Taken as part of a regular dietary routine, mushroom adaptogens help people enter periods of homeostasis so that the body and the mind can achieve a calm central balance.

Similar to chaga, reishi mushroom powder is best taken when mixed with a beverage of choice. Here are some recommended ways to use reishi powder that will help you achieve a more calm frame of mind and increase the likelihood of getting a restful night’s sleep.

Lion’s mane mushroom benefits

Similar to chaga and reishi mushrooms, lion’s mane mushrooms are also formulated with adaptogens to support the body and the mind. At Rritual, lion’s mane mushroom powder has been enhanced with rhodiola rosea root, an adaptogenic herb that helps promote a more focused mind and cognitive performance.

The International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms has analyzed the ways that lion’s mane mushrooms can even affect symptoms that cause neuropathy in patients.

Shiitake mushroom benefits

Shiitake mushrooms are understood to be one of the oldest and most referenced adaptogenic mushrooms on the planet. They’ve been a staple in East Asian medicinal best practices for generations, providing support to the body’s immune system and enabling people to strive for good health and wellness.

As noted by Healthline, shiitake mushrooms are rich sources of vitamins and nutrients that are nutritious for the body. The adaptogenic properties of these ingredients help support the immune system so that your body can remain in a calm and functional state.

Cordyceps benefits

Cordyceps is a specific type of fungi that is thought to increase the body’s stamina, contributing to more effective and persistent exercise regimens. Scientists believe that cordyceps increase the body’s production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecular compound essential for delivering energy to the muscles.

Cordyceps also help reduce fatigue and boost the body’s overall strength. There’s also an underlying hypothesis that cordyceps may even boost antioxidants within the body, but more research is needed to verify that claim.

Adaptogenic mushroom supplements

As you can see, adaptogens are found in many organic products that can help the body respond to stressful situations. Adaptogenic mushrooms, in particular, are known for supporting the body’s ability to cope with stress in order to promote more healthy sleeping habits.

Adaptogenic mushroom supplements come in a wide array of products. These include capsules, tablets, brewed teas and, of course, the raw mushrooms themselves. However, pre-packaged plant-based mushroom powders are one of the best ways to incorporate adaptogenic superfoods into your daily routine.

We suggest you try including a scoop of your choice mushroom powder Rritual Elixir as part of a soothing hot beverage, anytime of the day, mixed in either water, coffee, or your favorite non-dairy milk.
