Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Mushrooms, as a general and unspecified category, have long been used in traditional medicine systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and various folk medicines, to support energy and vitality. In TCM, certain mushrooms like reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), cordyceps, and shiitake are believed to support "qi" (life force) and improve stamina or combat fatigue. However, when referring to "mushroom (unspecified)," there is a lack of clarity regarding the species and preparation, making it difficult to directly ascribe traditional claims to all types of mushrooms. The traditional support for increased energy is mostly anecdotal and based on the broader reputation of specific medicinal mushrooms rather than mushrooms as a whole. There is some limited scientific interest in certain species, such as cordyceps, which have shown modest effects on exercise performance and fatigue in small studies, but these findings cannot be generalized to all mushrooms. Therefore, while the use of mushrooms for supporting energy is primarily grounded in traditional practices, scientific evidence remains limited, especially when the mushroom type is not specified.
