Potassium can help regulate blood pressure, and this may decrease the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. For example, The stem of the shiitake mushrooms is a good source, choline in mushrooms can help with muscle movement, learning, and memory and play a role in transmitting nerve impulses. Many types of mushrooms are edible, and most provide similar quantities of the same nutrition.

What to look out for when you buy them


Fresh mushrooms should be firm, dry, and unbruised. Avoid mushrooms that appear slimy or withered. Store mushrooms in the refrigerator. Do not wash or trim them until it is time to cook them. Watch out for poison mushrooms: Wild mushrooms can make a tasty dish, but the toxins in some mushrooms can trigger fatal health issues. Some wild mushrooms also contain high levels of heavy metals and other harmful chemicals. To avoid these dangers, only consume mushrooms from a reliable source. Unless you know how to forage mushrooms, stay clear of them. If you are slightly unsure, do not eat them.

The mushrooms that we work with


We at COCORAU select the most incredible healthy and potent mushrooms to produce the highest benefits. For our Superlative Beauty Powder, we choose Tremella and WHY? Tremella Mushrooms are known for their many health benefits, but they might be the ultimate anti-aging beauty mushroom! Tremella is used for centuries for its beauty-enhancing benefits, which explains why it’s also called the beauty mushroom. In addition to helping keep skin looking smooth and glowing, tremella mushrooms have many other health benefits, such as helping to boost the immune system and lower inflammation. Chaga mushrooms have been used for centuries in Siberia and other parts of Asia to boost immunity and improve overall health.  The Chaga mushroom is gaining popularity in the Western world for its potential health benefits.
For our Sensual Supreme powder, we are using Reishi.

The king of medicinal mushrooms. Reishi may be able to do it all: aid in weight loss and keep the immune system in check. 

However, what makes this mushroom unique is its calming properties — all of which are thanks to the compound triterpene. These mood-boosting compounds may alleviate anxiety, ease depression, and encourage better sleep. But triterpene’s positive effect on the nervous system doesn’t stop there, sharpen focus, also.
