Functional mushrooms are a group of mushrooms that have been used traditionally in Asian medicine for their unique properties for thousands of years. They contain compounds such as beta-glucans, triterpenes and antioxidants. These substances are currently the subject of research and traditional use - often related to training, performance, recovery and general well-being.
The mushrooms undergo a unique dual extraction process where we use both pure, filtered water and alcohol to ensure a wide range of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble components - so you can get the most out of the mushrooms' health benefits. Our Chaga and Lion's Mane extracts contain more than 20% beta-glucans 1,3/1,6, while the Reishi extract contains more than 30%. The careful and gentle extraction process is one of the things that sets us apart from the crowd and ensures that you get the most potent and purest mushroom supplements available on the market.
Our products are also analyzed in depth with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at the molecular level - to verify high content of bioactive nutrients - far above industry standards.
Tincture: Fast absorption and high bioavailability. Often longer shelf life than recommended on the bottle. Mixes easily into food and drink. 4.4g mushroom/dose (6g for reishi), 25 doses. Liquid extract: Gentle and a good alternative for sensitive stomachs or those who prefer to avoid alcohol. Mixes easily into drink. 4.5g mushroom/dose (6g for reishi), 33 doses. Powder: Largest amount of mushroom per dose. Tasty and goes well as/in tea. Highest cost-effectiveness per amount of mushroom. 15g mushroom/dose (20g for reishi), 50 doses. Amount of mushroom per dose is adapted to the bioavailability of the product forms.
To ensure that the mushrooms are not contaminated, all raw materials and extracts undergo extensive microbial testing in China, including tests for bacteria, yeast, salmonella, mold, E. coli, coliform bacteria, heavy metals and pesticides. A Certificate of Inspection (COI) is issued by Eurofins and registered in the European Commission’s certification platform. Additional testing and spot checks are carried out on the same variables in Europe by LABRIS, a state agency under the Estonian Ministry of Agriculture. Packaging is carried out according to ISO standards and HACCP standards, respectively. Finished product is tested again by LABRIS to ensure their safety and quality.
Our producer worked for two years to select and verify the most serious and professional mushroom growers in the mountainous area of northern China, who grow certified organic mushrooms on natural substrates and follow sustainable methods without the use of pesticides, chemicals or GMOs. The area was chosen because there are several thousand years of experience in the cultivation and use of these mushrooms - no other country has such a long experience. For safety reasons, the mushrooms undergo rigorous lab testing in China and Europe and are certified by Eurofins before export and LABRIS after export.
The fact that our supplements are organic means that the mushrooms grow on natural substrates such as hardwood trunks and cottonseed hulls in environments with natural light and constant fresh air, or are harvested from the wild. They are harvested by hand when they are at their best and then dried in a natural way. The production takes place without synthetic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This is to exclude the risk of chemical residues or harmful substances in the final product, and to ensure raw materials of the highest quality. Production and cultivation are regularly inspected by an authorized certification body.
We are happy to collaborate with cafes or retailers who want to complement their range with functional sponges of the highest quality.

Lion's Mane has been used for thousands of years and although side effects are uncommon, there are groups of people for whom this dietary supplement is not suitable. Some people may experience allergic reactions to Lion's Mane. Large doses of Lion's Mane may cause stomach upset, including bloating or diarrhea. Lion's Mane is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women or for children. Start with a low dose and consult a healthcare professional if you are taking any medications or have a medical diagnosis.
Chaga has been used for thousands of years and although side effects are rare, there are groups of people for whom this dietary supplement is not suitable. Those who are allergic to mushrooms or birch should avoid Chaga. Chaga is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for children. We advise that you start with a low dose. Consult a healthcare professional if you are taking any medication or suffer from any medical diagnosis. In particular, those who take blood thinners, medications that affect blood sugar or suppress the immune system, suffer from autoimmune diseases or kidney problems should consult a doctor before use (this is because Chaga, like spinach, contains oxalic acid which, if consumed excessively, can aggravate kidney stones).
Reishi has been used for thousands of years and although side effects are rare, there are groups of people for whom this dietary supplement is not suitable. Those who are allergic to mushrooms should avoid Reishi. Not recommended for pregnant, breastfeeding women or children. Consult a healthcare professional if you are taking any medication or have any medical diagnosis. In particular, those who are taking blood thinners or blood pressure-related medications, taking medications that suppress the immune system or suffering from liver disease should consult a doctor before use.
