Hi @mitchiesfoodrace Yes, I did gain noticeable health benefits from drinking mushroom teas/coffees.
In the morning I drink mushroom coffee with lion's mane and chaga from Four Sigmatic
https://us.foursigmatic.com
This combination of mushrooms and a low caffeine (40mg) coffee gives me great steady energy without the restlessness and edginess that occurs when you take too much coffee.
At night time when I want to relax I will drink Reishi mushroom elixir also from Four Sigmatic. This mushroom tea has the same effect as having a glass or two of wine without the side effects. I have recently been rethinking if I want to continue drinking alcohol. I love wine and beer but after reading about alcohol, it has almost no benefits and a lot of negatives. It makes you dehydrated and is full of empty calories. It is the only thing that we consume that has calories but does not make you full. In fact it makes you hungry. And when you have been drinking and become hungry, you often make bad eating choices. So, for now I am experimenting with Reishi mushroom tea as an alcohol replacement. So far I like the results.
In the morning, If I need to really focus on a task and "get into the zone", I will drink a regular or strong coffee (100mg to 200mg caffeine) and take a 100mg capsule of L-Theanine. L-Theanine is an amino acid that naturally occurs in green tea. It makes you relaxed but still alert. You can focus without being distracted. You cannot get enough of it just by drinking green tea without getting too much caffeine. That is why you take the capsule with coffee.
Interesting things you take, I also believe this mushrooms are very medicinal but haven't really experimented with them. I was thinking about it after I saw some videos of paul stamets but haven't got to it yet. Starting the new habbits is always taking a long time for me haha :)
And about the alcohol I gave that up a year ago but now every once and awhile I drink again but on completely different level than before and I am much happier with the results :) I don't have to get so wasted anymore :D
P.s. I have always been more a tea person then a coffee person but every once and awhile I like cup of coffee too :)
If you don't like coffee you can try Schisandra Berry Tea. http://www.medicinehunter.com/schisandra
I drink this as a tea in the afternoon when I do not want caffeine. It has a ton of health benefits, but I drink It because it increases energy and increases endurance.
Thank you for the tip my friend :)
