Not all mushroom extracts are created equal! Our certified organic mushrooms are naturally cultivated on nutritious substrates that are native to each mushroom - not on grains or rice. Also - importantly - we use only fruiting body (not mycelium) to ensure optimal amounts of each mushroom's unique active compounds including immuno-modulating beta-glucans, triterpenoids from reishi, and cordycepin from cordyceps.

All of the ingredients in Mushroom Cocoa Bliss are certified organic, from our carefully selected mushrooms and Peruvian cocoa, to our monk fruit natural sweetener. Supporting organic growers helps ensure sustainable agricultural practices and means that crops are grown without exposing workers to potentially harmful pesticides and herbicides. 

Monk fruit is a natural, plant-based sweetener that is many times sweeter than table sugar, yet it does not affect blood sugar levels. This makes it an ideal option when blood sugar management is a consideration.* Monk fruit also contains no carbohydrates, making it suitable for keto diets.

This amazing medicinal mushroom contains compounds that have been shown to stimulate the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that boosts the growth of new brain cells.* Research has also shown that lion's mane may potentially reduce memory loss, making it an excellent choice for helping to maintain healthy cognitive function.*

Used for millennia as a longevity tonic, reishi is revered as the "Mushroom of Immortality" for its remarkable tonifying (strengthening) benefits on the whole body.* Reishi's renowned adaptogenic properties help to re-establish calm and balance during the challenges of life's transitions, and strengthen our body's ability to manage stress and support overall vitality.* 

Technically, chaga's "fruiting body" is a tree growth (canker or conk) comprised of the mushroom's mycelium and the woody material of the host birch trees that it grows upon. It uses the birch tree as a source of nutrients to develop its unique and beneficial (to us) compounds. Chaga is traditionally used for strengthening immunity as well as for helping to maintain healthy digestive function.* 

Maitake contains high levels of beta-glucans, a special type of polysaccharide found in the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae, lichens, and plants. Beta-glucans have been shown to support the immune system by stimulating production of natural compounds that play a role in our defense against infections.* Maitake is additionally beneficial to brain and nerve function, and may also help in the maintenance of healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels.*

Cordyceps is both a traditionally used and well-researched medicinal mushroom, and is an excellent adaptogen for supporting overall health and wellbeing.*. It has been shown to improve energy, stamina, and endurance, making it especially helpful for exhaustion and fatigue.* Cordyceps provides healthy immune system support due to its beta-glucans as well as a unique polysaccharide called 'cordycepin.'* Every batch of our cordyceps is tested to confirm potency of these compounds.

Derived from the fruit of the cacao tree, cacao is much more than just a sumptuous and delicious chocolate indulgence. Cacao is rich in antioxidant polyphenols as well as phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound that triggers the release of mood-boosting endorphins.* Mushroom Cocoa Bliss is the ideal healthy, feel-good treat!
