There have been so many "breakthroughs" from eating beets to this new mushroom coffee for all kinds of miracle remedies. Is there any benefit at all and why can't you make it your self by pulverizing dried mushrooms of the same variety they use into powder and making the coffee yourself?

There is no such thing as a superfood. it's all bullshit.

Like the Acacia berry stuff. not only are the levels of good-stuff in them comprable to other berries (Like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries. Basically it's the same as, like, all berries.) you're importing them from central america which means they're not fresh, they're processed, and they've lost a lot of that good stuff by the time it gets to you.

So yes. anyone telling you that "XYZ" is a superfood? bullshit. That simple. It's just powdered mushrooms ("Adaptogenic mushrooms" whatever that means. looking at the ingredients list, it seems to just be common food shrooms.). While, yes, mushrooms are healthy, and can be delicious, There's nothing inherently special about this product. ("they" say it has antinfamitory and other of the typical dribble the natural-remedy crowd says of like... everything.... If there's an effect it's probably like "meh.")

Personally, eating actual mushrooms seems more... uhm. palatable.

I eat a ton of different mushrooms, living in the PNW, there's so much variety. My favorite is definitely fresh lobster in the fall. The only one with effects I can definitely detect is lion's mane. It has a great effect on my long covid brain fog, assisting greatly with lifting that fog. Otherwise, I just love the flavor of mushrooms. Had some fresh chantrelles in an omelette my partner made this morning. So yum (they're very woody).
