What’s an Adaptogen?

Adaptogens are plants and herbs that contain nutrients that can help your body respond to stress, anxiousness, and fatigue. Mushrooms are some of the best adaptogen sources, and they're an excellent natural remedy for rebalancing the body.

Adaptogen-containing functional mushrooms have been used in Chinese medicine for centuries, and they have emerged as an increasingly easy, natural, and safe way to combat the negative effects of mental and physical stressors. 

Adaptogens can be added to food and beverages or taken in other forms to help build resistance to stressful situations and maintain mental clarity. They work best when consumed regularly as part of a healthy diet.^‡

What Is the Point of Adding Adaptogens to Coffee?

Adaptogens can be taken in several different ways, including as supplements, liquid extracts, tonics, and powders. However, coffee lovers will likely prefer to consume their daily dose of functional mushrooms inside their morning cup of brew.
