LET'S TALK ABOUT SHROOMS
While our mushrooms might make you feel magical, they aren't psychedelic. They're called functional mushrooms (also referred to as medicinal mushrooms). They contain compounds like beta-glucans, triterpenes and triterpenoids that offer significant health impacts. They've been around for eons, much longer than we’ve even been around. In fact, humans and mushrooms are more closely related than plants from an evolutionary standpoint, we are cosmic ancestors. For thousands of years, functional mushrooms have been consumed in Eastern medicine for beyond essential nutrients, but only recently have they been recognized in the West for their powerful impact on our health. More excitingly, all of this has been backed by vast amounts of scientific research and studies.

Fruiting Body vs Mycelial Biomass
How To Avoid Low Quality Mushroom Extracts
This is a topic we constantly highlight because of how easily it’s overseen. With the growing popularity of functional mushrooms, it’s crucial that you’re getting the highest quality possible. It frustrates us to know that many companies, including well-known brands, sell low-quality mushroom products that use filler to keep costs low and profits high. Our goal is to educate YOU, the consumer, on what to look out for. Beware of products labeled as 'Mycelial Biomass' or ‘Full Spectrum’, a mix of mycelium and grain, which does not constitute actual fruited mushrooms. What exactly is mycelium? It’s the precursor to mushroom growth, consisting of a network of white fibers that thrive on substrates like grain blocks (see the image). These blocks of mycelium are tossed into a blender where the extract is made, then sold as "mushrooms extract". Always read the label!
Our mushroom extracts are certified USDA organic, composed entirely of 100% fruiting bodies that are harvested. They undergo hot water extraction to activate health-boosting compounds, ensuring that every sip delivers the full benefits your body deserves. Any reputable brand will ALWAYS clearly state the type and dosage of mushrooms in each serving. Our label, for instance, states a substantial 2000mg of 100% fruiting body per serving. If such information is not transparently provided, it's likely being concealed for a reason!
UNLOCK THE POWER OF YOUR MIND
Nootropics, or “smart drugs,” are a class of substances that can boost brain performance. They are sometimes called cognition enhancers or memory enhancing substances. Our nootropics stack is designed to work harmoniously with our mushroom stack, bringing a full spectrum of benefits to your body and mind.
