Functional mushrooms have been trusted for centuries to support balance, vitality, and resilience. At 24 Hr Zen, we blend ancient wisdom with modern nutritional science to create functional wellness formulas that help your body and mind adapt naturally. Each mushroom extract contributes distinct benefits — from immune and cognitive support to calm, clarity, and recovery — working together to promote everyday well-being.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps spp.)
Benefit Summary: Traditionally associated with vitality, endurance, and healthy oxygen utilization; supports antioxidant defenses.
Key Research: Emerging human trials and reviews suggest endurance- and anti-fatigue support; larger, high-quality trials are still needed.
Why We Use It: Commonly included in daytime “performance” blends for stamina and focus.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Benefit Summary: Adaptogenic support for stress balance and immune modulation.
Key Research: Modern reviews describe immune-modulating polysaccharides/terpenes; human evidence exists but is variable and often adjunctive.
Why We Use It: Often included in wind-down or calm-oriented blends for overall resilience.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Benefit Summary: Antioxidant-rich; explored for immune and recovery support.
Key Research: Broader reviews include chaga for immune and oxidative-stress support; robust human trials remain limited.
Why We Use It: Commonly used in daily wellness blends for general defense and recovery.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Benefit Summary: Traditionally used for cognitive and nerve support; explored for mood and clarity.
Key Research: Early clinical work suggests potential for cognitive and mood support; larger, confirmatory human trials are needed.
Why We Use It: Common in “clarity/focus” blends for daytime mental sharpness.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
Benefit Summary: Immune-modulating β-glucans; traditionally used for metabolic balance.
Key Research: Reviews report immune-enhancing properties of maitake glucans; human clinical evidence is developing.
Why We Use It: Often included in daily defense blends to diversify β-glucan sources.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
Benefit Summary: Culinary mushroom with bioactive compounds (e.g., lentinan) explored for immune and cardiovascular support.
Key Research: Reviews discuss immunomodulatory properties; additional randomized human trials are needed.
Why We Use It: Used to round out β-glucan diversity in general wellness formulas.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
Benefit Summary: Known for immune-modulating polysaccharide fractions (PSK/PSP).
Key Research: Human studies (including adjunct settings) show immune-parameter support; additional confirmatory trials are ongoing.
Why We Use It: Frequently used as an anchor ingredient in defense/recovery-focused blends.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Cauliflower Mushroom (Sparassis crispa)
Benefit Summary: β-glucan–rich species explored for immune and tissue-support properties.
Key Research: Preclinical work and reviews report immunologic and other bioactivities; human evidence remains early-stage.
Why We Use It: Sometimes included in recovery blends to diversify β-glucan profiles.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.

Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus)
Benefit Summary: Traditionally associated with metabolic and detox support; under modern study for diverse bioactivities.
Key Research: Reviews summarize functional properties; emerging preclinical and early work explore metabolic and regenerative effects; larger trials are needed.
Why We Use It: Commonly positioned in ‘reset’ blends for day-to-evening transition support.
Disclaimer Note: Supplement use only; not a medical treatment.
