: The Grove Organic Reishi, is the Ganoderma Luicidum (Red Reishi) strain, she is the Queen of the Mushrooms and has been grown organically away from harmful pollution and is certified organic by the USDA and the EU. Reishi has been studied for many health benefits, including; anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fatigue, DNA support, organ health (brain and liver), hormone balancing and cognitive performance. Reishi is a great all rounder of our Medicinal Mushroom/Fungi family, which has earned it the traditional Chinese name the "Mushroom of Immortality; elixir of life”, used throughout history by Emperors, Taoist monks and sages, not only for the various health benefits but also for balancing the bodies spiritual and negative energy, as well as calming the mind. The Chinese also calling Reishi "Lingzhi" meaning; ling "spirit, spiritual; soul; miraculous; sacred; divine; mysterious; efficacious; effective" and zhi "(traditional) plant of longevity".
Reishi is the Queen in our Warrior kingdom.

: The Grove Organic Wild Chaga (scientifically known as Inonotus obliquus), grows in symbiosis with living silver birch trees, both doing their own natural thing, neither causing the other harm - quite a phenomenal match. Chaga contains significant amounts of bioactive antioxidants in the form of; polyphenols (flavanoids), polysaccharides (β-glucans) and melanin (responsible for the dark colour), as well as triterpenoids (betulin being one of them). Studies suggest that due to this unique combination of powerful nutrients, Chaga may help; support immune health, reduce inflammation, nourish DNA, act as an anti-viral, balance cholesterol, promote the bodies production of natural killer cells and support brain health — all of which are important when trying to accomplish homeostasis (balance and health in the body) and supporting the immune system. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) revere Chaga for its ability to promote health and longevity, while maintaining youthfulness, referring to Chaga as a "gift from god". Couple that with the "king of the mushrooms" title as well as all the science, you can't really pass up the opportunity to add this to your daily health arsenal. So, If you're looking to boost your immunity, Chaga is the cheeky little guy that takes the pole position on the Medicinal Mushroom leader board.
Chaga is the King to our Queen.

: This Medicinal Mushroom is a host fungus, The Grove Cordyceps CS-4 (6:1) is the Ophiocordyceps sinensis strain, which is also know as Caterpillar Fungus, it has been carefully cultivated in controlled conditions using modern fermentation technology.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has used Cordyceps as a tonic for rejuvenation, longevity, endurance and vitality for centuries, suggesting benefits such as organ health (kidneys and lungs), sexual prowess, mental and physical performance as well as strengthening the skeletal system (lumber spine, knees and ankles). Classified as containing both Yin (energy accumulated) and Yang (energy expended), although it is said to be more Yang than Yin, it supports balance (homeostasis) within the body. Cordyceps has many and varied health benefits, research has shown it has the potentially to aid energy production (by helping the body produce ATP), aiding virility, as well as physical and cognitive performance. Athletes pay particular attention to its ability in aiding them to go harder for longer (enhanced when taken together with Reishi as it helps reduce fatigue), whilst supporting the many systems in the body and homeostasis.
The fermentation method for Cordyceps CS-4 and water extraction enable the growth and production of the all important Polysaccharides and Adenosine, but unfortunately do not allow for the production of the Beta-Glucans as they are produced in the fruiting body of the fungi which is not produced when fermented. In comes Cordyceps Militaris... See below...

Active Ingredients
30% Polysaccharides, >2.5mg/g Adenosine, >12% Mannitol. Peptides (cordymin and myriocin), melanin, lovastatin, γ-aminobutyric acid, cordysinins, cordyceptin and sterols, nucleosides, sterides, extracellular polysaccharides, intracellular polysaccharides such as galactomannan, alkanols (such as D-mannitol), crude proteins, essential amino acids, multiple trace elements and some vitamins.

: Lions Mane contains large amounts anti-oxidants (beta-glucans and polysaccharides) which help to support the immune system in functioning optimally in a similar way that all other medicinal mushrooms do, but the part of Lions Mane that touts its uniquity among its fellow mushroom folk, is its ability to support the brain and nervous system, it does this by helping to repair and regenerate neurons, and in turn promoting cognition. How, well, the body has Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) protiens responsible for stimulating growth and also protecting neurons within the nervous system, helping them function properly. The hericenones within Lions Lane can help promote NGF, in addition to that, the Erinacines within Lions Mane can promote NGF within the brain as they are small enough to cross the blood brain barrier (a barrier responsible for making sure all the bad invaders stay out of the brain and don’t cause us harm).

