The Best of The Best

Ingredients for staying strong.

Organic Chaga Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) supports immune function and has been used for hundreds of years. Us Finns used it as a coffee substitute back in WWII when beans weren’t available. We wildcraft our Chaga, which means we get it directly from birch trees (with sustainable practice). Then we extract its wood-fruiting bodies and spray-dry the concentrate. The final product is a mixable, organic powder with no fillers, or carriers.

Organic Reishi Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Reishi is known as the queen of mushrooms and was once reserved for royalty. It helps support occasional stress, which we all need. We use linden log-grown Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and extract the fruiting bodies. Then we package up the organic powder with no fillers, or carriers so you can easily chill.

Organic Cordyceps (150 mg per serving)

Cordyceps are famous among endurance athletes all around the world. Studies show that it supports energy and endurance. The power comes from the fruiting body of Cordyceps mushroom. In nature, it grows on caterpillars, but we love our multi-legged furry friends so we don’t use that kind. Ours are 100% vegan and cruelty free.

Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is your brain’s best friend when you want to get stuff done. To bring you the most benefits, we extract the lion’s mane wood-grown fruiting bodies and then spray-dry the concentrate. The result is a mixable, organic powder with no fillers, or carriers.

Organic Shiitake Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Recognized for its many benefits, especially for the ability to support glowing skin from the inside out, these delicious mushrooms have been used for hundreds of years to support wellbing. To keep you well, it's organic and free from fillers and carriers.

Organic Maitake Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Maitake means “dancing mushroom” in Japanese, and it will surely have you jumping for joy. Maitake has been studied for its many benefits, including its immune function and its ability to support blood sugar. Dance just as freely as this extract is free from fillers and carriers.

Organic Enokitake Mushroom (150mg per serving)

Not just for your ramen bowl, enokitake is a striking mushroom with striking antioxidant properties. Also striking? This extract is free from fillers and carriers.

Organic Agaricus Blazei Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Not easy to say 5 times fast, Agaricus Blazei has been studied for its many benefits, including immune function support. You can find it growing, free from fillers and carriers, predominantly in the northern hemisphere, including North America.

Organic Meshima Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Now this is a weird name. Meshima translates to “women’s island” and has been used in Japan for a very long time to promote overall wellbeing. It’s just as free from fillers and carriers, as you’d feel on a women’s island.

Organic Tremella Mushroom (150 mg per serving)

Stories are told about Tremella’s ability to achieve a “face that puts flowers to shame.” So buy yourself a bouquet so you can compare tomorrow. Of course, it’s beautifully free of fillers and carriers.

Organic Rose Hips

We’ve always held these beautiful, deep red vitamin C bombs close to our heart. As kids, we used to play with the “itching powder” from the inside of these fruits and later on, we started eating them as a tasty roadside snack.

6 Ways to Be Sure You're Buying the Best Functional Mushroom Supplements

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The North American market for functional mushroom supplements is mushrooming. A forecast from Grand View Research anticipates the size of the mushroom market covering the U.S., Canada and Mexico will grow from $612.2 million in 2024 to $1.41 billion in 2030. So, what’s behind the rising popularity of functional mushroom supplements, whose benefits supposedly go beyond nutrition?

Some of the Best Functional Mushroom Supplements on White Board With Whole and Chopped Up Mushrooms

A longtime staple of Chinese medicine, functional mushrooms may offer a number of health benefits, such as supporting memory, focus, mood and longevity, according to University of Utah Health. They might even help protect cellular health, says Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.^† “Unfortunately, these claimed benefits don’t stack up to the research,” says University of Utah Health. “While some of the claimed benefits of functional mushrooms have some research to support their use, most of the research supporting these claims is done in animal models, and more human research is needed.”

How to Choose the Best Functional Mushroom Supplements

In many cases, people who believe in the power of functional mushrooms are turning to mushroom supplements. These supplements come in the form of capsules, coffees, gummies, powders, teas and tinctures, for example. So, if you want to hop on the mushroom-supplement bandwagon, how do you choose the best supplements? Here are seven tips.

1. Consider the manufacturer’s reputation

The Mushroom Revival website suggests selecting an established mushroom-supplement brand “that is devoted to providing its customers with the excellent benefits of functional mushrooms. You can gain insight into a supplement brand’s reputation by taking a look at its product recall history and their [product] certifications.”

2. Weigh the product’s certifications

Any mushroom supplement you buy should have undergone third-party lab testing, Mushroom Revival says. In addition, you should seek out brands that sell non-GMO and USDA-certified organic supplements. And depending on dietary or medical needs, you should ensure that the seller has secured external certification to ensure the supplements are Kosher, vegan or gluten-free, says Mushroom Revival.

3. Know the parts of mushrooms

Experience Life, a publication of Life Time Fitness, points out that we typically look at a mushroom solely as the above-ground fruiting body of the fungus, which stems from the mycelium, the rootlike system that grows in soil, wood and other materials. “Picture the mycelium as a giant, far-reaching underground tree and mushrooms as the fruit,” says Experience Life. Fruiting bodies and mycelium offer loads of health benefits, mycologist Christopher Hobbs, who studies fungi, tells Experience Life. But in some instances, the fruiting body contains less starch and provides more medicinal benefits, according to the magazine. What does all of this mean? Figure out how much of a mushroom supplement consists of the fruiting body and how much consists of the mycelium. Doing so might lead to greater health benefits.

4. Look for fillers

Avoid mushroom supplements loaded with grains and fillers to bulk up the products without boosting the nutritional value, says Mushroom Revival.

5. Consider the price

The price of a mushroom supplement can help determine its quality. “Do not opt for supplements that are too cheap, as the quality of these products may not be up to snuff, due to the lower price and profit margin,” says Mushroom Revival. “Try to aim for products in the average range, with a competitive price that isn’t suspiciously low.”

6. Be suspicious of health claims

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center warns that many mushroom supplements base health claims on lab studies where the level of active ingredients was much higher than the amount found in a few capsules. As a result, health claims may be skewed. Furthermore, a supplement might not contain the active ingredient used in clinical trials of the product, according to Memorial Sloan Kettering. For instance, many mushroom supplements contain only crude amounts of mushroom powder or mycelium that weren't tested in the clinical trials, the hospital says. Keep in mind that the FDA doesn’t require makers of mushroom supplements to prove safety and effectiveness. In other words, it doesn’t verify health claims made by mushroom-supplement manufacturers. Given that so many mushroom supplements are sold today, health claims can differ greatly from one manufacturer to another, according to a study published in 2021 by the International Journal of Molecular Science. That may be true even if species, doses, preparations and manufacturing practices are alike, the study says. “In the absence of standardization, significant differences can be found even in different batches from the same manufacturer,” according to the study. ^†These statements have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
