Functional mushrooms have a long history of use in Asia and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Their health supporting benefits may be a powerful addition to your nutrition. Extraction methods are needed to make the favorable compounds bioavailable. There is an interesting synergy with cacao, and thus combine very well with a cacao drink.

We offer two functional (medicinal) mushroom blends: IMMUNITY and FOCUS & ENERGY. These are concentrated extracts, 8 to 10 times stronger than standard mushroom powders. Also they are exceptionally high in their beta-glucan polysaccharides content: 30-40%.

⬖ IMMUNITY: Reishi + Chaga (50gr)

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) also known as Lingzhi or the “Mushroom of Immortality” is used to support the immune system, reduce stress, improve sleep and lessen fatigue. It contains a high level of active beta-(1>3)-glucans and triterpenoids.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) also known as the “king of mushrooms” is traditionally used for immunity issues and stomach illnesses. It is unique in its high content of inotodiol, trametenolic acid and betulinic acid, which it draws from the birch trees on which it lives. It is wild harvested for the highest quality.

How to dose:

The advised daily dose is 0,5~1gr. We recommend to see what dose is good for you personally. We all have different bodies, sensitivities and goals.

One teaspoon is ±1gr. You can use a precision scale to know exactly. A little more or less is both safe. Note that one gram of this extract contains 8-10 gram of dried mushroom, which equals about 10x fresh mushrooms. This gives a good idea how concentrated it is.

How to use:

This extract powder dissolves easily in your drink. Add it to your cacao, coffee, tea, smoothie or even in hot water as a tea. You can also add it to your food, in energy balls, and all your imagination.

A food supplement is not a replacement for food. Please eat healthy, sleep and exercise! Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding as there is lack of research on possible negative effects. Better to avoid in combination with carbonated drinks and pharmaceutical medicine. When in doubt check with your general practitioner or doctor.

Store dry! After opening it will stay good for ±6 months.
