Introduction to Adaptogenic Mushrooms
Adaptogenic mushrooms are natural treasures that have been used for centuries for their incredible medicinal properties. These mushrooms help the body adapt to stress, strengthen the immune system and improve overall health. However, the lack of quality products with traceability and quality labels on the French and European market limits consumers' access to reliable options. That's why at Mush n Go we are committed to providing a high quality alternative.
Origins and Benefits of Adaptogenic Mushrooms
Adaptogenic mushrooms, such as Reishi, Cordyceps, and Lion's Mane, have been incorporated into traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for their revitalizing and cognitive effects. These mushrooms are rich in bioactive compounds like polysaccharides, triterpenes, and antioxidants, which boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and protect cells from oxidative damage. Lion's Mane, for example, stimulates the production of NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), promoting neuronal growth and improving memory and concentration.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Lion's Mane, also known as Lion's Mane, is a mushroom with a unique appearance and exceptional benefits for cognitive health. This mushroom stimulates the production of NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), an essential protein for the growth, maintenance and survival of neurons. By promoting neuronal regeneration, Lion's Mane improves memory, concentration and mental clarity, making it a valuable ally for those seeking to optimise their cognitive functions and support long-term neurological health. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help protect brain cells from oxidative damage and inflammation, boosting overall brain health. For sleep, Lion's Mane helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle by reducing anxiety and stress, promoting deep relaxation and quality sleep. In terms of energy, it improves mental clarity and alertness, resulting in increased mental and physical energy throughout the day.

Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis)
Cordyceps is a mushroom renowned for its revitalising effects on energy and endurance. It is commonly used by athletes to improve physical performance by increasing cell oxygenation and the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body's main source of energy. In addition to its energising effects, Cordyceps is beneficial for respiratory health, helping to improve lung capacity and reduce fatigue. It also has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, contributing to overall health and better resistance to infection. For stress, Cordyceps helps to balance levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, reducing the negative effects of chronic stress on the body. With regard to muscle pain, its anti-inflammatory properties help to relieve muscle and joint inflammation, facilitating faster recovery after intense exercise.
