Functional mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps have been widely studied for their naturally occurring compounds, including polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and, in some species, unique aromatic or triterpene compounds. These compounds are associated in scientific research with areas such as cognitive function, immune system support, aerobic energy levels and general wellbeing.The type of extraction used can influence which compounds are present and in what amounts. For each of our products we select the most appropriate extraction method for each mushroom species (sometimes hot-water, sometimes alcohol, sometimes both) to make key compounds 'bioavailable'. We also align our ingredient levels with amounts used in published studies, so each formula is based on the best available evidence.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) fruiting bodies contain naturally occurring compounds such as beta-glucans and hericenones. In laboratory studies, hericenones have been shown to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a protein involved in the growth and maintenance of certain nerve cells. We use a dual-extraction process at a 10:1 ratio to capture both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds from the fruiting body. Our ingredient levels are aligned with amounts used in published research, so you receive the full spectrum of compounds that have been studied for their potential roles in cognitive and neurological health. So does it work? research has shown a possible mechanism and many people report significant impact on brain fog and ability to focus. More human studies are needed but signs are promising.

Many mushroom supplements use simple extraction processes or low-concentration powders to save cost. We take a different approach. Each of our products is made using the most appropriate extraction method for the mushroom species, often dual extraction to capture a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds.We also focus on performance, using higher ingredient levels than are common in many products on the market. For example, capsules containing 10,000 mg of mushroom equivalent. We also combine with with well-studied active ingredients such as creatine, probiotics, or whey protein isolate. In addition, we include essential nutrients such as vitamin B12 and vitamin D3.To help you get the most from your routine, we provide access to a companion app that allows you to record your intake, track changes over time, and review your progress.

Dual extraction uses both hot water and alcohol to pull out the full range of beneficial compounds, like beta-glucans for immunity and hericenones for cognition. Single extraction leaves half the value behind. If a brand doesn’t mention dual extraction, assume they skipped it to cut costs. We don’t.

It’s simple. Track your progress in our free app for 45 days. If you don’t see progress, we’ll refund you. We believe results should be measurable. You’ll either see real progress or get your money back.

It varies by functional mushroom and user but it's generally longer than you would think. A good rule of thumb is to be consistent for 4-6 weeks before drawing any conclusions. Our pack sizes are designed to reflect this and offer the best value per serving possible even if our product isn't always the cheapest per pack.
