Artist’s Conk Tincture Reviews and Information.

While Fungi Five is best for general immune and gut support*, our customers report a wide range of benefits. If you are sensitive to supplements, you may experience benefits from the individual mushrooms included in the blend, but the dominant effect will be immune and gut support*. If you are looking to support a particular system, we recommend using a dedicated tincture at its full serving size. Fungi Five Tincture Reviews and Information.

If you've been using our tinctures for 1-2 months without seeing the desired results, try increasing your daily serving by 1mL per week, up to 4mL.

If you've already increased your serving size and still don't notice benefits, you might be less sensitive to the effects. However, this doesn't mean you're not benefiting; some people perceive changes more gradually. Some customers only realize the tinctures were effective after stopping briefly and noticing the absence of benefits.

You may responsibly experiment with surpassing the suggested 4mL serving size for all of our tinctures except Chaga.

Everyone responds differently, so while one tincture might greatly impact you, another may not. If you'd like recommendations for which tinctures you should try, give us a call.

Our Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Maitake and Fungi Five tinctures are all energizing and stimulating. If you feel excessively energized or overstimulated, reduce your serving size to 1mL per day for a week. Then increase by 1mL per week (up to 4mL) until you reach your optimal energy levels.

Fungi in the Ganoderma genus (Reishi and Artist's Conk) have a calming effect. When taken during the day, most people notice a calm feeling rather than drowsiness. However, if you find it makes you drowsy, try it in the evening instead.

Alternatively, you could opt to add an energizing tincture or tea to your routine.

This is an incredibly rare instance.
