MUSHROOMS contain more than 150 bioactive compounds that can help fight inflammati­on, reduce fatigue, support immunity, and help the body deal with many diseases that affect health and quality of life.

I recently met with Hifas Da Terra, a company that produce a range of Medicinal Mushrooms. These mushrooms can help with all sorts of health conditions including arthritis, insomnia, thyroid problems, weight control, and much more. I was very curious and chatted at length with them about their products.

Well how excited was I when the following week I got a call from Hifas Da Terra asking me if I would like to go see their facility in Galicia? Needless to say I said yes, and off I went to visit the pristine subtropica­l forests of Northern Spain.

I met the scientists and researcher­s, and saw where the mushrooms were grown, very impressive. Hifas Da Terra was establishe­d fifteen years ago as a result of more than fifty years of extensive research in the field of mycology, the study of mushrooms. Their research team is made up of doctors, MD’s, health profession­als, biologists and pharmacist­s who have brought together their expertise to formulate the Hifas Da Terra brand of medicinal mushrooms.

I asked what makes their mushrooms so special. Their answer was, they guarantee quality and excellence, and they’re organicall­y grown, and are dried in natural conditions on site. They are GMP certified and are non GMO. They contain no fillers, or binders. They’re suitable for people with lactose intoleranc­e, or coeliac disease, and for vegans and vegetarian­s. The formulatio­ns are based on proven scientific results. They do extensive research and run clinical trials. I could see that everyone involved at Hifas Da Terra is passionate about improving health through the study and use of medicinal mushrooms. I believe them and that they are a brand that I can trust to recommend to you.

Mushrooms are not something new; they have been around for millions of years. Many customers have asked me about medicinal mushrooms recently, and now we have a range that can offer solutions to health problems both chronic and acute.

Next week I will tell you about some of the mushrooms that I think you’ll be interested to know about.
