Mushroom Extract FAQ
Yes. About 26% organic cane alcohol. The rest is a potent hot-water extraction.
Together that's what makes it a double extraction, pulling both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds from the mushroom for maximum effect.
All of our tinctures are gluten-free except Cordyceps.
Store tinctures in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. A kitchen cabinet or nightstand is perfect.
DO NOT freeze or refrigerate tinctures. This may cause harmless changes in texture/consistency.
Shelf stable indefinitely, but we recommend using them within 3 years for max freshness.
Yes. Coffee, tea, juice, water - anything works as long as it isn't scalding. Let hot drinks cool to a comfortable drinking temperature first. High heat can degrade some of the beneficial compounds.
No. We use fruiting bodies and/or sclerotia. We don't work with pure mycelium or myceliated-grain at this time.
A trace amount of natural mycelium may be present at the base of the fruiting body, but that's it.
Yes. Taking multiple tinctures together is completely fine, and most of our customers do it. We encourage finding your Symbiotic Stack.
We don't recommend exceeding 8 different tinctures per day. For reference, a full serving of 8 tinctures contains about the same amount of alcohol as half a beer. That's the practical ceiling, not a hard rule.
One thing worth knowing: if you're already taking two or more individual tinctures, skip Fungi Five. It's a general wellness blend, and your custom stack already covers that ground. No need to double up.
If you're new to tinctures, start small. Take 1 to 2 at a time before adding more. It sounds obvious, but if you start everything at once, you won't know what's working for you.
While cats cannot have tinctures at all due to their alcohol content, dogs can greatly benefit from tinctures.

Serving Sizes Across Brands and Products
Not all mushroom tinctures are made the same way, and serving sizes reflect that.
The right dose depends on how the extract was made: how much mushroom went in, how it was extracted, and how concentrated the final liquid is. Our 4mL serving was built around our specific formulation to deliver an effective, high dose of mushroom. It's not arbitrary.
Dosage advice you find elsewhere may not translate. Form changes everything.
- Whole mushrooms and culinary preparations have low bioavailability, one would have to eat a LOT (2000mg) to see any nutraceutical effect.
- Liquid extractions like our Mushroom Tinctures are high dose and high bioavailability.
- Powdered extracts land somewhere in between: high dose, but lower bioavailability than liquid.
Follow the serving size of the specific product you are using. You can find serving info on the back of the product.
