When we started working with mushrooms, we were amazed at what we discovered! We knew mushrooms were a delicious addition to the diet, but did you know they also have incredible healing powers?

This low-calorie power food is full of fibre, low in fat, and packed with essential health-boosting compounds, antioxidants, and:

Minerals: Copper, niacin, potassium, phosphorus.
Vitamins: Selenium, vitamins A, B-complex, and C.

Mushrooms also contain insoluble chitin and soluble beta glucans that provide significant health benefits. Their bioactive substances positively affect the brain, heart, and gut.

Use Mushrooms for Immune System Health

A healthy immune system is essential for protecting the body from bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. Inflammation and oxidative stress can weaken the immune system, opening the door to diseases. Many mushrooms are both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, making them a powerhouse for neutralising free radicals.

Lion’s mane mushrooms, for example, boost immunity by increasing the activity of the intestinal immune system, thanks to their beneficial effects on gut bacteria.

Use Mushrooms for Nervous System Health

Your nervous system: the brain, spinal cord, and other nerves, transmits signals that control most bodily functions. Lion’s mane mushroom extract is globally recognised for speeding up the growth and repair of nerve cells.

All mushrooms contain ergothioneine, a sulphur-containing amino acid that serves as a powerful antioxidant, boosting both immune and nervous system health.

Use Mushrooms for Mental Health

Chronic inflammation is a major contributor to anxiety and depression. Studies show that lion’s mane extract regenerates brain cells and reduces anxious and depressive behaviours. Mushrooms promote learning and memory by strengthening brain cells and stimulating new neuron growth, improving cognitive ability and clarity.

Mushrooms’ Additional Health Benefits

Mushrooms have also been reported to:

Reduce inflammation
Lower oxidative stress
Protect against ulcers in the digestive tract
Reduce heart disease risk
Help manage diabetes symptoms
Stimulate digestion
Slow cell degradation.

Vitamin D From Mushrooms

Mushrooms are the only vegetarian food that naturally produces vitamin D. When exposed to sunlight, they generate this crucial vitamin in a process similar to how our skin synthesises it.

However, commercially cultivated mushrooms grown indoors may lack this benefit. Sun-dried mushrooms are an excellent source of vitamin D, supporting bone health, immunity, and more.
