Best Mushrooms added to your supplement plan

by Roger Lockridge

When athletes or fitness-minded people put together a supplement plan, they commonly think of pre-workouts, energy products, fat burners, and creatine. Supplements that help you reach certain goals are great, but there should be foundational supplements included that help you improve your overall health and wellness.

These supplements may not be as flashy as those that were previously mentioned, but they can play an important role because they will further support the other supplements you want to add to the cart. Simply put, the others won’t be as effective if you’re sick, unhealthy, or struggling with something that affects your overall wellness to begin with.

The Power of the Mushroom

The best wellness and health supplements are food-based, and they can serve multiple purposes. Take mushrooms for instance. They’re great on pizza or salads, but no one really thinks of them as a health food on their own. The fact is these funguses could be your body’s favorite food for multiple reasons. Having mushrooms on a regular basis can be a game changer when it comes to your fitness. However, getting your hands on different types of them can be a hassle. This is where BPI steps up to help you.

One simple way to reap the benefits that mushrooms offer is BPI’s newest supplement, Best Mushrooms. Best Mushrooms is a synergy supplement that combines the powers of four popular mushrooms into one simple formula that will help you improve your overall wellness on multiple fronts.

Lion’s Mane Mushrooms – Also known as Hericium erinaceus, Lions’ Mane mushrooms is an edible mushroom that can be found in North America, Europe, and Asia. It has been proven to have antioxidative, anti-cancerous, antidepressant, and hypolipidemic properties (1). It’s also believed to have brain and nerve benefits as well.

Reishi Mushroom – More commonly known in China as Ganoderma Lucidum, the Reishi mushroom has been used by the Chinese for life extension and health improvement reasons for centuries. A 2015 study has concluded that it can even help combat cancer (2) It’s also used commonly to treat cold sores, and is believed to be supportive for patients with Alzeimer’s Disease.

Cordyceps Sinensus Powder – Cordyceps is a rare mushroom that is found in the Himalayan Mountains. It also has a rich history in Chinese medical culture. It has the potential to stimulate cells and chemicals that support the immune system. Furthermore, it could provide support for the cardiovascular system and combat arthritis and osteoperosis(3).

Chaga Mushroom Extract – Last, but not least, is the Chaga mushroom, which can support cells from free radical damage, and it can combat oxidative DNA damage. This would be beneficial for digestive health, especially people that struggle with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). (4)

Conclusion

Take all the benefits of these four mushroom species, and combine them into one supplement, and you have a simple and effective way to improve your health and wellness every day.
