The Ingredients

Energize Now with Cordyceps: Natural Energy with Cordyceps

Morning Kickstart with Cordyceps. Mornings set the tone for the day, and our Energize Now Cordyceps extract is your perfect companion. Cordyceps energy boost enhances lung capacity, blood flow, and stamina. Athletes have long harnessed the power of this mushroom without relying on caffeine or other addictive stimulants. 

Clinical trials have demonstrated that prolonged use of Cordyceps mushroom extract decreases physical fatigue by increasing ATP, the primary energy currency within our cells. Recent research has even suggested potential benefits for inflammation reduction and supporting healthy libido, making Cordyceps a versatile and essential addition to your morning routine.

Cordyceps offers a range of benefits when taken in the mornings. As mentioned, Cordyceps is commonly embraced by athletes looking to enhance their energy, stamina, and endurance without resorting to caffeine or addictive substances, making it a healthy and sustainable choice. One crucial reason for its effectiveness is its impact on our cells' adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels. ATP acts as a fundamental source of energy. By increasing ATP levels, Cordyceps bolsters our body's energy systems, providing athletes with the endurance and vigour required for peak performance [1].

In addition to its potential for athletic performance, Cordyceps exhibits promise in addressing burnout, a prevalent issue in today's fast-paced world [3]. Its key mechanism lies in enhancing cellular energy production, primarily through bioactive compounds such as cordycepin and adenosine [3]. By increasing ATP synthesis, Cordyceps fosters mitochondrial function and optimizes energy metabolism, thus countering the fatigue associated with burnout. This feature makes Cordyceps a valuable addition to the daily routine of individuals facing high levels of stress and exhaustion.

Cordyceps has shown notable effects on sexual desire and libido. Research indicates a substantial improvement of 66% in sexual desire when males and females incorporated Cordyceps into their routine [4]. For females, an impressive 86% improvement in libido and sexual desire was observed [5]. 

Cordyceps has also been found to effectively reduce iNOS expression, thereby lowering inflammation levels and illustrating its anti-inflammatory properties [6]. Moreover, Cordyceps showcases the ability to decrease inflammatory markers while simultaneously increasing the presence of anti-inflammatory markers [6]. This dual action contributes to a balanced inflammatory response and supports the body's ability to combat various inflammatory conditions.

Everglow Now with Tremella: Radiant Skin from Within

Afternoon Radiance with Tremella. In the afternoon, turn your focus to rejuvenating your skin and enhancing your natural beauty. Our Everglow Now Tremella extract is more than just a skincare secret; it's a centuries-old tradition in Asia. Tremella mushrooms are celebrated for boosting skin hydration and creating a youthful, radiant appearance. When ingested, they work from within, ensuring your skin stays luminous and bright, proving that beauty starts from the inside.

Tremella Mushroom Benefits

Antioxidants play a vital role in safeguarding our overall well-being. They are indispensable compounds that help our bodies counteract the effects of unstable molecules, known as free radicals, ultimately reducing the potential harm they can inflict on our health. When free radicals overwhelm our systems, it can lead to oxidative stress. If left unchecked, oxidative stress may result in cellular damage, which, in turn, can lead to a wide array of health issues, including premature aging and the onset of diseases [7]. 

Tremella mushrooms hold a unique role in overall health for their exceptional hydrating and antioxidant properties. In China, this functional mushroom has been treasured for thousands of years for its numerous benefits, particularly its positive impact on skin health, healthy immune system function, and disease prevention [8]. Recent research has shed light on Tremella's capabilities, which include modulating inflammation, promoting wound healing, combating oxidation, slowing down the aging process, and even providing protection against radiation exposure [8]. 

Tremella polysaccharides are widely used in topical skincare and cosmetics as valuable moisturizing additives [8]. This unique feature underscores their versatility and usefulness, as they offer internal health benefits and serve as external aids to maintain and enhance skin health.

With its natural immune support and protection against oxidative stress, the anti-aging benefits of mushrooms like Tremella make it a perfect addition to your mushroom supplement regimen.

Balance Blend: Mushroom Superfood Blend

Prep for Restful Nights. As the day comes to an end, find solace in the Balance Blend. When it's time to wind down and prepare for a peaceful night's sleep, the Balance Blend steps in to save the day. This powerful blend combines Reishi, Lion's Mane, Maitake, and Shiitake mushroom extracts to help you reset and find your inner balance. 

With high antioxidant properties, this blend addresses the effects of daily stress and the constant "fight or flight" mode, preparing you for the best night's sleep. Add ½ tsp (1000mg) of this potent mushroom extract blend to the beverage or recipe of your choice to experience the therapeutic effects and a rejuvenating night's rest. It's the perfect way to relax, regain balance, and prepare for the best sleep of your life.

Reishi Mushroom Wellness: Reishi for Sleep

Historically valued for their calming effects, Reishi mushrooms are integral to a nightly routine. Quality sleep is essential for overall health, with poor sleep linked to various ailments. Reishi has been shown to boost sleep-promoting neurotransmitters and positively affect the gut microbiota, influencing rest via the gut-brain connection [9].

In a separate study, Reishi's fruiting body extract indicated that a 3-day regimen may extend total sleep duration and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, promoting more restful sleep [10]. This effect may be attributed to Reishi's regulation of cytokines, particularly TNF-alpha, crucial for sleep regulation and NREM sleep promotion. Thus, stress reduction with Reishi also results due to improved sleep quality. 

Lion’s Mane Health Advantages

Incorporating Lion's Mane into your mushroom supplement routine can be very valuable to protect brain health against life's daily stressors. This mushroom contains hericenones and erinacines, unique bioactive compounds promoting neurogenesis and vital for maintaining mental function and memory as we age [11]. Research on mice demonstrated that these compounds could reverse age-related memory decline, particularly by stimulating brain cell growth in the hippocampus, the region crucial for learning and memory.

Lion's Mane's fruiting body also contains isohericerinol A, which boosts the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) [12]. NGF is essential for nerve cells' growth, development, and survival. A study showed that reduced NGF can impair memory and reduce brain activity, underlining the importance of cognitive health with Lion’s Mane [13].

Maitake and Shiitake Health Benefits: Mushroom Supplement for Longevity

Ergothioneine, a naturally occurring sulphur-based amino acid, is a potent antioxidant essential for cellular well-being and safeguarding against various health issues. Since the human body doesn't produce it, incorporating ergothioneine-rich dietary supplements like Maitake mushroom extract and Shiitake mushroom supplements into your daily routine is crucial.

Life stressors can elevate bodily stress levels, resulting in oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, in turn, is a known contributor to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and more [14]. Recent research has uncovered the multitude of benefits associated with ergothioneine consumption, from its potential to combat aging, reduce inflammation, and shield against oxidative stress. 

Additionally, it has demonstrated links to enhanced cognitive function, improved exercise performance, and a range of other health advantages. Thus, incorporating ergothioneine-rich mushrooms, particularly in the evening, can be a valuable strategy to counter the detrimental effects of oxidative stress and promote holistic health with mushrooms.
