Energy

Many people find an improvement to their energy levels after starting mushroom supplements, but we have two distinct top-picks for energy here at Birch Boys. Let’s discuss the 2 best mushrooms for energy. We’ll also discuss their additional benefits, so that you can make the best choice for your unique energy needs.

Chaga for Natural Energy

Chaga takes the lead as our top pick for physical and motivational energy. Its water-soluble polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble sterols provide a dual-action boost, making it a caffeine-free alternative to coffee. Renowned for its vigor, Chaga is ideal for those seeking an energetic kick without the caffeine (or even in addition to it - coffee and chaga are not mutually exclusive). Chaga also supports immune and gut health*, making it a great choice for anyone looking to optimize energy, immunity, and digestion. Learn more about Chaga here.

Lion’s Mane for Mental Energy and Clarity

While chaga offers physical energy, Lion’s Mane offers mental energy and clarity*. Its unique triterpenes, erinacines, and hericenones, are alcohol-soluble, setting it apart in supporting cognitive function*. Chaga and Lion's Mane together create a balanced synergy—physical and mental energy working in tandem. Lion's Mane also offers provides healthy nervous system support* and healthy mood support*.

Tea vs Tincture for Energy?

Birch Boys Tinctures are a double extraction, meaning that they offer the benefits of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds from fungi. Teas are a single extraction, and they only offer the benefits of water-soluble compounds. Both chaga tea and tincture will impart energy, but the tinctures generally offer a more profound effect than teas. However, if you cannot have alcohol, Chaga tea is a great option for energy.
