When it comes to health and beauty benefits, mushrooms are simply magnificent, and with that in mind, mushroom bioscience experts, Hifas da Terra – the world’s number one researcher and manufacturer of medicinal mushrooms – have developed a rage of organic mushroom products which harnesses the incredible benefits of some of the most powerful varieties, including lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps.
Hania Opienski, naturopath and Mycotherapy Specialist Consultant says: “As a practitioner, I recommend medicinal mushrooms to everyone (unless allergic) to add to their daily self-care. As adaptogens, these miraculous fungi are safe for long term consumption, as they help the body to harmonise itself. I think they should be considered another food category, like ‘greens’ or ‘essential fats’, that people should be consuming every day. These vegan powerhouses provide an array of essential nutrients, some of which you can only get from mushrooms. This includes beta-glucans which not only balance your immune system, but also protect your cells from damage, and help you fight illness for better wellbeing all-round.”
Over 2,000 scientific articles have been written about cordyceps regarding its effect on the kidneys, liver and immune system, and most importantly on energy. Cordyceps also received attention after Chinese athlete’s broke world records without showing any symptoms of fatigue partly due to a special diet including cordyceps. Several scientific studies have also confirmed that cordyceps mushrooms increase the use of oxygen in the body, improving power, reducing recovery time and speeding up the removal of lactic acid. They have also been shown to improve libido and fertility in both men and women. Hifas Da Terra Cordyceps Vital Powder contains 100% vegan mycelium powder, naturally occurring beta-glucans, vitamins & minerals, and is antimicrobial and naturally antiviral.
Studies have shown that lion’s mane mushrooms can help with digestive health by fighting inflammation, which could be beneficial for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS). They can also boost immune function and encourage the growth of good bacteria in the gut. Made with 100% pure fruiting body extract of organic Lion’s mane, this powder is rich in polysaccharide probiotic fibre for a healthy gut lining. It also contains bioactive compounds to support the nervous system, as well as helping with memory and cognition.
Also known as ‘The mushroom of immortality’, reishi has been shown to help with anti-ageing and cell rejuvenation. This powder is also made from 100% pure fruiting body extract of reishi mushrooms and contains naturally occurring beta-glucans, vitamins & minerals, and is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Reishi mushrooms may also help with stress, sleep anxiety and irritability and immune function.
Reishi and Cordyceps contain high concentrations of active biomolecules such as B-glucans, natural antioxidants, B vitamins, essential amino acids, trace elements and minerals such as iron, selenium and zinc – all of which are amazing for promoting good skin health. These compounds have anti-inflammatory and healing powers, as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. Reishi and Cordyceps also act at a cellular level to protect proteins from oxidation, meaning that the skin retains its elasticity and firmness, which in turn prevents dryness and flaking.
Hifas da Terra have included reishi and cordyceps extract in their Mico-Repair CBD serum which has been dermatologically tested with excellent results, showing its use as a topical treatment for skin disorders including severe dehydration, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, peeling, scars and stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and other inflammatory and irritative skin diseases. Reishi extract has an anti-inflammatory effect, which has been demonstrated in atopic dermatitis and in the healing of skin wounds.
