Functional Mushroom Nutraceuticals<\/h2>\n

When I talk about mushrooms, is usually something I\u2019m cooking, recently a mushroom risotto, grilled portobellos and not so long before that mushroom soup. However, the functional mushrooms that ended up in my protein powder and in supplements that I\u2019ve recently been taking are entirely different. Optimi<\/a><\/strong> just launched functional mushroom supplements in Canada, and we gave them a whirl over the past month.\u00a0 More on Self Care<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"functional<\/p>\n

Optimi provides high-demand functional mushroom varieties such as Lion\u2019s Mane, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Chaga and Cordyceps, all known for their significant health benefits. The company uses an eight-hour, eight-step hot water process with filtered and naturally mineralized water that breaks down antinutrients, the naturally occurring compounds that interfere with the absorption of the actual nutrients. The process also optimizes the fruiting body material of the mushroom so you can reap the maximum benefit when you ingest the capsules and protein powder that contain them. They are also venturing into psychedelic mushrooms, cautiously, and there’s a great interview with founder JJ Wilson in\u00a0The\u00a0Bay Street Bull<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Functional<\/p>\n

Optimi has a line of six functional mushroom-based supplements and a vegan protein powder featuring an advanced mushroom complex. All contain nutrient-dense fungi extracted from the whole fruiting body, of the functional mushroom.\u00a0 Benefits include stress resistance, immune support, energy, stamina, cognition and focus for enhanced physical and mental well-being. Each mushroom is stronger in one area. I\u2019ve found for me that the Lion\u2019s Mane in the Mindful<\/strong> is the one that is really helping me as I am super stressed and anxious frequently, and it helps me reduce brain fog and feel calmer and increases my ability to concentrate.<\/p>\n

\"product<\/p>\n

The protein powder is a blend of five functional mushrooms and a vegan protein powder. I combined it with non-dairy milk and some frozen bananas and cherries, and it was a great afternoon pick-me-up!<\/p>\n

The capsules include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 Mushroom Complex <\/strong>This formula has cordyceps, lion\u2019s mane, chaga, reishi and turkey tail functional mushrooms, known for their powerful immune-supporting, stress fighting, age-fighting antioxidants, and brain-boosting properties.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong> The Defence capsules are your protector and fighter. Chaga is known to deliver age-fighting antioxidants, immune support, and anti-inflammation benefits. Chaga formulation will help keep you resilient, fresh and in the game.<\/p>\n

Immunity<\/strong> The immune system is complex and requires balance to do its job of protecting against disease and illness. The turkey tail functional mushroom formulation does the immune-supporting heavy lifting for you.<\/p>\n

Longevity<\/strong> Information overload. Competing priorities. Stress is ubiquitous. Our reishi formulation can dial back the intensity and help get you into a calm, relaxed state. It will increase resistance to stress and experience the mood-boosting benefits of Longevity.<\/p>\n

\"functional<\/p>\n

Mindful <\/strong>Conscious, focused, sharp. Lion\u2019s mane functional mushroom is known as an effective brain-boosting natural drug and is reputed for its ability to enhance cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity. Try Mindful to optimize your flow state.<\/p>\n

Perform<\/strong> The Perform capsules are here to elevate, heighten and strengthen. Cordyceps is known to deliver energizing compounds, reduce fatigue and improve oxygen utilization to help you go harder and longer in all of life\u2019s pursuits.<\/p>\n

If you are looking to add some functional mushrooms to your supplement routine, Optimi is a highly effective option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