Active Ingredients
10% Polysaccharides, 10% Beta-glucans, 1% Erinacine, Phenolic compounds, Hericenones, Triterpenoids, Sterols.

: In addition to Jelly Fungus, Tremella is also known as Silver Ear, Snow Fungus, Yellow Brain, and Witches Butter, used traditionally within Chinese Medicine as a key anti-aging product, in addition to helping treat dry coughs and asthma, supporting lung health, perfect for individuals in dry atmospheres or environments with poor air quality. It has also been used as a nutritive tonic for time of debility and exhaustion, improving energy levels after periods of weakness, such as; child birth, gastro, menstruation (of the abnormal variety) and constipation.
Tremella also contains an anti-oxidant polysaccharide that has been shown to have extraordinary the ability to retain around 500 times its own weight in water, giving rise to the name “Beauty Fungus” as its ability to retain water outperforms hyaluronic acid and glycerin, 2 expensive and commonly used ingredients in hydrating and rejuvenating beauty creams.
Topical use has also been shown to have the ability to increase levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) (an anti-oxidant enzyme that naturally occurs in the skin (dermis and epidermis) protecting it from free radicals), by helping to increase SOD levels in the skin, Tremella is able to help provide an anti-inflammatory, protective and regenerative effect.

Cautions

For details regarding contraindications please view the individual products. If you have concerns we recommend consulting your health care practitioner.

As with many things internet based, a lot of information is copied and pasted, has a dash of creative license, a sprinkling of Chinese whispers and boom you have a new superfood or a superherb. When we select our products we look for the most effective and the very best quality. So we research, then research some more, and provide all of that research here, so that you can make up your own mind.

All of these medicinal fungi have a very impressive line up of health benefits, below are the most prominent, but for further details, head over to their individual product pages.

IMMUNE HEALTH
 Having a weakened immune system and excessive inflammation can have many negative health implications, all Medicinal Mushrooms have been studied to suggest that they help modulate, improve, and protect the immune system—the system responsible for fighting off every disease—whilst at the same time potentially decreasing inflammation. Coupling compounds that may enhance immune system function and fight inflammation seems intuitive if you wish to feel and perform your best, Reishi, Chaga and Ophiocordyceps may naturally facilitate this—all on their lonesome—when combined it would suggest a winning combination.
Many studies have been performed surrounding the benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms and their ability to slow the growth or spread of various cancerous tumours, obviously science is still very active in researching the potential benefits for this terrible disease, but current studies suggest that Reishi, Chaga and Ophiocordyceps may potentially help as an adjunct treatment to: lymphoma, lung, colon, cervical, breast, prostate, and skin. 

ANTI-OXIDANTS
 Antioxidants play an important role when preventing the body from oxidising and thus put under more stress. The high anti-oxidants values within Reishi, Chaga and Ophiocordyceps contribute to many health benefits. Recent studies (2015) suggest that the anti-oxidant levels of Chaga and Ophiocordyceps actually increase when subjected to low levels of gamma irradiation.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
 Studies also show that when Ophiocordyceps and Reishi are supplemented in the diet over a 3 month period, the male hormone (testosterone) and the stress hormone (cortisol) ratios changed, which is great for athletes who are at risk of over-training or overreaching in the lead up to an event. Further studies suggest that supplementation with Ophiocordyceps can improve:
- exercise performance by increasing the metabolism as well as extending the time before becoming out of breath.
- endurance by lowering fatigue.
BRAIN
 Oxidative stress is implicated as a cause for various neuro degenerative diseases. Studies have shown that Chagas adaptogenic effects help in reducing the oxidation of the cells responsible for causing these types of degenerative diseases. Reishi has also been shown to potentially have positive impacts on brain function.

FATIGUE and DEPRESSION
 Due to the adaptogenic and immunomodulating qualities of Reishi and Ophiocordyceps, studies have shown that they may have the ability to aid the treatment of fatigue and depression—which often come hand in hand. This makes perfect sense, since having a compromised immune system coupled with excessive inflammation requires the body to work harder and thus you to feel less energised/fatigued. Once fatigued you are then less functional, mentally and physically, chronic fatigue can potentially lead to depression. Obviously fatigue is not caused or solved by one thing, but by looking beyond fatigue as the symptom and paying attention to the cause, invariably the fatigue could be helped and so could depression (that age old saying "prevention is cure").

