Mushroom FAQs
What do you mean by functional mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms have a long history of supporting the body in various ways, spanning thousands of years. Each mushroom serves a specific purpose or "function," functioning as adaptogens to aid in areas such as focus, energy, stress relief, sleep, and immune support.

Why is it important to extract these functional mushrooms?
Extracting mushrooms is crucial because they are inedible in their raw form. This process allows the body to access their nutritional benefits such as polysaccharides and triterpenes, making functional mushrooms more potent and easier to consume. Extracting mushrooms enhances the bioavailability of essential nutrients and active ingredients, maximizing their health benefits. Moreover, it helps eliminate unwanted substances, ensuring purity and safety in mushroom supplements, ultimately unlocking the full potential of these natural wonders for improved health and well-being.
Are functional mushrooms legal?
Yes! None of the functional mushrooms we use are on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) list and they are legal all around the world. Functional mushrooms have been used for over 5000 years so it is very unlikely that they will ever make the list or become illegal. None of these mushrooms are psychoactive.
Will these mushrooms make me high?
No, our mushrooms lack psychoactive compounds that induce a "high." Our products feature functional mushrooms renowned for their health benefits, including Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Chaga, and Reishi. These mushrooms are non-psychoactive and are utilized to enhance various aspects of health and wellness.
Is there a possibility of experiencing an allergic reaction?
There is always a chance of individual allergic reactions when trying something new. If you have any concerns, it's advisable to consult your healthcare practitioner to devise a plan for incorporating functional mushrooms into your diet safely.
Tinctures FAQs
How do Alcohol-based and Alcohol-free tinctures differ?
Alcohol-based tinctures utilize alcohol as the solvent, whereas alcohol-free versions are based on vegetable glycerin.
Alcohol is a superior solvent for extracting mushroom tinctures and has been traditionally favored, resulting in higher potency compared to alcohol-free alternatives. Claims suggesting similar potency between alcohol-based and glycerin-based tinctures are inaccurate.
Alcohol-based tinctures typically have a stronger taste, while alcohol-free versions tend to be milder and sweeter, making them suitable for children, pets, and individuals aiming to avoid alcohol consumption.
What does 1:4 double extraction mean?
Our liquid extracts follow a 1:4 ratio, signifying that for every 1 kilogram of dried mushroom material, 4 liters of liquid extract are produced. These extracts are crafted through a double extraction process involving both water and alcohol. This dual liquid extraction guarantees the presence and bioavailability of both water-soluble compounds, primarily polysaccharides like beta-glucans, and alcohol-soluble compounds, mainly antioxidants such as triterpenoids, in the final product and bioavailable for consumers.
Where are your mushrooms from?
Our lion's mane mushrooms are cultivated locally by us. Cordyceps and Turkey Tail mushrooms are sourced from reputable organic growers in the US. Chaga mushrooms are harvested from the wild in the US, and Reishi mushrooms are wild-harvested from the mountains in Visayas, Philippines.
Do your tinctures consist entirely of organic ingredients?
Our tinctures are made from 100% organic mushrooms, free from GMOs, pesticides, and chemicals. Additionally, we utilize 100% organic cane alcohol and vegetable glycerin in our production process.
Are fruiting bodies or mycelium used in your products?
Our liquid extracts exclusively utilize fruiting bodies, containing no mycelium, starch, grains, or fillers.
When can I see results?
You'll start to see the effects after your first Supershrooms bottle. For optimal and lasting benefits, we recommend continuing the intake for three months and integrating it into your daily dietary routine.
Is it okay to use multiple tinctures simultaneously?

approach for your needs.

Can I safely consume the tinctures if I'm planning to have a surgery?

Powders require digestion before absorption, while liquid tinctures are absorbed directly into the bloodstream for quicker effects. Both forms can be effective, depending on personal preference and health goals.
How do I properly store the tinctures?
To store the tinctures properly, keep them in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the lids are tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and maintain freshness.
