Some days, try as we might, our mind just doesn’t want to work as well as it should. Whether you have a bad case of brain fogginess or simply can’t find your keys, your memory and focus could use some help.
Enter the BrainBoost Mushroom Complex by Blessed Wellness, with a delicate blend of Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, and Reishi mushrooms. Clinical trials have shown evidence that certain compounds in these mushrooms, known as β-glucans, can enhance cognition [1].
Let’s take a look at these three power-packed fungi.
Shiitake
Shittake mushrooms, or Lentinula edodes, are native to East Asia, particularly Japan and China. These little antioxidant bombs have been cultivated for thousands of years and highly prized for their reported medicinal properties.
A symbol of longevity and vitality, shiitake mushrooms continue to be used for their reported health benefits to this day. They are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that improve gut health. Shiitake mushrooms contain compounds such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and lentinan, which have been studied for their immune-enhancing properties[2].
Shiitake mushrooms are also rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and protect cells from damage that free radicals might cause. Because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, shiitake mushrooms are believed to be excellent at maintaining cardiovascular health*.
Lion’s Mane
The Lion’s Mane mushroom, also known as Hericium erinaceus, is a strange-looking yet distinctive mushroom that looks like its namesake. It has traditionally been used to support brain health and cognitive function, but this powerful fungus also contains compounds like hericenones and erinacines, which have been studied for their neuroprotective and nerve-regenerating properties*.
Research on mice suggests that Lion’s Mane can help enhance memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance**. It is also believed to promote the growth, maintenance, and repair of nerve cells*.
In addition, the polysaccharides in Lion’s Mane are a prebiotic, which means it feeds the beneficial gut bacteria called probiotics that live in your colon. By ensuring you have a happy gut, the mushroom has been known to improve digestion.
Reishi
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), is a type of mushroom with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. Characterized by their shiny, reddish-brown cap, Reishi is believed to support the immune system and promote the body’s natural defense system.
The mushroom is believed to have a calming effect on the nervous system and is often used to improve sleep quality, support mental well-being and improve cognitive function*.
In addition, Reishi is also believed to alleviate stress and anxiety as well as promote relaxation*. This amazing fungus has even been used in clinical trials alongside other drugs for cancer treatment [3], although results are inconclusive.