CIRCULATORY (BLOOD SUGAR)
 Ophiocordyceps similarly to the other medicinal mushrooms, has also been shown to aid in the management of blood sugar, proving that this could be beneficial for those suffering from Diabetes. The fermented variety of Ophiocordyceps has been suggested to have anti-diabetic agents that may help those at risk. It has also been studied to suggest that Ophiocordyceps may help reduce diabetic induced endothelial dysfunction by reducing oxidative stress. (8, 18)

SUGARS and CHOLESTEROL BALANCE
 Studies suggest that when consuming all of these Mushroom/Fungi individually, they have the ability to maintain balance of the blood sugar, proving that this could be beneficial for those suffering from Diabetes. Chaga has been shown to manage cholesterol by lowering your bad cholesterol 'LDL' and increasing the good cholesterol 'HDL'.

The Life of Reishi
 Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) grows in dead trees, producing the spectacular red fruiting bodies that we consume. It is quite possibly one of the most powerful tonic ‘herbs’ we have access to, and just so happens to be one of the safest foods in the world. Plus, because Reishi grows on dead logs, it can easily be grown organically and accredited. At The Grove we have gone to great lengths to obtain the highest quality Reishi product for you, our Reishi has been grown in China as close as possible to how nature intended, and carries the USDA Organic certification for growing, harvesting and processing.

The Life of Chaga
 Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) grows on trees, and the tree of choice is the white and yellow birch tree, although it may also grow on other hardwoods like alder, elm and beech trees.  After 10-15 years of growth it is classified as Chaga, after 15-20 years it is classified as being most potent for medicinal purposes, developing best in very cold regions and it also appears that the more harsh the climate and the swings in temperature, the better the therapeutic quality of the Chaga. Harsh climate + birch forest + 20 years = high quality Chaga!

The Life of Cordyceps
 Cordyceps infects a host, usually insects or arthropods making it entomopathogenic, the mycelium invades the host in late autumn, the host will then hibernate for winter, when early summer comes around the mycelium replaces the host tissue, growing a fruiting body/stroma from the host (also called “the grass”)—leading to the Chinese/Tibetan name Winter-worm Summer-Grass. This wild fungus grows only in high-altitude regions of about 3800m above sea level, in cold, grassy, alpine meadows of the Himalayan mountains and is expensive (more than $500USD per gram), so our product is fermented for better yield.

The Life of Lions Mane
 Lions Mane grows in dead trees, producing the spectacular white cascading fruiting body. It is quite possibly one of the most powerful tonic ‘herbs’ we have access to, and just so happens to be one of the safest foods in the world. Plus, because Lions Mane grows on dead logs, it can easily be grown organically and accredited. At The Grove we have gone to great lengths to obtain the highest quality Lions Mane product for you, grown in China as close as possible to how nature intended, and carries the USDA and EU Organic certification for growing, harvesting and processing.

The Life of Tremella
Tremella likes to grow on deciduous hardwoods such as; oaks, willows, chestnuts, maple and sometimes eucalyptus. Native to Europe, the USA, Taiwan, China, Japan. It looks a lot like a brain, growing like a large jelly, with a wavy wobbly white-translucent fruiting body around 5-10cm in diameter, which once dried goes a slightly yellowish colour.

History of Reishi
 It is said that the Chinese first recorded this mushroom as ‘zhi’ during the warring states period (475-221 BCE) where—in the book of han—it was referred to as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality; elixir of life’. Emperors would send out parties in search of this great mushroom—but it was scarce—making it (when found) used primarily by royalty and the wealthy.

History of Chaga
 Throughout history, that we have found documented, Chaga has been used by many in many different capacities on many different continents.  ‘Chaga tea’ was the most common use historically—and even today.

History of Cordyceps
 Cordyceps is a family of around 400 species, Cordyceps Sinensis was renamed Ophiocordyceps in 2007, after it was found not to belong to the main family of Cordyceps. The name Cordyceps derives from the greek word "kordyle" meaning “club", and the latin "ceps" meaning “head". The origin of Cordyceps still appears to be a little mysterious, with many stories yet no factual evidence that we could find to substantiate them (feel free to send us your findings if you come across any).

History of Lions Mane
 Lions Mane grows primarily in North America, Europe and East Asia, and has been used for 1000's of years in traditional medicinal practices, with the ancient Chinese using it for digestion and referring to it as the "Spirit Plant" believing that mushrooms are the source of longevity and spiritual wisdom.

