Multimush: The Perfect Daily Wellness Blend

March 2, 2025

Mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, but modern science is now catching up, proving their impressive health benefits. While single mushroom extracts like Lion’s Mane or Chaga offer targeted benefits, a multi-mushroom blend provides a well-rounded, full-spectrum approach to wellness.

Enter Multimush—our signature seven-mushroom blend designed to support immunity, brain function, energy, gut health, and overall vitality. But what makes a multi-mushroom approach superior to using a single extract? Let’s dive into the science.

Why a Multi-Mushroom Approach is More Effective Than Single Extracts

Functional mushrooms each have unique bioactive compounds, but combining them creates a synergistic effect that enhances their overall benefits.

A study published in Nutrients (2021) highlights how multiple mushroom species work together to increase immune response, reduce oxidative stress, and improve gut microbiota diversity (1). Another study in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2020) found that blending mushrooms leads to higher bioavailability of key polysaccharides like beta-glucans, which are crucial for immune support and cellular defence (2).

Rather than relying on just one mushroom, Multimush brings together six of the most potent functional mushrooms for comprehensive health support.

The Seven Mushrooms in Multimush and Their Science-Backed Benefits

1. Lion’s Mane – Brain Function & Cognitive Support

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is best known for its neuroprotective properties which boost memory, focus, and productivity. Studies show it promotes nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that helps regenerate neurons and may improve memory and cognitive function (3).

A 2019 study in Phytotherapy Research found that Lion’s Mane extract improved cognitive function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment after just 12 weeks (4).
Another study in International Journal of Molecular Sciences highlights its potential in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression (5).

2. Chaga – Immune System & Antioxidant Powerhouse

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) contains some of the highest levels of antioxidants found in any natural substance, particularly superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polyphenols (6).

Research published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity (2020) shows that Chaga helps neutralise free radicals and may have anti-cancer properties (7).
A 2021 study in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy found that Chaga extracts modulate the immune system, increasing the production of beneficial cytokines (8).

3. Reishi – Stress Reduction & Sleep Support

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and supports relaxation.

A 2020 study in Molecules found that Reishi’s triterpenoids and polysaccharides play a role in reducing cortisol levels, promoting better stress management (9).
Clinical trials also show Reishi may improve sleep quality and support a healthy immune response (10).

4. Cordyceps – Energy & Endurance

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) is often used by athletes for its ability to enhance oxygen utilisation and ATP production, which improves stamina and endurance.

A 2016 study in Journal of Dietary Supplements found that Cordyceps supplementation improved VO2 max (oxygen uptake) in trained cyclists (11).
Research published in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2021) confirms its role in mitochondrial energy production, making it beneficial for fatigue and athletic performance (12).

5. Turkey Tail – Gut Health & Immunity

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is packed with prebiotic fibres and beta-glucans, making it an excellent choice for gut health and immune function.

A 2019 study in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology highlights how Turkey Tail promotes beneficial gut bacteria growth and improves overall gut microbiome diversity (13).
It is also known for its immune-boosting properties, with a study in Oncotarget (2018) showing its potential in supporting immune response in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (14).

6. Maitake – Blood Sugar Regulation & Immune Boosting

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is highly regarded for its ability to support blood sugar balance and immune health.

A study published in Nutrition Research (2015) found that Maitake extracts help regulate blood sugar and insulin levels (15).
Another study in International Immunopharmacology (2019) showed that Maitake's polysaccharides enhance natural killer (NK) cell activity, strengthening immune defences (16).

7. Shiitake – Heart Health & Immune Function

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is well-known for its rich nutritional profile, offering immune-boosting, heart-supporting, and cholesterol-lowering benefits. It contains lentinan, a powerful beta-glucan that has been studied for its ability to enhance immune response and overall well-being.

Heart Health: A study published in The Journal of Nutrition (2011) found that Shiitake mushrooms help reduce cholesterol levels by preventing fat absorption and supporting liver function.
Immune Boosting: Research in The Journal of the American College of Nutrition (2015) found that consuming Shiitake daily for four weeks enhanced immune cell function and reduced inflammation markers.
Antiviral & Antibacterial Properties: Shiitake contains natural antimicrobial compounds, with studies showing its potential in fighting off bacterial and viral infections.
