Functional mushrooms - lion's mane is incoming

Hi
Are you aware of the benefits of including mushrooms in your diet? Mushrooms are incredibly healthy, but we need to think outside the standard varieties that we might see on shelves and look for the benefits that including a range of mushrooms can offer.
Some of the research that’s happening at the moment confirms the wisdom that’s known in people who live in harmony with nature. Popular amongst varieties are lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi and oyster mushrooms.
You’ll see them appearing more and more, although it’s likely to be included in another product like chocolate or coffee and branded as a functional mushroom. As long as you do your research into how much active fruiting body those products contain then they can be included in your diet and may offer some benefits.
Do you look clearly into the detail though, because we see many examples where this is all just marketing hype and there’s no substance behind it at all.
Quality really does count, and it’s pretty pointless using these products which are all hype and no substance and are probably far more expensive than they ought to be.
Instead look for quality products and supplements that use the active fruiting body of mushrooms or buy the mushrooms fresh and cook them yourselves.
On that note, we have Lion's Mane mushrooms due in this week with our veg delivery. They are listed on our site right now so you can add them to your next order.
We also have added Lion's Mane from Viridian to our supplement range and that’s also available to buy online or in person at Day Zero.
Much love
Mark, Holly, Jamie and all the team x
