The Laird Superfood functional mushroom coffee range has been expanded by the brand to offer consumers a few new options to boost their morning routine. The new coffee products include the Organic Perform Functional Mushroom Coffee and the Defend Functional Mushroom Coffee, which are each made with a base of hand-picked Peruvian coffee.
The Perform variety has a proprietary blend of four functional mushrooms including chaga, lion's mane, maitake cordyceps to help boost energy as well as cognition. The Defend variety boasts red reishi and maitake mushroom extracts along with olive leaf extract and agaricus mushroom powder to boost the body's natural immune response.
The new additions to the Laird Superfood functional mushroom coffee range are arriving at Target locations in the US.
