For a comprehensive overview of Cordyceps and its potential health benefits watch the video below:
Imperial Protein is an adaptogenic, medicinal protein powder based upon the revered Cordyceps mushroom. It centers around both the fruiting body (C. militaris) and the liquid-fermented mycelium (C. sinensis), and is supported by the powerful Shiitake (L. edodes) and Maitake (G. frondosa) medicinal mushroom fruiting bodies.
The cell walls of fungi are structured out of chitin - a tough, fibrous polysaccharide that must be broken down before we are able to assimilate the wealth of nutrition and medicine that many mushroom species contain. This is why the fungi in Imperial Protein are steam-dried prior to being powdered, which denatures the chitin and liberates the dense nutrition and medicinal properties that these species contain, making them ready for digestion.
Imperial Protein is an excellent source of nutrition - a complete source of bioavailable protein (19g) in every serving, as well as being rich in many essential trace elements such as magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and selenium. It also contains B vitamins, and of course, the immune-boosting beta-glucans that are synonymous with medicinal fungi. This makes Imperial Protein the ultimate medicinal protein supplement.
Beyond the nutrition though, let’s take a look at what else these mushrooms have to offer:
Cordyceps: Both the fruiting body and mycelium of Cordyceps are excellent at regulating inflammation and immune function within the body. Cordyceps is known to stimulate the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency that the body burns for all types of cellular metabolism. In short, Cordyceps gives us more energy. This is why it has been used for centuries to increase stamina, as a performance enhancer and as a tool for aiding recovery after physical and mental exertion.
Shiitake: This species is also useful in targeting chronic inflammation in the body as well as enhancing immune function. Shiitake is known to help manage cholesterol levels and blood pressure, making it an excellent choice for cardiovascular health. Unique polysaccharides in Shiitake act as prebiotics, supporting a healthy population of beneficial gut bacteria, which improves digestion and immune function alike.
Maitake: Once again, a staple for managing inflammation and immune function; Maitake also helps to improve insulin sensitivity and promote healthy serum lipid profiles by lowering levels of cholesterol. The anti-inflammatory properties of this species are known to positively impact gut health as well as inflammatory diseases like arthritis.
Most protein powders on the market are of poor provenance and lack overall quality. Many are notoriously difficult to digest and while they may be rich in protein, they can cause a plethora of side effects, many of which are often related to inflammation. Many commercial protein powders are also flavored with chocolate, salted caramel or some other sugar-laden option that makes the product unnaturally sweet and difficult to tolerate for many. It was crucially important to us to create a nutritional protein powder that was first and foremost the purest quality possible, but also reached beyond the protein content alone, and embraced a much broader, medicinal scope.
This guiding principle has allowed us to create a product that is rich in protein and other essential nutrients, but also anti-inflammatory, immune-enhancing, and beneficial for cardiovascular health as well as promoting both physical and mental energy. We have also added nothing extra to flavor this product, allowing instead the natural earthy notes of the Cordyceps mushroom to set the tone. This results in a smooth and mild, very pleasant tasting powder that is not overpowering. We are extremely pleased with how this product has turned out and it is something that we at Nyishar are using on a daily basis ourselves, with truly excellent results. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
This 600g bag provides exactly 15 days quantity, so two bags will last exactly one month of daily use. We prefer to add it to smoothies, but it can also be blended into fruit juices or even water. Those looking for greater versatility may also find it useful to add this product to soups, meals, desserts and even in baking.
