The compounds in our extractscan be potent for some and less so for others, so finding out what works for you is important. We recommend you start by following the instructions on the bottle, and then vary the dose as necessary.

There is a break-in period with our extracts, too. This means their effects are most noticed after consistent use. With this, you can also expect an adjustment period for your body - you may be sensitive to compounds in mushrooms (be they fresh or extracted), so easing yourself into the supplementation process is a great idea.

Unless they were wild-forage by licensed foragers, we grow a majority of the mushrooms used in our extracts. In rare circumstances, we work with other farms and cultivators in the US to bring in a new varietal. Find out more about our grow philosophy and process here.

We grow our mushrooms on a mixture of untreated hardwood sawdust, soybean hulls, and brewer's grain. Brewer's grain is the byproduct of beer making, and it consists of oats, barely, rye, and wheat. See this in action here.

Our mushrooms do not contain gluten.

The mushrooms used in our are dehydrated 3-5 days after harvest.

Certain companies in this market use myceliated grain as a raw ingredient in their extracts. There is debate among mycologist and nutritionists as to whether or not this is beneficial. We take a simpler approach:

Using myceliated grain decreases the amount of fungal cells that come in contact with our solvents, thereby diluting the resulting solution. So we don't do it.

We only use dried fruiting bodies in our tinctures, or sclerotia in the case of Chaga.

Our extracts are 3rd-party lab tested for purity and potency. Learn more about our extraction process here.

Mushrooms contain an evolving catalogue of novel compounds. However, chief among those discovered to date are the terpenes, polysaccharides, and phenolic compounds, which are associated with a wide array of health benefits. These compounds are not naturally produced by the body, and so like vitamins, they must be supplemented.
