 You may have heard of medicinal mushrooms being used recently by a friend or a co-worker, but still know little about the up-and-coming new superstars in the supplements world.

What are Medicinal Mushrooms?

Simply put, medicinal mushrooms are natural “superfoods” that could best be utilized in improving the daily nutrients your body gets, elevating your focus and more. They may sound like a relatively new concept, but in actuality, their international usage dates back quite a bit further than you’d probably think.

How Far Back do These Medicinal Mushrooms Go? 

Mushrooms have been used for medicinal reasons across the past several millennia. In 450 BC, Hippocrates first mentioned mushrooms as being good for inflammation and wound cauterization. Later, the first native people in the Americas were known to use mushrooms for healing wounds, and an alchemist in the 5th century even documented several types of mushrooms and their benefits. References to their benefits spans over hundreds of generations. 

Previously, they were recognized for their bitter taste, but were thought to have healing powers and even the ability to regress disease. While that may not be directly true, they are still recognized to be linked tightly within numerous health benefits.

Fast forward to today, and now you’re seeing these mushrooms be recognized more prevalently in different communities and countries all over the world.

How are They Used as Nootropics Today?

Even though mushrooms are rooted in ancient history as medicine, these fungi have only recently been embraced by medical communities in the modern era. This primarily has been in supplements, which have been experimented with and studied heavily.

While there has always been an understanding that certain mushrooms could offer benefits to humans, mushrooms are also short-lived, diverse, and exceptionally difficult to study. Nevertheless, the last few decades have brought industry-changing advancements to light about these ephemeral growths. The more we create and inspire new discoveries with mushrooms, the more valuable the industry has been able to pull from their medical properties.

This has led to them being used as substances that can be beneficial to your focus, your productivity, and overall body wellness, otherwise known as nootropics.

Nootropics You May Use Today

For many, you’re already using nootropics today. Creatine, coffee, caffeine, and other similar substances can all be considered nootropics, as they are strategically crafted to potentially create some of the same benefits.

One of the primary difficulties that many users could run into is developing a dependency on any one nootropic, which ties into having a tolerance for the substance as well. The trick is to find the perfect variety of nootropics that’ll allow you to change it up consistently to avoid it getting dull, and also still get the potential benefits on a daily basis.
