Best mushroom supplements, from capsules and coffee to tinctures and shroom gummies

Whether or not you’re a fan of mushrooms, the shroom boom is in full effect. Everywhere you look, you’ll see products that channel the health-boosting effects of humble fungi. From mushroom coffee to powders that boast improved focus, and gummies that offer stress-reducing properties, shroom supplements (you can find the best supplements reviewed here) come in many forms.

I’m not talking about chestnut or button mushrooms here, though. The types of mushrooms blended into these wellbeing products are known as nootropics – medicinal substances that supposedly enhance brain function in a variety of ways. Nootropics have been used in eastern medicines for thousands of years and have been studied for use in supplements since the 1970s.
