The Current Market and Industry Trend of Mushroom Gummies
The last time you had a steak dinner you likely didn’t think about how it could affect your stress and anxiety levels. If you had mushrooms with that steak, however, it’s possible that they did. That’s because mushrooms are actually proven to reduce stress and improve your mood. But when you take them in specially formulated mushroom gummies you can do even more than that.
The Benefits of Mushrooms
It is important to keep in mind that the specific benefits of any individual mushroom extract are going to vary slightly. Different varieties will have a slightly different blend, for example. They might have different ingredients or different varietals of mushrooms. And those are going to give you slightly different levels and types of benefits.
While in general, you’ll get mental and physical health benefits, you may get additional benefits that include:
- Improved energy
- Increased stamina
- Antioxidants
- Refined gut health
- Enhanced productivity
- Reduced cholesterol
- Decreased risk of many diseases
- And much more
Research actually shows over 100 different potential medical functions served by mushrooms and other fungi.
Different varietals may also contain several vitamins, minerals, and antimicrobials all by themselves, like:
- Selenium
- Potassium
- Riboflavin
- Niacin
- Vitamin D
- Protein
- Amino acids
- Fatty acids
- Fiber
- Terpenes
- Steroids
- Anthraquinones
- Benzoic acid derivatives
- Quinolones
- Oxalic acid
- Peptides
The Uses of Mushrooms
We’ve used mushrooms in our foods practically since the beginning of time. Our ancestors used different varietals that were native to their lands and today we use varietals from all over the world to make high class dishes. With 25 different types commonly used in cooking, and over 2,000 available in the world, it’s no wonder that this food item is so in demand. And when you consider the fact that each has its own properties and ways of aiding as a medicinal product, it becomes even more important to consider mushrooms when you begin to look for healing and especially more natural healing.
For those who follow a vegetarian diet especially mushrooms become exceedingly important because of their high fiber, protein, vitamin, and mineral content. But they are an excellent addition to an omnivorous diet as well. And that’s only for the standard benefits. When we add in the potential medicinal properties we can see why so many people are beginning to look at ways to incorporate mushrooms into their daily lives without necessarily cooking them into their foods. This is where mushroom gummies have begun to grow in popularity.
Adding Mushroom Gummies to Your Daily Vitamins
While many people choose to take a variety of vitamins and minerals, mushrooms may not be one that you’ve thought of. However, mushroom gummies improve not just stress and mood, but also gut health and immune response. They’re intended to bring your mind and body to proper alignment and balance, or homeostasis. And they may be able to do that with a gummy that’s also:
- Vegan
- Non-GMO
- Lab-tested
- Safe
- Easy-to-use
The benefits of mushrooms cannot be overstated. In fact, there are entire branches of research devoted to locating, sourcing, and using these fungi in ways that maximize their health benefits. And there are now entire branches devoted to ways in which to encapsulate those benefits into an easy-to-use gummy that is available to individuals throughout the world.
Those of us who live in areas where mushrooms are easy to come by, whether in nature or at a grocery store, may wonder at the use of taking mushroom gummies when they can be easily added to our cooking. However, there are many parts of the world where it can be difficult to gain access to these mushrooms, and even for those with easy access, ingesting enough mushrooms to achieve consistent benefits can be difficult.
Mushroom gummies are simple to take daily, whereas eating a diet rich in mushrooms daily can be difficult for even those with the highest levels of disposable income and the easiest access to mushroom varietals in supermarkets and health food stores. Gummies are also an excellent option because they are inexpensive and can be made more easily available anywhere. And, even more importantly, they can still provide the level of benefits that come from eating fresh mushrooms, even with the lower cost and easier access.
Are Gummies the Better Supplement?
Of course, even if you are convinced that taking a mushroom supplement is a good idea you may be uncertain of just which format of supplement is the best way to go. While mushroom gummies may sound like an excellent option there are also powders and capsules that make the same promises and may seem more ‘traditional’ or more ‘pure.’
While this can be true, the downside is that these other forms are less convenient for others. For example, powders can be difficult to take daily because they require mixing into another beverage. If you’re in a hurry this can be difficult to do. Also, it’s more complex in general because it can cause a mess while you’re trying to measure out and mix your power and drink of choice.
Capsules can be just as simple as gummies but they often have a more pungent taste to them that makes them a little more difficult to take each day. On the other hand, gummies generally have a more palatable flavor to them. However, there is a downside to this aspect.
Gummies use added sugars in order to achieve their flavor, and they may have lower quantities of mushroom extract than other types of supplements. This means you may not see quite the same boost as you would by taking capsules or powders, but if you’re more likely to take them (which people are when they’re easy and taste good) they may still be a better option.
What Does it Mean for You?
