Functional Mushroom Benefits

I have received samples for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. #ad #getumbo

Have you heard of functional mushrooms? I have not heard the term before and thought that both of us getting an education would not be all bad. UMBO is transforming the way that we view mushrooms and how we consume them with their potent functional mushroom supplements and foods that fuel focus, endurance and sleep!

All of which, I can use some assistance with. How about you? UMBO Co-Founder, Del Jolly states, “Mycophobia is real! Right now, we’re working hard to educate and also learn along with the general public. Being made up of athletes, artists, and activators, we know that the best performance can only come after our minds and focus are in the right place. Professional athletes, in particular, know what it takes to operate at peak performance and so discussing the health benefits with them so they can help advocate for the benefits is essential to this conversation.”

Jolly goes on to state, “Mushrooms aren’t just for pizza or Phish concerts! There are three categories of mushrooms. Gourmet, think cremini and portabella. Medicinal mushrooms, which contain the hallucinogenic psilocybin, and will eventually emerge as a treatment for various ailments such as PTSD or treatment resistant depression. And then lastly, Functional mushrooms. This includes Lions mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Shiitake and many more. These will typically be sold as a supplement. These mushrooms are adaptogens that can adapt to your body’s various needs.”

Functional Mushroom Benefits

I like the idea of functional mushrooms, being one that adapts to my body’s needs. After a few days of not getting all of the sleep that I set out to get and having an early morning this past Sunday, these bars came in handy. I was able to get through the day without feeling tired. I had extra energy which I was surprised about due to being out in the sun all day without a lot of sleep. The bars had the perfect amount of honey and mushrooms. I gave hubby one too and he loved them. Would I recommend them? I certainly would to those that need some balance, brain-boosting, and energy.
