FAQ
All of your mushrooms have been organically sourced and certified.
This depends on the mushroom. Please have a look in the image section for details regarding the mushroom extract.
We have a helpful article here which explains the different mushroom parts:
There is no difference in terms of benefits. The only difference is preference of use.
Our mushrooms come from different regions throughout the world. Each farm carefully selected for their generational know-how and farming methods. We work with farms in Inner Mongolia, Siberia, FuJian, ZheJiang, JiangSu, JiLin
If you have a mushroom allergy, you should not use these mushroom extracts.
Caution is advised if using mushrooms alongside blood thinning medication.
Lion's Mane should not be used by Asthmatic People.
If you’re pregnant – or trying to conceive – we recommend consulting your consultant before using medicinal mushrooms.
This is what Research says about the use of medicinal mushrooms during pregnancy:
Tests with mushrooms have shown no adverse affect on fertility, fetal abnormality and or penetration into the fetus or excretion in breast milk.
The only mushroom that has shown anti fertility actions is auricularia auricula and we would also advise not using this mushroom during pregnancy.
Reishi has been reported to have anti-coagulant activity so we would also suggest not using it during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
The optimal extraction method once again depends on the mushroom itself. Different methods are used to promote and dissolve the unique active ingredients in the mushroom extracts and hence create a high spectrum mushroom extract.
The 3 different extraction methods:
Alcohol (ethanol)
This extraction is used to draw out the fat-soluble compounds in the mushrooms, such as the adaptogenic terpenoids.
Hot water
This extraction is used to extract the water-soluble compounds, the polysaccharides, and the immunomodulating Beta-D-glucans. The dual extraction process ensures you’re getting the full spectrum of compounds when it comes to a potent mushroom extract.
Dual extraction
Dual extraction refers to a combination of water and alcohol extraction. The dual extraction process ensures you’re getting the full spectrum of compounds when it comes to a mushroom where the active ingredients benefit from both alcohol and well as a water extract.
Hot water extraction works best for:
Cordyceps, Turkey Tail & Maitake
Double (alcohol & water) extraction works best for:
Lion's Mane, Reishi, Chaga
The 8 mushroom blend is great for overall health whereas if you are treating something specific or trying to improve something specific then it is best to opt for that specific mushroom so you get a full dose.
Research regarding the use of medicinal mushrooms by children is still at its infancy. There is however an interesting study conducted in 2018 which investigated the effects of Reishi on immune system cells of 3-5 year olds.
The study showed that Reishi increased immune system cell counts in the peripheral blood, which are crucial for defending against infections. The treatments were also well-tolerated and safe, with no abnormal increases in serum creatinine or hepatic aminotransferases. While the study shows promise in the safety and effectiveness of the use of medicinal mushrooms in children, we do always suggest consulting with your child's doctor prior to introducing anything new into their diet.
If you do get the go ahead we suggest reducing the diet to 1/4 of a dose for young children.
These findings suggest the need for more extended controlled clinical trials to evaluate the effectiveness of medicinal mushrooms in preventing infections in children.
