Yep.
Anyone try this stuff? Ryze, MudWtr or similar that are supposed to help with inflammation, and bunches of other things? Was considering giving it a go.
Mushroom Coffee or Tea?

I like the Ryze commercials. But, I've never tried it. If you try one of those, you'll have to let us know what you think.
I just ordered some Fenugreek tea made from seeds. It is described as having an earthy taste. I guess that means it's like drinking dirt water.
Supposedly, Fenugreek tea helps with multiple things including: lowered inflammation, weight management (acts as an appetite suppressor), hormonal balance, improved skin health, enhanced immune system, slower carbohydrate absorption, helps regulate blood sugar, soothes the stomach, and aids digestion. It sounds too good to be true. But, even if only one of the claims is true, it could be a beneficial addition to a diet. Anyway, I'm going to give it a try. I'll report back.

Those FB ads were what started me on this, but I dislike having to order products online rather than try some from a store. Will see what I decide to do about that. I also prefer mostly whole ingredients and I was reading they may have some powdered creamer of some kind in there. I will research more.I like the Ryze commercials. But, I've never tried it.

I just ordered my Fenugreek tea from Amazon. It arrives tomorrow. Amazon has both Ryze and MudWtr, plus a whole slew of alternatives. Delivery is fast in most instances.

I'm sure you know that none of those claims are FDA approved and they've been actively going after companies making these unsubstantiated health benefit claims.
sunvalleylaw
Yep.
Have you noticed anything as a result?
sunvalleylaw
Yep.
Yes. Harvard and some other such publications have said there could be some benefit, but perhaps just adding more mushrooms to your diet, including some of the fancier kinds, might be better. Was just curious if the alternative beverages could result in some benefit. UCLA says that at least, if it helps you replace some coffee and you are drinking too much, could help there at least. The other claims lack human proof.
Mushroom coffee: Worth a taste? - Harvard Health
What is mushroom coffee and what are its potential health benefits? Does it have any downsides? And is it worth the extra cost?...

Should you switch to mushroom coffee?
Mushroom coffee gives you less of a jolt than your normal java. Its fans say it packs a lot of health benefits in every cup, but the science is less certain.

I probably will just add more mushrooms to my food including some of the better ones for health benefits, and try to stick more whole food rather than packaged stuff. But still open minded to receiving more information that seems vetted. The FB sales ads are not tempting me that much. Seems expensive and a sales model that makes me suspicious.

Yep.
The universities seem to have similar thoughts.

Functional Mushrooms: What’s Up with These Fun Guys?

I take a lot of supplements. I definitely have noticed if I go without, but I’m not certain all of the supplements are beneficial. None seem harmful though.
Years ago, I started with one of those multiple ingredients supplements aimed at arthritis, inflammation relief. It helped a lot, but had one ingredient that I don’t want in my body, MSM. Don’t get me wrong, MSM is an amazing pain reliever (anti-inflammatory).
I discovered MSM years ago. But, I’m certain it caused kidney pain, due to stones forming. That’s not typical AFAIK. At the time, I came across a source that claimed that MSM use leads to kidney stones in certain individuals. Yet, I can’t find anything currently on the net to substantiates that claim.
I’m prone to kidney stones. It runs in my family. I also have Psoriatic Arthritis. I took a bit too many NSAID’s, injured my kidneys and ended up with stage 3 kidney disease. Fortunately, my kidney condition has been stable for 3 years. Also, I’m the only patient my Nephrologist treats that does not have hypertension.
My solution was to copy all the supplements from the bottle of that multi-supplement for arthritis, except MSM. I think the most dramatically helpful ingredients for me are Glucosamine and Chondroiton. It’s hard to find a bottle that does NOT include MSM. But, there is at least one manufacturer that still puts out the old school version of a pill with those two ingredients.
Ultimately, my treatment is a combination of drugs, vitamins and supplements. I’m doing much better at 61 years old than I was between 38-46. People used to notice I was crippled. Now, I have normal movement with only occasional, slight discomfort in my feet.
I’m mainly looking for a natural appetite suppressant. Caffeine works, but daily intake of caffeine is detrimental to me at this point. Supposedly, Fenugreek tea is a natural appetite suppressant, among the plethora of other snake-oil like claims.
There are other natural strategies for curbing appetite. One simple strategy is to drink a lot of water before eating a meal. It does seem to help make a person feel more full while eating less food.
I’m 6ft tall and weigh 210lbs which is probably fine for my health. That’s been my weight for years. But, I got down to 195lbs last year and really liked the way I looked. It lasted about 6 months.
Daily caffeine works wonders for me in terms of appetite suppression. But, I get less sleep, feel more tired, have more joint pain, clench my jaw and crack my teeth, with daily caffeine intake.

Psilocybin mushrooms have been found to have therapeutic benefits. Apparently, when I took them for recreation, I was also healing myself. They say laughter is the best medicine. Psilocybin Therapy Article

I've also consumed a product with lions mane (unsure of the exact quantity) for a month and did not notice any change in health or mental function I would attribute to supplement. I know that's not super helpful as any conversation of pros/cons/benefits/harmful effects probably is dependent on dosages to some degree
Edit: ive talked to my family physician, rheumatologist, urologist, nutritionist, and soon nephrologist about supplements and universally the answer has been a balanced healthy diet avoiding drugs, alcohol, sugar, trigger foods for specific conditions, etc. is the recommendation.

Yeah, no magic and I have worked on cleaning up my diet regarding several of those things. But if I can get a leg up on reducing inflammation and improve gut health (IBS issues) by eating some specific things, powdered or otherwise, I might try it. ALONG WITH the rest. Seems like most likely, this will be done best by avoiding trigger foods if I can figure out what those are for me, and eating some that are beneficial to the goals I have.

Check out the anti inflammatory diet or food recommendations. That's a frequent recommendation of your dealing with chronic inflammation

Do not ignore modern medicine. Not all drugs are bad, m’kay Mr Mackey.
My Psoriatic Arthritis is severe inflammation which twisted the toes on my left foot. I had to have surgery to remove the toe joints and pins through the small toes to straighten them. The big toe was fused, bent inward on purpose to allow me to get the foot into a shoe, and ski boot.
Supplements and proper dietary choices help and contribute to reducing the inflammation. But, the drug, Cosentyx, is doing the heavy lifting. $600 for 2 needles every 28 days is my CoPay. Yet, Cosentyx Connect reimburses the full amount to me via check.
