This blend is formulated to support immune health, gut health, and overall vitality. Each mushroom contributes unique compounds that work synergistically to promote balance and resilience in the body. Anyone looking to support their immune system, gut health, or general well-being — especially during times of stress, travel, or seasonal changes.
The combination of the mushrooms provides a powerful suite of potential benefits, including:
Shiitake: Rich in beta-glucans and lentinan, supports immune function, heart health, and has antiviral properties.
Oyster: Contains ergothioneine and lovastatin, supporting antioxidant defense, cardiovascular health, and inflammation modulation.
Turkey Tail: Known for polysaccharopeptides (PSP & PSK), it’s a powerful immune modulator and gut microbiome supporter.
How do I take this tincture?
Take 1–2 droppers daily under the tongue or mixed into a drink. Consistency is key — daily use helps maintain benefits over time. All three mushrooms are edible and well-researched. Daily use is common. However, if you’re immunocompromised or on medications, consult a healthcare provider first.
What does it taste like?
It has an earthy, savory flavor typical of mushrooms, with some mild bitterness from the extraction. Mixing it into tea, broth, or juice can make it more palatable.
How is the tincture made?
We use a dual-extraction method (hot water + alcohol) of only whole fruiting mushrooms we grow and forage to ensure both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds are captured for maximum potency.
How should I store it?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. No refrigeration needed. Properly stored, it can last 2+ years.
