Medicinal mushrooms have been celebrated for thousands of years in Eastern and Western medicine as some of the most revered foods in the herbal tonic world. Backed by human studies, these mushrooms are known as “great equalizers,” profoundly nourishing and supporting a balanced immune system. Beyond immunity, they offer adaptogen-like benefits, potentially supporting the nervous system, organs, and even emotional well-being.

Organic 7 Mushrooms Blend from Z Natural Foods combines seven organic mushrooms: Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Shiitake, Maitake, and Red Reishi. Each mushroom contributes unique nutrients and benefits, creating a perfectly balanced blend for deep nourishment and vitality.

The Mushrooms:

• Turkey Tail: A powerhouse of beta-glucans, Turkey Tail supports immune health and gut bacteria balance. It’s a revered Qi and heart tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

• Lion’s Mane: Known as the nootropic of the fungi world, Lion’s Mane supports cognitive health, neuroplasticity, and nerve regeneration, making it vital for mental clarity and focus.

• Cordyceps: Famous for boosting energy, performance, and vitality, Cordyceps is a true adaptogen that strengthens the lungs and kidneys while enhancing stamina.

• Chaga: Packed with antioxidants, Chaga supports youthfulness and healthy inflammation response. Its high melanin content may protect DNA from oxidative damage.

• Shiitake: This tonic supports immunity, gut health, and oral health. It’s rich in nutrients that improve energy flow and digestion.

• Maitake: Known for balancing energy, supporting stress response, and calming the Shen (spirit), Maitake is a celebrated longevity tonic.

• Red Reishi: Known as “The Mushroom of Immortality,” it supports healthy aging, immunity, and emotional balance, nourishing the body’s vital energy and spirit.

How Mushrooms Work:

Mushrooms develop through three key stages: spores, mycelium, and fruiting body. The mycelium forms underground networks vital to ecosystems, while the fruiting body contains concentrated compounds like polysaccharides. Together, these components provide mushrooms’ health benefits. Mycelium is rich in bioactive compounds, supporting the immune system and the body’s natural communication networks.

Key Compounds in the Blend:

• Polysaccharides (beta-glucans)

• Nucleosides (like cordycepin)

• Antioxidants (phenols, flavonoids, melanin)

• Bioactive peptides and sterols

Benefits Backed by Research:

• Immunity: Polysaccharopeptides like PSP and PSK in Turkey Tail support immune modulation and may improve survival rates in cancer treatments.

• Cognitive Health: Lion’s Mane compounds such as hericenones and erinacines promote nerve growth factor (NGF) production, supporting neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.

• Energy and Stamina: Cordyceps enhances athletic performance and oxygen uptake, showing potential in improving high-intensity exercise tolerance.

• Antioxidant Power: Chaga, with its high melanin and betulinic acid content, is a potent antioxidant that supports cellular health and healthy aging.

• Stress Response: Adaptogenic properties in Maitake and Red Reishi help the body adapt to stress, balancing energy and calming the spirit.
