Eterne - Maca + Mushroom Moon Milk

Fungi are among the most studied plant medicines in the herbal pharmacopeia because of their seeming super-powers. From seriously boosting immune health, to both combating and preventing cancer, to reducing systemic inflammation, to regenerating both nerve and neural tissues, to helping restore entire ecosystems—mushrooms are, quite simply, extraordinary.

ETERNE utilizes a potent combination of adaptogenic roots and mushrooms used since ancient times to extend the lifespan, restore youthfulness and fertility, and sharpen mental acuity and creativity: Reishi, Lionsmane, Chaga, Cordyceps, Maca, and He Shou Wu. 

Extensive studies of Chaga mushroom show the mushroom’s ability to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, relieve pain, increase stamina and reduce fatigue, and act as a powerful antioxidant.

Studies on Lionsmane demonstrate that the mushroom can assist with mental focus, knowledge retention, memory recall, and can even help treat degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s by stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF aids the regeneration and growth of neurons. Consuming lionsmane on a consistent basis is shown to support brain health, help ease anxiety and depression, increase cognitive function, and to help protect against neurological disease and decline.

In Asia, red Reishi has been regarded as the king of plant medicines for millennia, as it has a powerful tonifying effect upon the entire body and mind. It is revered as a premier longevity tonic in Chinese Medicine, used to restore flagging vitality. Studies on reishi show that regular consumption can improve adrenal health and combat chronic fatigue, decrease stress and anxiety levels, reduce pain, protect the liver, and improve the health of the nerves, brain, liver, and lungs. If this is not enough, reishi has been studied extensively as both a treatment and preventative medicine for cancer, as compounds in reishi may be cytotoxic to cancer cells, thus preventing their growth and spread.

Cordyceps is arguably the single most rare and precious plant medicine in human history. Cordyceps sinensis are so highly valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine that they once were available only to the emperor’s family in ancient China. Given that wild cordyceps is so rare and expensive, a new strain, c. militaris, has been developed that is now used interchangeably with c. sinensis.

Cordyceps is a longevity tonic, immune modulator, and adaptogen that supports overall endocrine health, as well as impressive support for kidney and liver function. Cordyceps is shown to help prevent various cancers, support healthy fertility, reduce the impact of chronic stress on the kidneys and adrenals, and to enhance immune function. 

Maca hails from the mountains of South America, and has been used since ancient times as a nutritive fertility and libido tonic in both men and women. Modern applications of maca largely reflect these traditional uses: maca is used to optimize physical stamina and endurance, improve sexual health, promote increased libido, and enhance fertility. Come studies demonstrate maca helps improve ovarian function, and correct erectile disfunction in men, as well as increase the quality and motility of sperm. 

He Shou Wu is a revered root used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a rejuventive tonic that helps normalize kidney and liver function, raise qi (life force/essence), and help the body combat the effects of aging. He shou wu is often taken over long periods of time to restore energy, and to maintain physical strength, vitality, and fertility.
