It depends on the mushroom, but our products are largely fruiting body based, alongside some mycelium/biomass in the full spectrum range which provides a wider range of key actives for best effects. We believe all parts of the mushroom have health benefits. We also use Reishi spores in our spore range, which are microscopic spores that the mushroom produces at the end of its growth cycle, these provide similar benefits but some nutrients are highly concentrated.

Whenever suits you! We like cordyceps earlier in the day to support stable energy levels, lions mane after lunch, or early afternoon to support brain function, and reishi in the evening for relaxation and calming. Consume them whenever you feel you need them.

You can combine medicinal mushrooms together for a full spectrum of the different nutrients they contain. Combine our capsules, powders, and lattes or look at our Myco blends which synergistically combine some of the most powerful medicinal mushrooms.

Yes our full range is certified Vegan friendly. None of our ingredients are animal derived, and our Cordyceps is not grown on insect hosts.

There is no difference whatsoever between our capsules and powders. The capsules just contain the powders in a vegetable based capsule.

We can't recommend the mushrooms during pregnancy or breastfeeding sorry! There aren't any studies in this area to establish safety, so we are unable to recommend. We would ask you to check with your healthcare practitioner

Yes our powders are simply encapsulated in vegetable caps, so if you want to mix it up and add the powder to a drink or smoothie you can.

They are not irradiated.

No they do not contain ethanol

Extraction ratios for each individual mushroom in the pure grade range is listed on the packaging/website/brochure etc.

Beta-glucans content varies for each mushroom, this is listed on the packaging/website. The key therapeutic compounds differ for each mushroom, the amounts of these can also be found on the packaging/website.

We have found over the years there can be significant colour and density differences from batch to batch across all mushroom extracts. This very much depends upon the harvest. As we do not use any additives, preservatives etc and are dealing with natural ingredients there can be slight variations in colour and taste from batch to batch. We can assure you that each batch is fully tested and will be of a similar quality each time.

Mycelium has been shown to be immunologically active and contains different compounds to the fruiting body, in certain mushrooms the mycelium secretes valuable compounds like Lion's Mane with the erinacines and Cordyceps with cordycepin, hence using it in certain products in our ranges. We grow our biomass for these products for 120 days (around 3-4 times longer than the majority on the market) which gives time for the beneficial compounds to be highly concentrated and also for the substrate to be exhausted.

The main difference between sinensis and militaris species is in the concentrations of 2 compounds: adenosine and cordycepin. Studies have shown that cordyceps sinensis contains more adenosine than cordyceps militaris, but little cordycepin which the militaris contains.

Pure grade is an extract and is more therapeutic than the Cordyceps Perform. The militaris species in pure grade is rich in cordycepin and is more geared towards respiratory and kidney health, with anti-viral and immune benefits. Cordyceps perform has a wider spectrum of compounds and actions for more general health. The sinensis species is rich in adenosine and means it is more geared towards energy support and exercise.

They are all pure grade extracts, made using hot-water extract of the fruiting body.

Approx 60mg.

Pure grade Lion's Mane is an extract and is more therapeutic than the Lion’s Mane Focus. The fruiting body extract is rich in hericenones and is more geared towards cognitive health and neuroprotection. The Lion’s Mane Focus contains pure fruiting body as well as the filaments and young fruiting bodies and has a broader range of compounds including both hericenones and erinacines, making it more of a lifestyle product for nootropic support, studying, and mental clarity.
