Functional mushrooms, also known as medicinal mushrooms, are defined as fungus that can offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition.
With a long history in traditional medicine across the globe, their popularity has exploded in recent years as modern science continues to explore their potential to boost holistic health and wellbeing.
Below, we’ll outline the different mushrooms you can find in FungyBars and highlight some of their potential benefits.
Introducing Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), also known as “monkey head mushroom.” Its popularity has surged recently due to its potential neuroprotective benefits, particularly in stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF), which is crucial for neuron growth and maintenance. Research suggests that lion’s mane may enhance cognitive functions like focus, memory, and mood, making it a promising natural support for brain health. You can enjoy lion’s mane extract with active compounds, like hericerins and erinacines, in our Brain Booster FungyBar, paired with delicious cookie dough flavor for a convenient and tasty way to support mental clarity and overall wellness.
Introducing Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), often called the “mushroom of immortality.” This ancient medicinal mushroom has gained attention for its calming and adaptogenic properties, helping the body manage stress and support overall wellness. Rich in beneficial compounds like triterpenes and peptidoglycans, reishi is known to promote relaxation, support the immune system, and enhance resilience against stress. You’ll find reishi extract with active compounds in our Feel Calm FungyBar, blending a cinnamon roll flavor with a hint of soothing golden milk — a delicious way to unwind and find your calm, naturally.
Introducing chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), often called the “king of mushrooms” for its remarkable potential health benefits and potent antioxidant content. Rich in beta-glucans, polyphenols, and melanin, chaga supports immune health, balances the body’s stress response, and promotes glowing skin by protecting against oxidative stress. Traditionally valued for its role in enhancing vitality and resilience, chaga can also nurtures digestive health and overall wellness.
