Adaptogens + Mushrooms: A Guide to Total Wellness

When it comes to supplements, clarity is rare. Shelves are lined with flashy labels and bold promises, but few products are designed with the body’s interconnected systems in mind.

Adaptogens + Mushrooms: A Guide to Total Wellness

Amidst the noise, two categories rise above the rest: adaptogens and functional mushrooms. These natural ingredients have been trusted for centuries to support balance, vitality, and resilience — and today, modern research is beginning to confirm their benefits.

This guide explains what they are, how they work, and how to choose supplements you can trust.

What Are Adaptogens?

Adaptogens are plants and botanicals that help the body respond to stress, whether that stress is physical, emotional, or environmental.

They’ve been used for centuries in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, where herbs like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola were valued for their ability to support balance and vitality.

Modern research suggests that certain adaptogens may help:
Support a calm, steady mood during stressful times
Promote endurance and stamina
Enhance mental focus and clarity
Improve resilience to fatigue

How they work: Adaptogens don’t act like stimulants or sedatives. Instead, they help nudge the body back toward balance, a state called homeostasis.

💡 Quick Fact: A 2021 review found that Ashwagandha extract was associated with reduced stress levels and improved well-being compared to placebo.

The Power of Functional Mushrooms

Functional mushrooms are not the same as the ones you cook for dinner. They contain unique compounds that can support whole-body wellness.

Most researched functional mushrooms include:
• Lion’s Mane: Memory, focus, and gut-brain support
• Reishi: Stress resilience and immune balance
• Cordyceps: Natural energy via oxygen utilization
• Chaga, Turkey Tail, Shiitake: Immune and antioxidant support
• Maitake: Metabolic and immune health

These benefits come from compounds like beta-glucans, which modulate immunity and support cellular health.

Pro Tip: Look for fruiting body extracts on labels. Fruiting bodies contain the highest concentration of active compounds compared to mycelium (often diluted with grain).

Adaptogens + Mushrooms: Why They Work Better Together

While each has unique benefits, combining them creates synergy that reflects how our bodies actually work: interconnected and dynamic.

Examples of powerful combinations:
• Stress & Mood: Ashwagandha + Reishi → calm resilience
• Energy & Recovery: Rhodiola + Cordyceps → steady energy
• Cognition & Gut Health: Lion’s Mane + prebiotic fiber → gut-brain support
• Hormonal & Liver: Burdock Root + detox botanicals → toxin + hormone balance

Note: Not every More. formula contains mushrooms. Some blends are purely botanical and nutrient-based  designed for targeted, focused support without unnecessary ingredients.

Why Synergy Matters

Health challenges rarely come from one cause. Fatigue, for example, can stem from:
Elevated stress hormones
Poor gut health
Low nutrient absorption
Chronic inflammation

A synergy-driven formula addresses multiple factors at once, creating a stronger foundation for long-term wellness

How to Choose a Quality Supplement

Not all supplements are created equal. Here’s how to separate quality from marketing hype:

Red Flags
Proprietary blends without exact ingredient amounts
Mycelium on grain instead of fruiting body mushrooms
Artificial colors, dyes, or unnecessary fillers
No mention of third-party testing

Green Flags
Transparent labeling with every ingredient listed
Fruiting body mushroom extracts (when mushrooms are included)
Thoughtful, balanced blends instead of megadoses
GMP-certified manufacturing
ISO-17025 third-party testing

Why third-party testing matters:
Independent labs confirm that supplements are free from contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, mold, or harmful microbes — and that what’s on the label matches what’s in the bottle.

The More. Difference

Conclusion: Wellness Made Clear

Adaptogens and functional mushrooms represent more than a wellness trend, they reflect a shift toward integrative, systems-based health.

By choosing thoughtfully formulated, third-party tested supplements, you can support your body’s natural ability to adapt, recover, and thrive.
