🧠 Mushroom Coffee and Diabetes: A Smarter Brew?
Mushroom coffee is having a moment — and for good reason.
As more people look for gentler, more balanced ways to start the day, functional mushrooms are finding their way into mugs everywhere.
Unlike traditional coffee, which can sometimes spike energy before bringing a crash, mushroom-infused blends are often described as offering a smoother experience. This is thanks to the inclusion of functional fungi like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Chaga — ingredients that have been traditionally used to support focus, calm, and natural resilience.
So what exactly is mushroom coffee? It’s typically a combination of roasted coffee and concentrated mushroom extract. You still get that classic coffee flavor and ritual, but with a potentially gentler effect on the nervous system and a dose of functional benefits.
Some people choose to replace their coffee entirely with a mushroom-only brew. These products, popular though they may be, have a tendency to leave out the lion's share of powerful mushroom benefits. Other users add mushroom extracts directly into their favorite beans. Liquid extracts — like those in the Vesper Mushrooms collection — blend easily into hot drinks and allow for flexible dosing.
The beauty of the liquid extract approach is flexibility. You can add these water soluble extracts into pretty much anything!
Whether you’re seeking more balanced energy, mental clarity, or a gentler way to enjoy your morning cup, mushroom coffee offers an intriguing path forward. And while it’s no silver bullet, many are finding that adding mushrooms to their daily brew aligns well with a more mindful, functional approach to wellness.
