Organic extract and powder Chaga

Chaga (oblique rust) is a part of traditional Russian and Chinese medicine. People believe in its ability to revitalize and calm the body and spirit.

In the chaga mushroom we can find beta glucans, flavonoids, sterols, but also a number of vitamins, minerals, melanin and betulinic acid. In traditional Chinese medicine, chaga can be associated with the nutrition of Gan (liver), Shen (kidney) and Xin (heart), the transformation of Tan (mucus), the revival of Xue (blood), the calming of the spirit or the support of defensive Qi.

Organic extract and powder Hericium

Hericium (Lion's Mane) is a fungus that has a strong place in traditional Chinese medicine.
Like other vital fungi, hericium is rich in polysaccharides - beta glucans, minerals, but also hericium specific - diterpenoids. But we can also find palmitic acid or provitamin D2 in it.
 
In traditional Chinese medicine, we can find a connection with hericity to strengthen Wei (stomach), replenishment of Pi (spleen), aid digestion, or calm the spirit of Shen. Furthermore, the Lion's Mane is mentioned in this medicine is regards to strengthening the activity of the brain or acting on the organ systems.

BETTER COFFEE

All grains are of organic quality and in their selection we also pay attention to aspects such as the support of agricultural polycultures, which help to preserve diversity. Growing coffee together with other crops offers space for the existence of local fauna and flora.

HOW DOES OUR COFFEE TASTE?

During the development of our mixture, we tried to combine the maximum amount of vital mushrooms in the product with minimal impact on taste. Nevertheless, the coffee has a slight bitter touch with a taste specific to mushroom extracts, but the resulting taste is still almost the same as classic coffee.

HOW TO COFFEE DIFFERENT?

Our mixture differs mainly by the high content of the fungal component, which is up to twice that of other products. Thanks to this, 1-2 cups a day is enough for you to achieve the recommended daily dose of vital mushrooms. In addition, in addition to extracts, which are mainly focused on the content of polysaccharides, we also use mushroom powders, which contain a larger amount of substances typical of mushrooms.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEGA and REICOR? 

We recommend REICOR mixture to more active people or people looking for a new dose of energy. HEGA focuses more generally on general benefits for the body. The choice is related to the effects often mentioned with the related mushrooms. Information on the effects of fungi, which are commonly available through many sources.
