Each of these has unique health benefits.
Doing a quick search on the benefits of different mushrooms is essential. Some mushroom coffee blends include multiple types for increased energy and overall well-being. Whether it's improving heart health, supporting the immune system, or reducing stress, each type has something special to offer.
Fruiting Bodies vs. Mycelium
Not all mushroom coffees have the same quality. The two main components used are mycelium and fruiting bodies. Mycelium is the root-like structure of the mushroom, while the fruiting body is the actual mushroom you see above ground.
Look for mushroom fruiting bodies as they have high levels of beneficial compounds like beta-glucans. These can boost the immune system, improve cognitive function, and increase energy levels.
At What Do You Coffee, we use only fruiting bodies to ensure you get the maximum benefits. We are talking about mushrooms that traditional Chinese medicine uses for thousands of years. Some examples include Lion's Mane and Turkey Tail mushrooms.
Concentration of Mushroom Extract
Another critical factor is the concentration of mushroom extract per serving. Different brands may have the same amount of mushroom extract in each serving, but the concentration of mushrooms can vary.
For instance, 100mg of mushroom extract can be equivalent to 100 to 2000mg of ground mushrooms. Our mushroom coffee contains 5000mg of mushroom extract per serving, ensuring you get a potent and effective dose. This means more bang for your buck, and let’s be honest, we all love a good deal!
Caffeine
Mushroom coffee typically has less caffeine than regular coffee, which can help reduce feelings of jitteriness and anxiety. This is especially beneficial for those who are sensitive to caffeine. Make sure to monitor the caffeine intake in your mushroom coffee brand to make sure it meets your preferences.
Sugar or Sweeteners
No one wants unnecessary sugars or artificial sweeteners sneaking into their healthy drink. Sugar can spike your blood sugar levels, and artificial sweeteners often bring unwanted side effects.
Our mushroom coffee contains no sugar or sweeteners. We keep it pure and simple, letting the natural flavours shine through. This makes it a fantastic option for those watching their sugar intake or looking for a clean, guilt-free beverage.
Plant-Based Ingredients
For those of us who are mindful of what we put into our bodies, plant-based ingredients are a must. Not only are they better for you, but they’re also kinder to the planet.
What Do You Coffee is 100% plant-based, aligning with our focus on eco-friendly practices and wellness. We believe in making choices that are good for you and the world around you. It’s all about living that green life, right?
No Flavour Enhancers
Last but not least, watch out for flavour enhancers. These can mask the true taste of your coffee and often come with a cocktail of chemicals.
We proudly state that What Do You Coffee has no flavour enhancers. We rely on the rich, natural taste of our high-quality ingredients. You get the real deal with every sip.
Final Thoughts
When purchasing mushroom coffee, look for products with higher mushroom extract concentrations and lower caffeine content. Avoid products with added sugars, artificial flavours, and opt for plant-based ingredients. Additionally, choose products with fruiting bodies instead of mycelium.
