Medicinal Mushroom Tinctures: How To Benefit From Using Them
How is medicinal mushroom tincture made? Medicinal mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Cordyceps, Reishi, and others, contain bioactive nutrients like polysaccharides and triterpenes hidden behind a tough chitin exterior. By soaking them in alcohol or glycerin, these bioactive nutrients can be released and extracted to make tinctures.
What are the bioactive ingredients in mushroom tinctures? • Beta-glucans (for supporting immunity) • Triterpenoids (works as an anti-inflammatory agent) • Ergosterol (has antitumor and antioxidant properties) • Statins (may be able to lower cholesterol)
What do mushroom tinctures taste like? Most tinctures have a slightly earthy flavor. Certain species, such as Reishi, have a slightly bitter aftertaste. When you buy mushroom tinctures online, look for products made with glycerin. This chemical can mask this bitterness with its inherent sweetness.
What is the best way to take mushroom tinctures? After you buy mushroom tinctures online, make sure to take them orally because that is how they are meant to be used. You can ingest them any way you like! You can put it directly under the tongue, add it to your favorite drink, or put it into soft foods like soups and sauces.
Is there a best time of day to take mushroom tinctures? The answer to this question depends entirely on the effects you desire. If you take tincture for focus, energy, or immunity, you should consume it in the morning. Alternatively, take your tincture at night with dinner if you need it for relaxation or sleep.
