Yes. As with all our nutritional products, consistency is the key to long-term health results.

Because they keep us healthy! Simply put, mushroom fruiting bodies are one of the most powerful immune-strengthening superfoods on Earth. Scientific research has shown that they contain hundreds of therapeutic compounds and have immune-enhancing properties, sharpen cognitive function, and provide an adaptogenic balance to help our bodies function optimally. They’ve been revered by the Chinese for centuries for providing energy and as an aphrodisiac. Mushrooms are just now becoming popular health tonics in Western culture and offer real therapeutic value.

Mushroom fruiting body extracts are some of the lightest and fluffiest superfoods in the world. As such, they settle a lot when stored/ shipped. 3g is the equivelant of 2 level teasppons. 

Mushrooms are about 25% protein, 58% carbohydrates, and 3% fat. The rest is vitamins and minerals. Do you test for heavy metals? Yes, we require all our whole superfood nutritional supplements to be tested during production and bottling for heavy metals. We follow the American Health Products Association’s (AHPA) guidelines for heavy metals in compliance with CA Prop 65.

It’s always best to drink any whole food powders on an empty or light stomach for optimal absorption. Many people like to add it to their Ultimate Elixir for an extra boost or it can be consumed anytime throughout the day for added energy and vitality.

The vast majority of mushroom products on the market use mycelium which is a cheaper form and contains significantly fewer beta-glucans and other health-enhancing actives. Technically, mycelium is not even considered a “mushroom” in and of itself as it’s the underground filament network comparable to a tree’s roots. In fact, it is not required by law to state on the label which part of the mushroom you are using so it is up to the company’s integrity to disclose.

Adaptogens are non-toxic substances that balance our bodies and are safe to be taken for long periods of time. Adaptogens produce a non-specific biological response that improves the body’s ability to resist illness from physical, chemical, emotional, and other biological stressors. Adaptogens have a strong influence on the body towards homeostatic balance. This means that they move the body in the direction of a normal homeostatic balance. If stress hormones are too high, they lower and stabilize them and if stress hormones are too low, they raise and stabilize them.

Hot-water extraction helps to break down the cell walls of the mushroom fruiting bodies which make their valuable immune-modulating beta-glucans and other compounds more prevalent, bio-available and at higher levels. Compared to simply grinding raw mush-rooms into powder which results in beta-glucans levels below 1%, our hot-water extracted mushroom blend consists of 100% mushroom fruiting bodies with guaranteed beta-glucan levels not less than 30%.

If you’re only going to consume one of our nutritional formulas, we always recommend you begin with The Ultimate Elixir, as it contains a full spectrum of 25 superfoods and super greens for overall nutrition including 500mg of our organic mushroom blend of Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake, and Shiitake. However, the healing and immune-strengthening properties of mushroom fruiting bodies are so beneficial to our health that we believe a higher dosage than 500mg per day is needed for maximum benefits.

Ultimate Shrooms has a very pleasant nutty and earthy flavor similar to a mild coffee. In fact, many people use it as an enlightened caffeine-free alternative to coffee. It can be served simply by mixing with water, your favorite juice, milk substitute, or smoothie. It can also be mixed into hot water as a coffee or tea substitute. Since the mushroom fruiting bodies are hot-water extracted to break down cell walls to make the beta-glucans avail-able, nothing is destroyed when you mix it at higher temperatures during consumption.

Ultimate Shrooms is a powder because mushrooms are food and we believe that we should all experience nutrition-al foods through our tongue and mouth to optimize digestion and absorption. Would you want to eat your favorite foods wrapped in a capsule? Not only do capsules and tablets have less absorption, but they can be irritating to the throat and stomach lining. When we learn to associate how food tastes to how food makes us look and feel, we begin to appreciate the wonderful flavors and benefits in these miraculous superfoods.

All of our mushroom extracts are made from certified organic mushroom fruiting bodies cultivated on logs in the climate and region they are found growing naturally. Our mushroom farmers have over 40 years of mushroom growing experience and are one of the first companies to bring organic medicinal mushrooms to North America. Our mushroom fruiting bodies are tested multiple times before and after bottling to ensure purity, strength, and maximum beta-glucan levels.

Yes, it is very safe to take this formula more than once a day. However, we feel that the ideal daily dosage should range between 3 to 5 grams/day, meaning 1 serving of The Ultimate Elixir and 1 scoop of Ultimate Shrooms daily would be an ideal therapeutic dosage.

Mushroom fruiting body extracts are some of the lightest and fluffiest superfoods in the world. As such, they settle a lot when stored/ shipped. Be assured that we fill our product by weight and not by volume and have individually verified that Ultimate Shrooms contains at least 30 servings (3g each). Each bag and bottle is uniformly filled, weighed and certified as 100% true to spec by our USDA organic lab which is GMP Certified for Good Manufacturing Practices.
