What Is BetterMushrooms?
BetterMushrooms is a functional mushroom supplement formulated by Dr. Chris Jackson, PharmD, designed to support cognitive function, immune health, energy levels, and overall wellness. Rather than requiring you to purchase multiple single-mushroom supplements, BetterMushrooms combines several of the most well-researched adaptogenic and functional mushrooms into one daily formula.
Functional mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine systems for centuries—particularly in Chinese and Japanese herbal traditions. Modern research has begun to validate many of these traditional uses, showing that certain mushroom compounds can support the immune system, promote mental clarity, and help the body adapt to stress.
BetterMushrooms is third-party tested by ISO Certified Labs, made in a GMP certified facility, and manufactured in the USA. With over 836,000 customers trusting Betterbrand products, this supplement reflects the same commitment to quality and transparency found across the entire product line.
The Functional Mushrooms Inside BetterMushrooms
Each mushroom in the BetterMushrooms formula was selected based on scientific research and traditional use. Here's what you'll find inside:
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Often called the "brain mushroom," lion's mane has been studied for its potential to support cognitive function and nerve health. Research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food suggests that lion's mane may promote the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein essential for healthy brain function.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Known as the "mushroom of immortality" in traditional Chinese medicine, reishi is prized for its adaptogenic properties. Studies indicate that reishi may support immune modulation and help the body manage occasional stress.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)
This energy-supporting mushroom has long been used by athletes and active individuals. Research in the Journal of Dietary Supplements found that cordyceps supplementation may support oxygen utilization and physical endurance.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Rich in antioxidants, chaga has been traditionally used to support immune function. Studies show it contains high levels of beta-glucans, compounds known to support healthy immune responses.
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
One of the most researched medicinal mushrooms, turkey tail contains polysaccharopeptides that have been extensively studied for immune support.
Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
Sometimes called "hen of the woods," maitake is another beta-glucan-rich mushroom that may support metabolic health and immune function.
