Functional mushrooms are non-psychoactive fungi used for health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Unlike culinary mushrooms, these varieties contain bioactive compounds that support brain function, immunity, and stress response. The most studied functional mushrooms are Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Chaga, and Turkey Tail.
Lion's Mane (Brain & Focus)
Lion's Mane contains compounds called hericenones and erinacines that stimulate nerve growth factor production in the brain. Research shows it may improve memory, focus, and cognitive function. Studies indicate potential benefits for mild cognitive impairment and supporting brain health as we age. Many people use it as a natural nootropic for mental clarity and concentration.
Reishi (Stress & Sleep)
Reishi is an adaptogenic mushroom that helps regulate the stress response. It contains triterpenes that promote relaxation without sedation. Research suggests Reishi supports immune function, reduces fatigue, and improves sleep quality. It's particularly useful for people experiencing burnout or chronic stress.
Cordyceps (Energy & Athletic Performance)
Cordyceps increases ATP production in cells, providing natural energy without stimulants. Athletes use it to improve oxygen utilization, endurance, and recovery time. Studies show it may enhance exercise performance and reduce fatigue. Unlike caffeine, Cordyceps provides sustained energy without crashes.
Vibrations offers a number of mushroom-infused products, from chocolates, to carbonated drinks, coffee, and tinctures.
