Our Mission

 

We revive health with functional mushrooms so you can go back to feeling your best self. For thousands of years dating back to ancient civilizations, humans have utilized the revitalizing properties of fungi to support mental and physical health. We’re here to revive that ancient philosophy in you to help promote a healthy lifestyle. To put it lightly, we are absolutely obsessed with the power of mushrooms, and hope you will be too.

- What Are Functional Mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms are valued for benefits beyond their nutritional content. They fall into two main categories: nootropic and adaptogenic mushrooms.

Nootropic Mushrooms: Nootropic mushrooms contain compounds that support cognitive function and brain health. These mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. By supporting cellular health, nootropic mushrooms may enhance thinking, learning, and memory. Their antioxidative and cytotoxic properties contribute to overall well-being, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet.

Adaptogenic Mushrooms: Adaptogenic mushrooms contain adaptogens, compounds that help the body adapt to various stressors, including chemical, biological, and physical stress. Adaptogens work by supporting the body's stress response system, helping it function optimally under stress. Instead of targeting specific symptoms, adaptogens help maintain overall balance, promoting resilience and stability. By integrating adaptogenic mushrooms into your routine, you can support your body's natural ability to handle stress effectively.

General Benefits of Functional Mushrooms

Functional mushrooms have a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine and alternative medicine. They are now gaining recognition in Western science for their potential health benefits. All functional mushroom species contain several important compounds and properties that deliver various benefits to the consumer, such as:

  • Beta-glucans: These powerful polysaccharides are soluble fibers that have been shown to promote healthy immune system function. Beta-glucans may also play a key role in supporting cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels and promoting heart health.
  • Immune-supporting compounds: In addition to beta-glucans, functional mushrooms contain various other compounds that support immune system function. These compounds help the body defend against pathogens and maintain a robust immune response.
  • Antioxidants: Functional mushrooms are rich repositories of antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals. Antioxidants support cellular function and contribute to overall health and longevity by reducing oxidative stress.
  • Vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds: Functional mushrooms provide a wide range of nutrients, including essential vitamins and minerals that support overall well-being. These nutrients help maintain energy levels, promote healthy skin and hair, and support various bodily functions.


    Are Functional Mushrooms Hallucinogenic?

    Functional mushrooms are not hallucinogenic and do not contain any euphoric compounds. Psychedelic mushrooms, on the other hand, contain psilocybin, a naturally occurring hallucinogen. Psilocybin is federally illegal and a Schedule 1 drug under The Controlled Substances Act (CSA).    

    Are Functional Mushrooms Legal?

    Yes, functional mushrooms are 100% legal. Functional mushrooms are considered dietary supplements and regulated as food, not drugs, by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It’s also important to note that the FDA has not approved the use of functional mushrooms for medical purposes, nor do they consider them to be preventative solutions, treatments, or cures for any diseases or medical conditions you may or may not have.
