Hi, it's Dr. Parvatz again talking to you today about some of the supplements, especially organo coffee that we have here. I want to explain to you a little bit about what this is. This actually has ganoderma lucidorum in it and that's actually the botanical name of a mushroom called reishi mushroom. It's called the king of mushrooms. It's been used for thousands of years starting from China. It is a mushroom that actually has a lot of beneficial compounds especially for immunity boosting, especially for decreasing inflammation. It has been used in anti cancer preparations, complementary treatment of course. And it's also really good for as an adaptogen, kind of like Ashwagandha which is, you know, really popular right now. But it's an adaptogen as well. So it helps your body adapt to stress and it can either boost an immune system response or calm down an immune system response that's too much either way. And also it's very good for helping maintain your appetite. It maintains blood sugar levels in general. It's a, it's a very, there are a lot of health benefits to this mushroom and this particular company actually has. It's a very, very pure, it's organic and very controlled in terms of no toxins absorbed. And it's not just a mushroom from any forest or anywhere you, it's very controlled growing conditions. So that's why we like this company. It also tastes really good. So if you're going to have coffee or tea or anything like that, why not make it more like a superfood and add more nutrition to your coffee and tea. So this is the black which is really good. It's pretty, it's kind of strong. Sometimes I use one one pack and we actually split it in two. It's instant coffee. So that's another thing too. You can just take it anywhere when you travel and just mix it with hot water. So this is the black one, no calories at all in that. This is hot cocoa which kind of self explanatory tastes really good. There is a little bit of sugar in this one. This one is supreme. And this one actually has not just the ganoderma, it actually has the ratio also has ginseng in it. And a lot of people know about ginseng which is also another adaptogen. But it's also very good for like memory and focus. Gives you a little bit more energy. So that's what this one has. This is a latte, really quite good compared to even like obviously these are gonna be significantly cheaper, half a cost or less than half a cost of any kind of Starbucks coffee. There is a little bit of sugar and some non dairy creamer in here and then we have mocha which is obviously coffee plus chocolate. A couple of other ones that also have. We have here that have the mushroom in it is green tea. We have green tea and sometimes we have red tea. So all the benefits of green tea which is stimulates your metabolism as well as good for immune boosting, it has that in addition to green tea. And then the one that we don't have shown here is called King coffee and you can buy that on our link on our website when you go to the Organo link Dr.parvezcoffee.com you can actually get the King as well. The King is made only from the spores so it's like very, very. It's a lot more expensive but it tastes a lot milder than the black which is strong but it's also extremely good for you. So I hope you enjoy. You can buy these here, come and pick them up or you can use our link and get some coffee.
