Mushroom Coffee and Elixirs
People have put some strange things in their coffee (like butter) for the reported health benefits, and the newest trend is adding in mushroom elixirs. Fox News reported that one brand specifically uses mushroom extract powders to create a highly concentrated form of mushrooms' health-promoting compounds. Although there is research that points to mushrooms' medicinal benefits, Health contributing nutrition editor and registered dietitian Cynthia Sass told Fox News that anything medicinal could have potential side effects and interactions. For example, chagas can cause blood thinning, and maitake mushrooms can interact with medications. Dietitian Malkani also states that medicinal mushrooms should only be taken under the guidance of a qualified health professional. Additionally, you don't need to take this product to get the health benefits of fungi.
