a fungal growth that typically takes the form of a
domed cap on a stalk with girls on the underside
of the cap. It can sometimes be pale pinkish, but
generally brown color that it comes in. And I talk
(00:30):
about mushrooms because that is going to be the focus
of our tests at our Thursday with Lizel Favestas and Lizel,
you haven't brought a fungal growth that typically takes the
form of a muster domed cap on a stalk today,
You've brought me a little.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Spritzer can sanitize bot It does, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And it's called.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Super Mushrooms and it's from a brand called Super Mushrooms dot.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Co dot today.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Now these are mushrooms that we are not flying up
in our breakfast place. They like natural helpers for your
body and your brain, and people have been using them
for thousands of years in our traditional medicines all around
the world, even in South Africa. We've seen and now
it's really making a big This is one of the big, big,
big health movements of the year. Things like lines Made
(01:14):
nicknamed the smart Mushroom. It helps your brain stay sharp
and might even help with memory and focus. There's Rishi,
which is called the mushroom of Immortality.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It helps you feel.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Calmer, supports your immune system, and helps you handle stress.
A big one that we're hearing a lot is Turkey Tales,
supporting your immune system, helping your body fights with germs
and stay strong. Those are just a few. There's some
interesting mushroom names out there. Pop them on the WhatsApp
line if you've heard things, and they're basically a natural
boost of your body and brain, helping with energy, focus,
sleep and staying healthy. And we are just tested out
(01:46):
something called super Focus from super Mushroom, which is what
so it is a spray bottle that you spray. So
I was testing it out to help to see that
boost memory, sharpens focus and supports overall brain health. Can't
tell you about the overhaul health side of things, but
I did feel as if I was getting that extra
boost that sharp focus.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It comes from mixing that Line's.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Made, which we mentioned, which supports nerve growth, sharper memory.
Studies have shown that it may improve focus, reduce mental fatigue,
are great for big work and for presentations and long meetings.
Then Rishi which is in there. It acts as a
calming antioxidant, supporting mood balance, long term brain health, and
keeps your mind clear and helps you stay composed under pressure.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And many people have tried this.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Have reported twenty five percent improvement on focus and memory
after a few weeks. And the formula has been tested
by independent labs grown or on organic farms using real
fruiting bodies, no fillers, no lab grown items, no extras
in there, and you can adjust it daily. So I
took three sprays in the morning just to help with mental.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Characters, and those three sprays are a really right.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Absolutely orally and I took an afternoon. If I knew
that in the next couple of weeks, I'm doing a
double ships or shuld I say trip from here to
to radio and then another double radio shift, So I
know that I'm going to have the energy to make
it through that, and I know I loved how easy
it was. I threw it into my bag and this
morning and I was trying to find it because you see,
I come with a big gym bag to work in
(03:14):
the morning. I managed to find it easily. I also
use it before gym, so it just gave me that
sense of clarity and sense of just focus and go.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And we've we've got long days.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I mean we started, we get up at three or
hopp us two three, and it's a long week, run
a full day. You and I have a full day
where nineteen o'clock we're only going to bed, where most
people are only getting up six seven o'clock. So for
people who are doing a lot, it's something that's really
great too.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And our lives are not sustainable.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
So I'm not using us as the perfect example, but
if you're a busy executive or if you know you've
got a full day, these are greater. This is a
great thing to add to that routine.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Let me ask this obvious question. If you are allergic
to mushrooms for some reason, can you consume this product?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So this is a mushroom This is if you're allergic
to mushrooms, please do stay away.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
If you've never tried any of the.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Brands such as Lines main Resheet, I always say speak
to your medical practitioner first, because there are some there
are some effects it might happen. So if you've got
a mushroom allergy, it's not for you. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding,
or have chronic health conditions, consult your doctor first. Those
with autoimmune disorders, bleeding disorders, or immune suppressions proceed with caution.
(04:29):
I say, just go straight to your medical practitioner. Always
with anything anything we try out. I went first to
my medical practitioner to make sure that I could take this,
and we've got a history of having checked blood work.
