Worsening of autoimmune symptoms (in individuals with autoimmune conditions)
-
Liver toxicity (rare but reported with certain mushroom supplements, particularly Reishi with prolonged high-dose use)
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING — AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS:
Medicinal mushrooms can stimulate immune function. While this may be beneficial for supporting general immune health in healthy individuals, it can worsen symptoms in people with autoimmune conditions, where the immune system is already overactive and attacking the body's own tissues.
If you have lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or any other autoimmune condition, DO NOT use this product without medical supervision.
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING — IMMUNOSUPPRESSANT MEDICATIONS:
If you are taking immunosuppressant medications (after organ transplant, for autoimmune conditions, or for other reasons), medicinal mushrooms may interfere with your treatment by stimulating immune function that your medication is trying to suppress.
DO NOT use this product if you are taking:
- Organ transplant anti-rejection drugs (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, etc.)
- Corticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone, etc.)
- Biologics for autoimmune conditions (infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept, etc.)
- Chemotherapy drugs
- Other immunosuppressants
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING — BLEEDING DISORDERS AND BLOOD THINNERS:
Some medicinal mushrooms (particularly Reishi, Maitake, and Cordyceps) may have anticoagulant (blood-thinning) effects. If you have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood-thinning medications (Warfarin, Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Heparin, etc.), do NOT use this product without medical supervision.
If you are scheduled for surgery, discontinue this product at least 2 weeks prior to reduce bleeding risk during and after the procedure.
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING — DIABETES MEDICATION INTERACTION:
Some medicinal mushrooms (particularly Reishi and Maitake) may lower blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes or take medications that affect blood sugar (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, etc.), do NOT use this product without medical supervision.
Signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia):
- Shakiness, dizziness, confusion
- Rapid heartbeat, sweating
- Extreme hunger, irritability
- Blurred vision, weakness
If you experience these symptoms, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
Storage and Product Notes
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.
Product Notes:
-
This product may settle during shipping — this is normal and does not affect potency.
-
Natural colors (purple carrot juice concentrate) will darken over time — this is a natural process and does not alter the effectiveness of the product.
Understanding Mushroom Fruiting Body Extracts (10:1)
What Does "10:1 Extract" Mean?
A 10:1 extract ratio means that 10 pounds of fresh mushroom fruiting bodies are concentrated into 1 pound of extract powder. This concentration process:
- Removes water and fiber
- Concentrates bioactive compounds (polysaccharides/beta-glucans, triterpenes, antioxidants)
- Results in a more potent product compared to raw mushroom powder
Why Fruiting Bodies Matter:
This product uses fruiting body extracts (the mushroom caps and stems you see in nature), which are generally considered superior to mycelial biomass (root-like structures grown on grain substrate) because:
-
Higher polysaccharide (beta-glucan) content — fruiting bodies contain more immune-supporting compounds
-
No starch fillers — mycelium-on-grain products often contain significant grain substrate (starch)
-
Traditional use and research — most medicinal mushroom research and traditional medicine use fruiting bodies
What's in This Formula?
This supplement combines ten medicinal mushroom fruiting body extracts:
1. Maitake (Grifola frondosa):
"Dancing Mushroom" in Japanese. Traditionally used for immune support and metabolic health. Contains D-fraction polysaccharides.*
2. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes):
Culinary and medicinal mushroom rich in beta-glucans. Traditionally used for immune support and cardiovascular health.*
3. Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus):
Traditional use for cognitive support and nerve health. Preliminary research suggests potential neuroprotective properties.*
4. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum):
"Mushroom of Immortality" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditionally used for immune support, stress resilience, and longevity.*
5. Cordyceps:
Traditionally used in Tibetan and Chinese medicine for energy, endurance, and vitality.*
6. Chaga (Inonotus obliquus):
Traditionally used in Siberian and Northern European folk medicine. Rich in antioxidants.*
7. Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor):
One of the most researched medicinal mushrooms. Contains PSK and PSP polysaccharides studied for immune support.*
8. White Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus):
Common culinary mushroom with immune-supporting polysaccharides and antioxidants.*
9. Black Fungus (Auricularia auricula-judae / Wood Ear):
Traditionally used in Asian cuisine and medicine for cardiovascular and immune support.*
10. Royal Sun Mushroom (Agaricus blazei / Himematsutake):
Traditionally used in Brazilian and Japanese folk medicine for immune support and overall wellness.*
Important Considerations:
-
Total dosage per serving is not disclosed — while the product uses 10:1 extracts, the actual amount of each mushroom extract per serving is not specified, making it difficult to compare to research dosages or assess potency.
-
Beta-glucan content is not disclosed — the percentage of immune-supporting polysaccharides is not specified.
-
Most medicinal mushroom research is preliminary — while traditional use spans centuries, modern clinical evidence in humans is limited.
-
Results are subtle and not guaranteed — most people will not experience dramatic effects from mushroom supplementation.
Setting Realistic Expectations
✅ What This Supplement IS:
- A comprehensive gummy supplement combining ten medicinal mushroom fruiting body extracts (10:1 concentration)
- Designed to support immune function, cognitive health, energy, and overall wellness*
- A convenient, tasty alternative to capsules or powders
- Suitable for adults seeking mushroom supplementation as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
❌ What This Supplement is NOT:
- NOT a treatment for immune disorders, cognitive decline, fatigue, or any medical condition
- NOT a guaranteed cognitive enhancer, energy booster, or athletic performance enhancer (despite marketing claims)
- NOT a guaranteed immune booster (and may be dangerous for individuals with autoimmune conditions or taking immunosuppressants)
- NOT appropriate for pregnant/nursing women, children, or individuals with autoimmune conditions, bleeding disorders, diabetes, or those taking certain medications without professional guidance
- NOT a substitute for adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, or medical treatment for diagnosed conditions
⚠️ IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION:
While this product is marketed for "healthy cognitive functioning, increased energy levels, and athletic performance," supplements cannot significantly enhance these areas in healthy adults.
What the research actually shows:
-
Lion's Mane: Preliminary research suggests potential neuroprotective effects, but human evidence for cognitive enhancement is limited and dosages in research are typically much higher than what's likely in 2 gummies.
-
Cordyceps: Some studies suggest potential benefits for athletic performance and fatigue, but effects are subtle and not universal. Research dosages are typically 1,000-3,000 mg/day.
-
Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake, Turkey Tail, Chaga: Primarily studied for immune support, not cognitive function, energy, or athletic performance.
Bottom line: This product is unlikely to produce noticeable cognitive, energy, or performance enhancements. If you want these benefits:
-
Cognitive function: Prioritize sleep (7-9 hours/night), balanced nutrition, regular exercise, mental stimulation, stress management
-
Energy: Address root causes (adequate sleep, balanced diet, hydration, thyroid function, iron levels, physical activity)
-
Athletic performance: Follow evidence-based training programs, proper nutrition, hydration, recovery, and periodization
Mushroom supplementation is, at best, a minor addition — not a performance enhancer.
