Chaga + Reishi + Cordyceps + Lion's Mane
Welcome to the world of medicinal and adaptogenic mushrooms. Allow me to introduce:
Chaga: for antioxidants, overall wellness, and immunity.
Reishi: for calm, relaxation, and sleep.
Lion’s mane: for brain function, nerve damage and focus.
Cordyceps: for performance, adaptogenic effects, and increased oxygen flow.
Did you know? These mushrooms are enjoyed in popular beverages such as coffee, lattes, smoothies and hot chocolates?
Each mushroom mix-in tastes a bit different from the others, though the taste is more or less herbal and earthy, with some slight bitterness.
Reishi is the most bitter, and Lion's Mane the most neutral.
