We use a patented hot water and steam extraction process to produce all our mushroom extracts. Our tinctures are the exception, for which we utilize dual hot water and alcohol extraction. Organic Mushrooms supplements are available to everyone in the form of extract powder, capsules, tinctures, and supplement gummies. Let us look at each of the mushroom supplements and what they mean:

Extract Powder – Organic Mushrooms can offer you the natural extracts of functional mushrooms in powder form. The fruiting bodies and mycelium of the mushrooms are double hot water extracted using a patented method – first with hot water and then with steam to offer you the extracted beneficial bioactive compounds of functional mushrooms in ready-to-use powder form. Please note that the extract powder is the purest form of mushroom extract without any fillers. 1/3rd of the teaspoon of extract powder equals 1 gram of mushroom extracts. The Extract Powder is 100% natural, vegan, Non-GMO & Gluten Free Health Supplement without any fillers.

Capsules – The extract powder is carefully filled in vegetarian hypromellose capsule caps for direct and easy consumption. The caps quickly digest in water allowing the extract powder to reach your gut easily. Each capsule equals 500 mg of mushroom extracts. The capsules are 100% natural, vegan, Non-GMO & Gluten Free Health Supplements

Tinctures – After the hot water extraction, the extract powders are stored in food-grade cane alcohol to create tinctures. Tinctures offer the fastest solubility among all mushroom supplements. The concentration of food-grade cane alcohol in the tinctures offers a strong taste and hence it is recommended to mix the tinctures into fresh juices. Each tincture dropper equals 1 gram of mushroom extract. Organic Mushrooms tinctures are 100% natural, vegan, Non-GMO & Gluten Free Health Supplements

Can you improve your digestion with Functional Mushrooms?

Digestion issues are a widespread problem across the world, not only for those getting old but also for young people and even kids in some cases. Anyone can face digestion problems in several ways such as irritable bowel syndrome commonly known as IBS, Constipation, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Heartburn, Celiac disease, Gallstones, Hemorrhoids, Peptic ulcer disease, Bloating, Diarrhea, Nausea, Abdominal pain, Food intolerances, Gastritis, Liver disease, Pancreatitis, and so on.

Gastrointestinal diseases can affect the digestive system from the mouth to the anus. There are two types: functional and structural. Functional diseases are when the GI tract looks normal but does not move properly, and they are the most common problems affecting the GI tract including your colon and rectum. Examples of functional diseases are constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Structural gastrointestinal diseases are when your bowel looks abnormal and does not work properly. Sometimes, the structural abnormality needs to be removed surgically. Examples of structural GI diseases include strictures, stenosis, hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, colon polyps, colon cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease.

There are several factors in your lifestyle that can upset your digestive system and its ability to keep moving. These include:

  • Eating a diet that lacks fibre
  • Not getting enough exercise
  • Consuming copious amounts of dairy products
  • Experiencing stress
  • Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement, possibly due to hemorrhoids
  • Overuse of certain medications that are anti-diarrheal, antacid medications, antidepressants, iron supplements, and strong pain medicines such as narcotics
  • Pregnant women can feel stress in their digestive system

Improving your digestive system can be achieved through changes in your lifestyle and diet. One can start by cutting back on fatty foods, cola, and fizzy drinks. Try eating and drinking slowly and quit smoking if you can. Also, do not chew gum, exercise more often and avoid foods that cause gas. Be mindful of sweeteners that can cause gas, such as fructose and sorbitol.

At the same time, we have functional mushrooms that function as natural digestive champions that can support your gastrointestinal health and overall well-being. The exceptional properties of revered Lion’s Mane mushrooms, Chaga mushrooms, Reishi mushrooms, and Turkey Tail mushrooms have been known to improve the digestive system and elevate your body and mind.

  • Lion’s Mane Mushrooms: Lion’s mane mushrooms are celebrated for their potential to promote a healthy gut microbiome, aiding in digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Chaga Mushrooms: Chaga mushrooms bring potent antioxidants to the mix, which can help reduce inflammation and support a balanced digestive system.
  • Reishi Mushrooms: Reishi mushrooms are known for their soothing properties, calming digestive discomfort, and promoting a harmonious gut environment.
  • Turkey Tail Mushrooms: Turkey tail mushrooms provide immune support, bolstering your body’s ability to maintain a well-functioning digestive system.

Organic Mushrooms has created a Wellness Bundle to improve your digestion system to be taken as a supplement in addition to your diet. For best results, the recommended daily consumption is 2-3 grams of functional mushrooms per day. Please note that this is not medical advice, and you should consult with a medical professional at your discretion before using any supplements for medical purposes.

Can Lion’s Mane help with Multiple Sclerosis MS

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) occurs when the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord. The symptoms of MS can vary from person to person and depend on the severity and location of nerve fiber damage. Multiple sclerosis is a condition that can affect people in diverse ways. The symptoms can come and go, or get worse over time, and can affect any part of the central nervous system. Some of the common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include problems with vision, walking or balance, thinking clearly, numbness or weakness especially in the arms and legs, muscle stiffness, depression, problems with sexual function and urination, while feeling very tired.

The causes of MS remain unknown, but having a family history of the disease may increase the risk. Although there is no cure for MS, treatment can help reduce symptoms, prevent further relapses, and improve the quality of life. Many people feel fatigue with multiple sclerosis. Ways to manage fatigue include:

  • regular exercise
  • healthy sleep patterns
  • avoiding medicines that make fatigue worse.

There is no exact proof of Lion’s Mane helping in conditions like Alzeimhers, MS or Parkinson’s as scientists are still investigating several chemical compounds in lion’s mane that may be neuroprotective, however it has proven to be beneficial to a lot of its users.

Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom that grows naturally in Asia, Europe, and North America smelling and tasting a bit like seafood. Lion’s mane mushrooms have been used in Asian cuisine and medicine for centuries. In the United States and Canada, it is considered a complementary, alternative, or integrative medicinal supplement. Lion’s Mane is believed to have properties that fight cancer, reduce inflammation and function as an antidepressant and antioxidant. It can support cognitive function, immune system health, mental health, and general wellbeing as it contains bioactive compounds with neuroregenerative properties. These compounds help to encourage the growth of nerve cells and protect against nerve damage. Erinacines and hericenones are two examples of these compounds. Some people believe that Lion’s Mane may also have compounds that protect against the inflammatory effects of MS as it affects the central nervous system. Lion’s Mane also contains carbohydrates that may help to reduce the buildup of abnormal proteins that can contribute to cognitive problems caused by MS lesions. Additionally, certain antioxidants in Lion’s Mane may help to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and stimulate the production of neuroprotective chemicals that help to extend the life and function of nerves.

The treatment for MS aims to achieve several goals such as reducing the frequency and severity of relapses, slowing the progression of the disease, managing symptoms, and improving the quality of life. To achieve these goals, specific therapies known as DMTs are used. These therapies are initiated as early as possible to slow the progression of the disease and prevent relapses. In the short term, steroids can be used to treat relapses. Other medications can also be used to alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, muscle tightness, depression and urinary or sexual problems. These medications do not alter the course of the disease, but they do help manage symptoms.

Before adding Lion’s Mane mushroom to your diet, it is important to speak with a medical professional. There’s limited research on the benefits of this mushroom, so it is best to consult with a specialist to determine if it is right for you. Additionally, rehabilitation specialists can help improve your quality of life and reduce muscle stiffness and spasms.
