Important Warnings and Cautions

⚠️ DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSE:

• Do not take more than 1 strip per day.

❌ DO NOT USE IF:

• You are pregnant or nursing (consult physician first — safety of medicinal mushroom supplementation during pregnancy/lactation is not well-established)
• You are under the age of 18 (consult physician first)
• You have a known medical condition (consult physician first)
• You have mushroom allergies or have experienced allergic reactions to fungi
• You have bleeding disorders or clotting issues (some medicinal mushrooms may have blood-thinning effects)
• You have autoimmune conditions (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc.) — medicinal mushrooms can stimulate immune function, which may worsen autoimmune symptoms

🩺 CONSULT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE USE IF YOU:

• Are taking prescription medications (especially immunosuppressants, blood thinners, chemotherapy drugs, diabetes medications, blood pressure medications)
• Are taking immunosuppressant medications (after organ transplant, for autoimmune conditions, etc.) — medicinal mushrooms may interfere with immunosuppression
• Have autoimmune conditions (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, Hashimoto's, etc.) — immune-stimulating mushrooms may worsen symptoms
• Have diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues (some medicinal mushrooms may affect blood sugar levels)
• Have bleeding disorders or are taking blood-thinning medications (Warfarin, Aspirin, Clopidogrel, etc.) — some mushrooms may have anticoagulant properties
• Have liver disease or impaired liver function (rare cases of liver toxicity have been reported with certain mushroom supplements)
• Have kidney disease or impaired kidney function
• Are scheduled for surgery (discontinue at least 2 weeks prior — some mushrooms may affect blood clotting and blood sugar during surgery)
• Are taking other supplements containing medicinal mushrooms or adaptogens (to avoid excessive intake)
• Have a history of allergic reactions to mushrooms or fungi

⚠️ POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS:

Common Side Effects (generally mild):

• Digestive upset, nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps (especially when first starting)
• Dry mouth or throat irritation (rare)
• Skin rash or itching (allergic reaction)

Serious Side Effects (rare but possible):

• Allergic reactions (hives, swelling, difficulty breathing — discontinue immediately and seek emergency medical attention)
• Bleeding or bruising (due to anticoagulant effects of some mushrooms)
• Blood sugar fluctuations (can cause hypoglycemia in diabetics taking medication)
• Worsening of autoimmune symptoms (in individuals with autoimmune conditions)

🚨 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 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 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

Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

Understanding Medicinal Mushroom Supplementation

What's in This Formula?

This supplement combines four functional mushroom extracts:

1. Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) — 30 mg:
Traditional use for cognitive support and nerve health. Preliminary research suggests potential neuroprotective properties and support for cognitive function through nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation, though human evidence is limited and preliminary. Traditionally used in Chinese and Japanese medicine for mental clarity and focus.*

2. Maitake (Grifola frondosa) — 25 mg:
"Dancing Mushroom" in Japanese. Traditionally used for immune support and metabolic health. Contains D-fraction polysaccharides studied for immune-modulating properties. May have blood sugar-lowering effects.*

3. Cordyceps sinensis (Cordyceps) — 25 mg:
Traditionally used in Tibetan and Chinese medicine for energy, endurance, and vitality. Some research suggests potential benefits for athletic performance and fatigue, though evidence is mixed. May have blood-thinning effects.*

4. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) — 20 mg:
Culinary and medicinal mushroom rich in beta-glucans. Traditionally used for immune support and cardiovascular health. Contains lentinan, a polysaccharide studied for immune-modulating properties.*

Important Considerations:

• Dosages in this product are very low — Most clinical studies of Lion's Mane use 500-3,000 mg/day; this product provides only 30 mg. Similarly, research dosages for other mushrooms are typically much higher than what's provided in a single strip.
• Effects are subtle and not guaranteed — At these low dosages, most people will not experience dramatic cognitive or energy effects.
• Most medicinal mushroom research is preliminary — while traditional use spans centuries, modern clinical evidence is limited, and many studies are in cells or animals, not humans.
• Quality and extraction methods matter — mushroom supplements vary widely in potency based on extraction methods, parts used (fruiting bodies vs. mycelium), and standardization. This product does not disclose extraction ratios or standardization.

Setting Realistic Expectations

✅ What This Supplement IS:

• A convenient oral strip supplement providing four functional mushroom extracts traditionally used for cognitive, energy, and immune support
• A low-dose mushroom blend suitable for adults seeking introductory mushroom supplementation
• A chocolate-flavored, fast-dissolving strip format for on-the-go convenience
• A complement to a balanced diet, adequate sleep, stress management, and healthy lifestyle

❌ What This Supplement is NOT:

• NOT a guaranteed cognitive enhancer or "focus booster" (dosages are low and effects are subtle)
• NOT a treatment for ADHD, dementia, cognitive decline, or any medical condition
• NOT an energy booster or replacement for adequate sleep, nutrition, and hydration
• 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 evidence-based cognitive strategies (adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, mental stimulation, stress management)

Understanding "Mental Clarity" and "Focus" Claims

⚠️ IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION:
While this product is marketed for "mental clarity" and "focus," supplements cannot significantly enhance cognitive function in healthy adults.

What the research actually shows:

• Lion's Mane: Preliminary research suggests potential neuroprotective effects and NGF stimulation, but human evidence is limited, and studies typically use 500-3,000 mg/day (this product provides only 30 mg).
• Cordyceps: Some studies suggest potential benefits for fatigue and endurance, but effects are subtle and not universal. Dosages in research are typically 1,000-3,000 mg/day (this product provides only 25 mg).
• Maitake and Shiitake: Primarily studied for immune support, not cognitive function.

Bottom line: At these low dosages, this product is unlikely to produce noticeable cognitive or energy effects. If you want reliable mental clarity and focus:

• Prioritize sleep (7-9 hours per night — non-negotiable for brain function)
• Stay hydrated (dehydration impairs cognitive function)
• Eat a balanced diet (omega-3s, antioxidants, whole grains, vegetables)
• Exercise regularly (improves blood flow to the brain)
• Manage stress (chronic stress impairs memory and concentration)
• Use effective focus strategies (time management, breaks, minimizing distractions)

Mushroom supplementation is, at best, a minor addition — not a substitute for foundational healthy behaviors.

When to Consult a Healthcare Provider

• Have diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues
• Are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant
• Are scheduled for surgery (discontinue at least 2 weeks prior)
• Experience unusual symptoms (allergic reactions, bleeding, blood sugar fluctuations) after using this product (discontinue immediately and seek medical attention)
• Are experiencing persistent cognitive difficulties, memory problems, or mental health concerns (can indicate underlying medical conditions that require professional evaluation)
