The Miracle Mushroom: Your Questions Answered

The Miracle Mushroom: Your Questions Answered

Levitas are leading experts in the medicinal use of mushrooms, combining sustainable products with science-backed research and a commitment to safety. With years of experience and a focus on education through our academy for healthcare professionals, we ensure that medicinal mushrooms are used responsibly and effectively. Medicinal mushrooms offer transformative health benefits, and we’re here to share their profound potential with you.

What makes medicinal mushrooms so special?

Medicinal mushrooms contain bioactive compounds like beta-glucans, triterpenes, and antioxidants that support immunity, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular function. Unlike the mushrooms you eat at dinner, these fungi are cultivated or extracted specifically for therapeutic benefits.

Which medicinal mushrooms should I know about?

Here are some of the most renowned medicinal mushrooms:

  • Cordyceps: Boosts energy, stamina, and oxygen utilization.
  • Reishi: Known as the “Mushroom of Immortality,” it supports stress relief, sleep, and immunity.
  • Lion’s Mane: Promotes brain health, memory, and gut-brain repair.
  • AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound): A mycelium-based extract clinically proven to enhance immune system function, especially T-cell and NK cell activity.

What are the top health benefits?

  1. Immune Support
    Reishi and AHCC are known for their ability to strengthen immunity and reduce infection risk.

Try: Integrated Health AHCC (1 gram twice daily).

2. Brain Health
Lion’s Mane stimulates Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which helps repair neurons and enhance cognitive function.

Try: Mico-Leo (1 capsule twice daily on an empty stomach).

3. Energy and Stamina
Cordyceps boosts mitochondrial ATP production for physical and mental endurance.

Try: Cordyceps Vital Powder (1–2 tablespoons in the morning).

4. Stress and Sleep
Reishi regulates cortisol, reducing stress and promoting deep sleep.

Try: Mico-Rei (1–2 capsules in the evening).

How can I easily incorporate medicinal mushrooms into my life?

Medicinal mushrooms are available in various forms—capsules, powders, and tinctures. Here’s a simple routine:

  • Morning: Start with Cordyceps Vital Powder in your tea or smoothie for an energy boost.
  • Midday: Take AHCC Capsules for immune support.
  • Evening: Use Mico-Rei to relax and unwind, and Mico-Leo to support your gut-brain axis.

This simple integration helps you experience their benefits throughout the day.

Who can benefit from medicinal mushrooms?

Medicinal mushrooms cater to a variety of needs:

  • Children with gut-brain issues: Lion’s Mane and AHCC reduce inflammation and support focus.
  • Busy professionals: Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane improve energy and mental clarity.
  • Older adults: Reishi and AHCC support immunity and recovery, promoting overall vitality.

Are there any real success stories?

Absolutely! Take this example:
A 62-year-old man struggling with low energy and frequent infections began using Cordyceps Vital Powder and AHCC. Within three months, he experienced fewer infections, improved immune markers, and greater stamina. His transformation highlights how medicinal mushrooms can address diverse health challenges.

How do medicinal mushrooms align with sustainability?

Medicinal mushrooms are eco-friendly champions. Brands like Hifas da Terra use sustainable cultivation practices, recycling organic materials and maintaining soil health. Choosing mushrooms not only supports your well-being but also promotes environmental sustainability.

Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?

While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why? 

  • Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation. 
  • Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery. 

Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better. 

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery

Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include: 

  • Faster recovery from intense workouts 
  • Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) 
  • Improved circulation to fatigued muscles 
  • Loosening of tight fascia and trigger points 
  • Enhanced performance and injury prevention 

If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine. 

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  1. Medical Assessment: Your treatment is led by a doctor, not just a technician. We diagnose your issue thoroughly. 
  1. Shockwave Application: We apply both radial and focused waves in a 45–60 minute session. 
  1. Immediate Walk-Out: No need for anaesthesia or rest. Resume work or training the same day. 
  1. Follow-Up: Most people need 3–6 weekly sessions. We assess and adapt your plan each time. 

Whether you live in Mayfair, Kensington, or Cobham, we provide personalised care built on precision and results.
