Power of Mushrooms & Melatonin

What do mushrooms and melatonin have in common? At first glance, the connection might seem a bit tenuous, the sort of link you’d expect from a marketer searching for a new angle. Melatonin is the “sleep hormone” after all, and mushrooms? For most people, the only association with sleep is Reishi, the traditional “spirit-calming” mushroom. Its use for supporting sleep and rest is well-documented in traditional medicine. However, despite mountains of anecdotal evidence, no human clinical trials currently confirm these effects. Furthermore, the mechanism behind how Reishi supports restful sleep is not fully understood.

I also see a more profound and perhaps even more important fungal connection with the production of melatonin, one that extends far beyond sleep. It lies in a little-known, vitamin-like nutrient found in all mushrooms called ergothioneine (ERGO). The more we learn about ERGO, the more it stands shly foragedoulder-to-shoulder with melatonin in safeguarding our health. Get ready to discover why ERGO is poised to become a significant topic in health discussions for years to come.
