Let’s dive into Real Energy!

How Can Mushrooms Support My Energy?

For such a wide and interesting range of organisms, the field of mycology, the study of fungi, is still relatively small. Much of the study depends on amateur or citizen scientists. As a result, researchers are still discovering ways that fungi can interact with the human body and mind.

From their nutritional content of carbohydrates, many mushrooms also provide B vitamins. These vitamins are crucial in the body’s metabolism, and converting nutrients into energy.

Modern life can really take a toll on your energy levels. Daily stresses and fatigue can slow your body’s response time, leaving you feeling lethargic and disengaged. However, mushrooms just may be able to help.

Adaptogens and Real Energy

Certain mushroom species fit into a class called adaptogens. These foods and supplements possess certain properties that actually help your body adapt to and overcome stress, over time. Imagine how you could feel if your body’s stress response became fine-tuned and able to handle anything thrown your way.

In addition to their adaptogenic properties, fungi can also directly support your body’s energy production capabilities. As anyone who went to middle school biology remembers, the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. But what actually happens in those powerhouses?

The fuel that powers nearly every cell in your body is called adenosine triphosphate, or (ATP) for short. Certain fungi, such as cordyceps, may support your body’s ability to produce and distribute ATP, improving energy at the cellular level.

From their adaptogenic properties to supporting oxygen and already healthy blood sugar levels, mushrooms can play a crucial part in your daily energy. With more people than ever searching for alternatives to harsh stimulants, caffeine crashes, and other short-term fixes, how to you think mushrooms could fit into your active lifestyle?

Our Adaptogenic Real Energy Mushroom Blend

Real Energy is a blend of 100% mushroom fruiting body extracts, which are a cut above your average mushroom powder. Every batch is grown, harvested, and processed only by independent farmers that meet our strict standards. 

Here is the blend of fungi you’ll find inside Deep Brain Health:

Cordyceps*

A thin, golden mushroom, cordyceps has quickly become one of the best-known functional mushrooms. Why? Because of the four powerful ways it can enhance athletic performance and recovery.

Adding some cordyceps extract to your pre or post-workout routine could pay dividends when it comes to your energy and recovery.

Shiitake*

Delicious shiitake also packs some serious benefits. High in B vitamins and antioxidants, shiitake contains beta-glucans including lentinan, which may support both your mood and your memory.

A sprinkle of shiitake powder can support a range of benefits, from supporting your sleep and recovery, to optimizing your cardio routine. 

Poria*

Known by its nickname, Wolfiporia extensa has a long tradition in Chinese medicine, back perhaps more than 2,000 years. This mushroom seems to help clear the brain of harmful plaque build-ups that may lead to chronic disease later in life.

Reishi*

Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reishi mushrooms are becoming more and more popular in the West. As an adaptogen, Reishi performs a range of powerful services in the body, from fighting free radical stress to helping oxygenate and circulate energy within the cells. Often called the “herb of spiritual potency,” Reishi should be a part of your daily wellness routine.

Oyster*

There are more than 40 edible oyster mushroom varieties, and they’re all packed with beneficial compounds. One of these is called ergothioneine, an antioxidant that could support cognitive health, as well as promoting mental health.

Why a Mushroom Extract vs Mushroom Powder is Important

When it comes to mushroom supplements, shopping can be a very confusing experience.

As with any supplement, it is important to know the quality and nature of the product. With mushrooms and fungi being unfamiliar to many, it can be difficult to know exactly what to look for, and what separates the good from the not-so-good.

With our expertise, we believe it is important to look for extracts rather than powders. This is because, while mushroom powders are simply dried, ground up, and shipped out, extracts are made by extracting the beneficial compounds from the mushroom.

Through different techniques, mushroom extracts preserve the beneficial compounds, while leaving behind the indigestible chitin and other materials your body can’t use. 
This means that extracts are both more concentrated and more easily absorbed, so you get noticeably greater benefits. Click to learn more about why naturally potent mushroom extracts are such a difference maker for today’s needs.

The pace of life is faster than ever. Whether you’re an athlete, outdoor enthusiast, or just looking for real energy that doesn’t leave you jittery or crashing mid-afternoon, our Real Energy Blend can help.
