Adaptogenic Mushrooms Supplements

Health and fitness products containing adaptogenic mushrooms are becoming increasingly popular due to their health benefits claims. But how are they supposed to work? It is important to note that adaptogenic mushrooms are not the same as hallucinogenic or “magic” mushrooms and they do not affect the mind or perception in any way, so let’s take a closer look at what these supplements claim that they can do.

What Are Adaptogenic Mushrooms?

Generally speaking, an adaptogen is a substance that works to reduce the negative effects caused by stress on the body. Adaptogens can increase the body’s resistance to biological, physical, and chemical stress, while also helping to promote normal functioning of the body during times of stress and protect the body against damage caused by stress.

Adaptogenic mushrooms have been around for many years and have been used in ancient Chinese medicine, as well as in Ayurvedic practices that originated in India. These practices were used to cure illness and disease, while claiming to offer a number of additional health benefits, such as improved brain function, increased energy, improved immune system, and balanced hormones.
