How a Mushroom Coffee Blend Can Elevate Your Morning Routine.

Back2Life Mushroom-Coffee blend features both Lion's Mane and Chaga as well as a delicious arabica coffee. But why did we choose Lion's Mane and Chaga?

When it comes to functional foods that pack a punch, mushrooms should not be overlooked. Two varieties bursting with health benefits are lion’s mane and chaga. Science continues to reveal how these fungi can be powerful healers.

Studies on Lion’s Mane Mushrooms
Lion’s mane is an odd-looking nootropic mushroom that has been used medicinally in Asia for centuries. Its health effects are attributed to bioactive compounds like hericenones and erinacines. Research indicates lion’s mane mushrooms may:

Boost Cognitive Function - Lion’s mane extract given to adults with mild cognitive impairment showed significant improvement in mental functioning tests compared to placebo over 16 weeks. (Phan, 2017)

Enhance Memory - Animal studies found increased recognition and recall capability in mice fed lion’s mane versus controls. Effects are thought to stem from stimulated neuronal growth in the hippocampus. (Mori, 2008)

Reduce Anxiety and Depression - Preclinical models demonstrateanti-anxiety and antidepressant-like effects from lion’s mane associated with altered hippocampal neurotransmitter activity. (Ryu, 2018)

Relieve Inflammation - Compounds present in the mushroom, including a peptide called HLPL were shown to inhibit inflammatory enzymes and reduce oxidative stress through tested pathways. (Qin, 2018)

The Chaga Mushroom Difference
Like lion's mane, chaga that grows on birch trees contains antioxidants and anti-inflammation properties:

Fight Cancer - Several anticancer effects have been observed in laboratory evaluations, like cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and inhibited tumor angiogenesis. Findings showcase chaga's therapeutic potential against cancers like lung, breast, and liver. (Najafzadeh, 2013)

Lower Cholesterol - An extract given to rats fed a high-cholesterol diet was found to suppress increased blood lipids, benefitting cardiovascular health. (Guo 2020)

Antiviral Activity - Analyses reveal specific agents exert antiviral actions against influenza and hepatitis C infections through interference with viral replicative mechanisms in human cell lines. (Ohta 2013)

Give Your Health a Boost
With science continuing to show advantages, there’s no better time to incorporate lion’s mane and chaga.
