Heard of the term mushroom stacking? And no, we’re not referring to some montessori sorting game, aimed at developing your child’s motor skills and coordination (yours on the other hand…). Mushroom stacking is in fact one of the latest buzzwords, referring to combining medicinal mushrooms with other adaptogens and antioxidants to enhance the benefits. Here is why it’s going to be one of the biggest trends of 2023…
Medicinal mushrooms are continuing to take the wellness world by storm, helping with everything from burnout to boosting libido, and with the Duchess of Sussex giving the trend her seal of approval by investing in a new US based company, the growth of functional mushrooms shows no signs of slowing down.
What is mushroom stacking?
Coined by renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, known from the Netflix series Fantastic Fungi, the term mushroom stacking refers to combining medicinal mushrooms with other adaptogens and antioxidants (stacking) to enhance the benefits. For example, combining Niacin (Vitamin B3) and the functional mushroom Lion’s Mane can provide, among other things, an improvement in cognitive functions.
Are Medicinal Mushrooms the New CBD?
The global functional mushroom market is thought to be worth around $23 billion, and as we’re in a ‘mushroom boom’, growth shows no signs of slowing down. So much so, that medicinal mushrooms are tipped to be the next CBD with research showing they can be used to effectively manage stress and anxiety, immunity, gut health, energy levels, sporting performance, focus, libido, skin health and sleep.
