Mushroom Coffee vs Regular Coffee
Mushroom coffee and regular coffee are popular[1] energizing beverages that benefit health and well-being. Both are consumed for enjoyment, prepared in tasty ways, or used for health benefits. So, what is the main difference between them? Regular coffee is a little “patate” or basic vs mushroom coffee. You can derive more health advantages[2] from Dodjivi’s Mushroom Coffee Mix, with organic functional mushrooms!
Comparing Regular Coffee vs Mushroom Coffee
Dodjivi Premium Healthy Coffee Mix combines ground arabica coffee with organic functional mushroom extracts in a microfine powder that mixes instantly and tastes just like coffee, but with special powers. The tops, or fruiting bodies, of mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane, turkey tail and chaga are extracted and dehydrated then blended with coffee. Regular coffee is prepared from the dried, roasted seeds of the coffee tree fruit[3].
Mushroom Coffee and Regular Coffee – Benefits
Both mushroom coffee and regular coffee can be anti-aging[4] and health-protective[5]. Both lower sodium levels, improve gut health, and support heart health[6]. Both can improve mood and support brain function[7] (better memory and cognitive performance, less Parkinson’s disease[8]). And both can positively influence blood sugar management. But mushroom coffee has polysaccharides, more terpenoids, greater benefits and advantages that upgrade your lifestyle!
Is Mushroom Coffee Nutrition Better Than Regular Coffee?
Both mushroom coffee and regular are excellent sources of antioxidants[9] and have phenolic acids, terpenoids, vitamins and amino acids. So, what special powers does mushroom coffee have vs regular coffee? 250 mL of medium roast arabica coffee has a 6725 ORAC antioxidant score[10]. Not bad! That’s like half a cup of blueberries. 250 mg of chaga mushroom (the amount in a serving of Dodjivi healthy coffee mix) has an outstanding ORAC value of 366,750[11]! And Dodjivi’s Immunity blend includes 750 mg more of other mushrooms, too, like reishi, lion’s mane and turkey tail!
Mushroom Coffee Advantages
Mushroom coffee is coffee upgraded with more anti-aging and mood-improving effects[12]. Mushroom coffee is less caffeinated and more adaptogenic than regular coffee, so it lifts stress[13] without rushes or crashes. Mushrooms enhance and stimulate[14] without causing anxiety, jitteriness, reflux, or irritating the bladder or gut. Mushrooms have distinct compounds not in coffee[15] that enhance sugar[16] and fat metabolism. Mushroom coffee’s polysaccharides support immunity and protect the liver, brain, skeletal and cardiovascular systems[17].
