Cordyceps
This mushroom supports gut health and your digestive system by promoting healthy gut flora, which are bacteria and organisms that live inside your intestines and help you digest food. Cordyceps may also improve oxygen consumption in your bloodstream which promotes workout endurance and post-workout recovery. Additionally, through the polysaccharides found in the fruit body of cordyceps, there may be immune system benefits linked back to the mushroom. (Source: Healthline)

Maitake
Maitake is a mushroom that does the most, for real. This mushroom contains amino acids, B vitamins, and minerals including copper, zinc, and phosphorus.
