Father's Bundle!

Chaga

Chaga aka “the king of mushrooms”, has a long history of medicinal use and boasts amazing health benefits, typically found growing on birch trees in cold climates with the appearance of burnt charcoal due to the massive amounts of melanin it holds.

In Siberia, Chaga mushroom is sometimes called a “Gift from God” because of its reported health benefits, including what appears to be a testosterone-boosting effect, which is a vital hormone for overall health.

Chaga also contains various B vitamins, minerals (e.g: calcium, copper, iron, manganese, potassium, zinc), multiple phytonutrients including flavonoids and phenols, and a huge amount of antioxidant compounds. Several test tube experiments have suggested that triterpenes may be the compounds that give chaga its anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, pain relief, and immune stimulating properties.

Lion's mane

Lions mane or "Nature's Nutrient for the Neurons" has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, physiologically thought to be a treatment for ulcers in the gut while promoting good digestion - and energetically supporting general vigor - or 'Chi'.

The symptoms we generally associate with aging—like memory loss—are thought to be caused by factors in our nervous system such as shrinking neurons and damaged brain cells. Studies show that lion’s mane extract may actually support brain health by stimulating the creation of two important compounds: nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

NGF and BDNF are proteins that stimulate the production of new cells and strengthen existing ones. NGF also plays an important role in forming myelin, the sheath around nerve cells that helps brain cells do their job. BDNF increases brain plasticity, which helps your brain cells stay resilient in the face of stress or aging.

Cordyceps

Worth its weight in gold, literally. Cordyceps has earned its place in the functional mushroom hall of fame thanks to unique compounds that give the ascomycete fungus its energising, restorative and uplifting benefits. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cordyceps is seen to possess both Ying & Yan – nourishing and invigorating properties.

So, if they've ever forgotten your birthday... Or have taken to spending an unreasonable amount of time "reading" in the toilet, this might just be the perfect Father's Day gift for them.

More information on these mushrooms can be found in their individual product descriptions - as well as some links to clinical trials.

Our Father's bundles will be shipped Next Day with DPD, in a neat box perfect for gifting.