My doctor knows my my integrated health doctor knows what
I can and what our contact. So I always run
anything we try, even though it's it's deemed natural, I
(04:52):
always run it past a health professional. But I did
get hold of Charles from super Mushroom dot co dotza
just to tell us more about the product there.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
My name is Charles Grassy, founder of Super Mushrooms, a
wellness brand helping you feel your best naturally. We create
premium mushroom blends designed to support your daily health, whether
you need deeper sleep, sharper focus, more energy, or a
stronger immunity. Our four signature sprays, Super Health, super Focus,

is now mainstream.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Get super And that's Cholels from super Mushroom dot co
dotz te just telling us a little bit more about
the product what's in there. But I always stipulate and
I have a very unique way of when we get
products a review. We get sent a lot of things
and items to review and it stays on my desk
for a while until I get to speak to my
integrated health doctor and we look through the products. We
(06:24):
read product labeling, we check what I'm doing in terms
of if I'm training for an endurance event or what
would work, what doesn't work with my protocol and my
integrated health the design. So this was something we did
go through and take a look, but always go.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
To your medical professional.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Stay away if you are allergic to mushrooms and always
read the label.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Always. There's so many people.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I mean, I got a product sent to me and
they went, oh, this is just a in test phase.
And it literally was in a little bank back with
no labeling, no scientific formula, no paperwork, no nothing. And
I went, I have no idea what I'm taking exactly,
so this comes in a box with the paper.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I asked Charles a number of questions before the time.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
They do have a shop in Cape Town, their online
ask the questions that you need to ask.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Don't be scared.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Like when you shop for for gym ware, we shop
for running shoes. It's a purchase that you spend time
with before actually going to buy it. Make sure that
you're buying it for the correct reasons and make sure
that you are using it if you don't have an
autoimmune disorder or on immune suppress its, chronic health conditions.
And also remember it's not a superfix for as that
(07:32):
are running a hectic life, especially now for the next
six months.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's going to be go, go go.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
It's a nice to add on to your health routine,
but remember it's not going to fix if you if
you are just going going and running on empty sleep,
not eating healthy.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
This is a natural add on. Do you know whether
it's made here in South Africa? And if so, where
does he source his mushrooms from?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And a good question.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
We'll actually ask him that. That's one thing I didn't
think to ask. But I know that they are grown
organically and they are sourced locally, so it is a
proudly South African product, and lines made a lot of
people go why does it sound so familiar? If anyone's
watched Clarkson's Farm, Jimmy Clarkson buys a farm and he
tries different things on his farm. Line's main mushroom is
(08:17):
one of the things that he's growing in a bunker
that's proved really really popular, especially in the UK. So
in case it rings the value going, I heard it
mentioned somewhere where's it mentioned? That's probably the pop culture
reference that you're thinking of. But I believe these all
grown locally and organically so and tested. These are not
(08:38):
lab grown. There's no cheap fillers. That's the big thing.
Someone asked send me a product yesterday to review, and
the first thing I looked is what is the fillers
or the additives in there? So that's another thing to
always check and always ask the question. If you buy something,
drop an email to the company before you purchase. Where's
it brought from, where's it sourced from? Give me some
of the lab testing, give me some more info. And
(08:58):
if they can't provide you with that, do not purchase
the product. For email Charles at super Mushrooms dot co
dot send to one. You'll probably get the answers to
what you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Super Mushrooms dot co dot today is the website. They
do have a store in Cape Town, New Set just
in just.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Of work Ops, so you bet able to go there.
And there's a lot of South African brands that are
coming out with really great brain health and cognitive focused products.
So we're always looking for great products to review and
let us know. If you found something similar or a
different brand, or maybe there's a new brand on the market,
share it with us.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
We'd love to investigates.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do looks very interesting and remember allays check with your
healthcare professional and if you are in any way allergic
to mushrooms, please stay away. We do not we do
not want to, you know, see trouble happening. Tomorrow's a Friday,
which means Liso is going to have a wonderful, wonderful
(09:55):
list of ideas for you to consider doing in the
outdoors and in the because of course it probably will
be raining here in the Cape.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's sunny, I checked, but you know, Cape sound changes
its mind and in Joe Big is just as warm,
so we will well warmish for winter.
