Applied Nutrition Mushroom Superblend 160g

Applied Nutrition Mushroom Superblend – eight mushroom extracts in one powder

Applied Nutrition Mushroom Superblend is a food supplement in powder form that combines eight mushroom extracts: lion's mane, cordyceps, reishi, chaga, shiitake, maitake, tremella and king trumpet. All extracts have a ratio of 10:1 and are present in the blend in equal amounts – the daily dose of one level teaspoon (4 g) contains 500 mg of each mushroom extract. The product is unflavoured, so the powder contains only mushroom extracts, without sweeteners or flavourings. The 160 g pack holds 40 daily doses, which at the recommended use lasts almost six weeks. The product has been developed by Applied Nutrition, a sports and food supplement manufacturer from the United Kingdom.

Eight mushroom extracts in one blend

The ingredients of the blend come from different mushrooms – some are well-known edible mushrooms, while others grow on trees in the wild. Lion's mane is a white mushroom whose long, soft spines resemble a lion's mane; it grows on the trunks of broadleaf trees. Cordyceps is a fungus known from the high mountains of Asia. Reishi is a wood-growing mushroom with a glossy reddish-brown cap. Chaga is a black growth with a cracked surface found on birch trunks, including in the forests of Northern Europe and Estonia. Shiitake is one of the most widely cultivated edible mushrooms in the world and a common ingredient in Japanese and Chinese cooking. Maitake grows in large clusters at the base of oak trees. Tremella is a mushroom with a white, jelly-like, frilly fruiting body that is used in Chinese cooking. King trumpet is a relative of the oyster mushroom with a thick white stem and a small brown cap. A ratio of 10:1 usually means that ten parts of mushroom have been used to make one part of extract.

How to use?

Take one level teaspoon (4 g) of powder a day. The label does not specify what to mix the powder with, so you can add it to a drink of your choice, for example a glass of water or a smoothie. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, and take into account other products containing mushroom extracts if you use them at the same time. Keep the pack tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
