With further research and studies, new health movements emerge and begin to dominate the market. In recent years, functional mushrooms have been taking the industry by storm, thanks to new evidence backing their natural ability to support key aspects of balanced wellness.
Though functional mushrooms have been a staple of Eastern medicine for centuries, many on this side of the world may not be familiar with their powerful properties. That is why we have compiled this brief guide to functional mushrooms to learn more about their benefits and how they can help you live a more balanced and productive life.
What Are the Benefits of Functional Mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in different cultures. Today, numerous published research articles have established the health benefits of these unique and powerful mushrooms, leading to an increased interest in their use.
Mushrooms offer a unique array of health benefits due to their nutrient dense and phytochemical profiles. They are excellent sources of antioxidants, minerals (including selenium, potassium, and zinc), vitamins (especially B vitamins), enzymes, and essential fatty acids. Some mushrooms also contain high levels of bioactive compounds, which can influence the body's regulatory mechanisms and support overall health. Depending on the type of mushroom, specific benefits can vary from increasing focus and concentration to boosting immune and digestive health.