History of Tremella
Belonging to the jelly fungus family and has many different names; silver ear, white wood-ear, “white tree jellyfish”, “snow fungus” and the “beauty mushroom”. In the wild it resembles white, wobbly, gelatinous goodness, when dried it turns a yellowy colour and resembles a loofah. Generally it grows on fallen trees (oaks, willows, poplars, chestnut, chinquapin, maple, liquidambar, and eucalyptus), typically in Asia, North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Tremella was included in the Ancient Chinese Medicinal Book the materia medica by "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing”, the father of Chinese medicine, which goes back to around 200 A.D., back then, like many of the other revered medicinal mushrooms, Tremella was only reserved for emperors, royalty, or rich people.

CHINESE MEDICINE

The Grove principles and philosophies are very much aligned with those of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Chinese tonic herbalist is proactive in their approach to health, rather than treating disease, they carve a path to promote “radiant health” or “health beyond danger”. There is a similar Benjamin Franklin quote "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Prevention is cure is something we believe too.

Time for adaptogens

I’m a 46 yo wife, mother & working professional who is stressed and tired with sleep issues. It was time for functional mushrooms to be brought into my life to enhance my overall wellbeing and every day functioning. It’s working well for me especially coupled with clean food and lifestyle habits, I’m finding I’m clearer and more energetic and most importantly, I’m assisting my mental health with proper sleep. The Warrior Complex is a daily meditation for me - I have a 2L water bottle with the powder and I add honey - it’s a commitment to myself for self improvement in stressful times.

Another excellent product

The Warrior Complex is great. I switched from the mushroom complex because Warrior includes Tremella. So lots of benefits in one complex. I feel energised physically and mentally so would recommend.

Great product!

I love the warrior complex, it delivers on every front. I now buy my medicinal mushrooms exclusively from The Grove as they have superior ingredients, excellent pricing and their customer service is outstanding. Couldn’t be happier with all my purchases from The Grove.

I simply LOVE this company, Nina and her magical mushroom products. I can't be without this particular one...and when i stopped taking it (when ran out over here in London) it was the only time i have been sick in years!!! The warrior is the most amazing combination of everything i need to achieve everything i want in life....and I'll never be without it. Thank you Nina for your wisdom, grace, knowledge and support!! x

Cant say a bad word about The Grove

I was using the Lions Mane and Tremella, and went to the Warrior, its a great way to get all of the mushrooms in one hit, less fussing around. I do sometimes add a Lions Mane or Tremella boost, but the warrior is my go to staple. I feel great nd its got the goods.

Perfection

The Grove Mushrooms powders are the best I have found and I have tried A LOT! The more I use their products the better the results. Medicinal mushrooms are quite literally the best anti-stress and nourishing product you can use. After taking it I can instantly see results, i’m calmer and more relaxed. Love them all and recommend the grove.

Thank you to the creator of The Grove for your honesty and love.

The whole company just has that helpful feel good factor. Any question I have they answer honestly, not wanting to push sales on to you, but wanting to find what’s best for you even if they don’t get a sale. The ethics and product of this company rock.

Love these products. And great Service.

They mix great. They taste great. They do what they say they do… they don’t work over night, they not a quick fix but if you keep at it and are consistent and religious, your body will thank you, mine did. Thank you.

Best Quality and Ethically Sourced

The best quality ethically sourced medicinal mushrooms. Highly recommend the chocelix and ashwagandha. Love they have sustainable packaging too!

A converted sceptic. Singing the Groves Praises.

OK, I am gonna say that I was a little skeptical on how the products would be… man, how I was wrong. I moved to The Grove for many reasons, health, focus, bad experience with other companies, fake products…. as I said, I was a wary, new company, new products, especially after having had bad products from another company. Well, I can 100% say I am over the moon with the products - I feel GREAT, like super great. I feel better than I have in years! AMAZING. The blend mixes up so nicely and tastes amazing. Then the I am 100% converted and singing The Groves praises to everyone!!....ahahaha

I was so excited to try these and reduce my plastic use.

When I realised that the 100g bags from The Grove were compostable, I had to give them a go as I knew they were doing good and really thinking about all things big and small. I’ve used the warrior for about five weeks now and I have to say its worked really well! I will 100% keep on using this well into the future! If there’s anyone reading this who is unsure about trying them, trust me they are excellent for your body and great for the environment!
