What Minerals Should I Take? What Supplements Do I Need To Be Taking?

Supplements are getting confusing. We as a brand not only promise to deliver globally leading simple mushroom supplements but we want to tell you why we keep it simple. 

Mushrooms have 100s of vitamins and minerals, often unique compounds that they produce from the individual part of nature that each mushroom breaks down. 

A big trend right now is "mix-it-all-in-one", "get as many supplements in that mug as you can". It's a bad idea- and here's why.

How To Build A Supplement Stack

When you mix supplements you start to lose track of what is doing what, many mushroom coffees include herbs, fillers and additions that can react differently with people. Mushrooms don't- they adapt to everyone. 

That's why we keep it simple- and when building your supplement stack, go slow, and simple, allow each supplement a few weeks so you can recognise it, then continually adding or building your stack. 

What Minerals Should You Be Taking?

Simply put, as people we have some key mineral defficiencies, these can contribute to all sorts of onset conditions and day-to-day issues as well as keeping your body and mind from performing optimally for you. 

Pink Salt/Rock Salt- NOT Table salt. 

Table salt is most often defined as a single mineral sodium. That's because natural sea or rock salt has been processed to remove over 80 minerals. 

Ensure you are consuming Pink, Rock or Sea salt to get up to 88 minerals out the 102 your body needs. 

A great tip, is to have a little grain or 2 of salt before a drink, this helps the water get direct to the cells, if you notice you are weeing a lot, you probably need some minerals as the water is not getting to cells but is passing straight through.

Vitamin D

It's the big one. It's the sunshine in our lives. But almost everyone has a deficiency and because it is so profoundly important to the body and it's immuno-response you need to make sure you are getting enough. 

Sea Moss

A bit of a wild-card, but sea moss like natural salt has around 96 out of the 102 minerals that you need in it, so it's a great surplus addition with a whole host of additional benefits for you to explore. 

Zinc

Zinc is disappearing, we are getting less and less through natural sources, especially the food-chain, meaning it is absolutely paramount that you should be consuming a zinc supplement, it is responsible for one of the main mineral deficiencies people experience, causing immunity issues, and a big one is sleep, zinc works as a regulator for our sleep and is a key mineral contributing to the release of "sleep chemicals" in the brain, but ensuring you have enough, also helps the brain repair whilst you are asleep.

Magnesium 

Much like Zinc, it's roll is very similar in sleep, immunity and regulating your body and brain, they're both 2 of the most important minerals and equally 2 of the most widely deficient. 

Functional Mushrooms 

Ok we are biased, but functional mushrooms offer an uncapped ability for your body to improve and adapt, as the mushrooms adapt better and better to you over time. They are almost a free-source of benefits, as there is next to 0 calories whilst their nutrient profiles are so dense compared to their size that they are known as superfoods. 

Each mushroom breaks down a different part of nature, and that's why these top 5 functional mushrooms we are so passionate about are so powerful, because their byproducts are so well adapted to the human body, and the benefits they comprise when brought together are hugely wide-ranging and protective to it's benefactors. 

Conclusion

You are made of minerals, literally the earth, so get some minerals, build your stack and fuel your body with what it needs. We have all the knowledge, information and research, there is no excuse.
