Mushroom Capsule FAQ
How many servings are in one bottle?
Each bottle contains 60 servings, which is a 60 day supply.
What size are the capsules?
Each capsule is 2 cm (0.79 inches) long and contains 500 mg.
How potent are your capsules?
The industry standard is single extraction at a 1:1 ratio. This means 1 gram of mushroom materials is used to make 1 gram of extract. Our capsules contain up to a 10:1 ratio, which translates to 10x the medicinal compound as the original mushroom in dried form.
Are your mushroom extract capsules certified organic?
Yes, our mushroom extract capsules are certified by Organic Certifiers. They are USDA accredited, ISO 17065 and have been certifying the organic community since 1996. They were also one of the first accredited by the USDA in 2002.
Are your mushroom extract capsules vegan?
Yes, the only ingredients in our capsules are organic mushroom extracts and pullulan (a polysaccharide obtained from natural fermentation of plant extracts.)
Do your mushroom extract capsules contain preservatives?
No, they do not contain any preservatives.
Are your mushroom extract capsules non-GMO?
No genetically modified organisms are used in the manufacturing of our supplements.
Are your mushroom extract capsules Kosher?

Why do you use extracts to make the capsules instead of dried mushrooms?
Non-extracted mushroom products contain chitin, an indigestible fiber that reduces the bioavailability of medicinal compounds. Extracts ensure you receive exponentially more of the medicinal compounds found in each species.
Why are the extracts made from fruiting bodies and sclerotia instead of mycelium?
Medicinally, mycelium grown on grain contains low quantities of beta-glucans, high amounts of starch, and few secondary metabolites. To ensure maximum potency and absorption, our mushroom extract capsules are made with concentrated certified organic extracts made from 100% fruiting bodies and sclerotia.
What is sclerotia?
Sclerotia is a compact mass of hardened fungal mycelium containing food reserves for the mushroom. Some species, like chaga, form a sclerotia which is harvested for its medicinal compounds.
Are your mushroom extract capsules third-party tested?
Yes, each lot is tested prior to encapsulation and come with a third-party Certificate of Analysis.
Do you test for allergens?
Our supplements only contain mushroom extracts and pullulan (a polysaccharide obtained from natural fermentation of plant extracts.) Therefore, we do not test for allergens like milk, dairy, nuts, and gluten.
Do you test for medicinal compounds?
Yes, beta-glucans (β-1,3/1,6) are measured prior to encapsulation and are verified by a third-party Certificate of Analysis.
Do you test for microbes and heavy metals?

Do your mushroom extract capsules have any scent and/or flavor?

Can I combine mushroom supplements?
