Here's how to get started correctly with our liquid extracts and drink powders

Are you curious about the effects of our medicinal mushrooms and want to get started right away? Great! If you have no known allergies or intolerances and only want to use one of the extracts, you can begin taking it immediately. Our extracts are designed to be easily and conveniently integrated into your daily routine – for more energy, balance, and well-being.

If you want to start with two or more extracts at the same time, you have two options: You can start with all of them at once – but please start with a small dose (e.g. 1/8 tsp per product) and increase it slowly, as described below.
Or you can opt for a gradual approach: Start with one extract and give your body a week to adjust. If you feel good, you can gradually add another extract. This way, you'll also get a good sense of how each mushroom affects you.

Sometimes your body may react to the first few doses with so-called initial reactions. This is because the mushrooms can stimulate detoxification. Common symptoms include mild headaches, restless sleep, digestive changes, or skin irritations.
Especially if you already have allergies or intolerances, your body is particularly sensitive to anything new. These symptoms are usually not a sign of a true intolerance, but rather an indication that your body is reacting to the activation of its self-regulation mechanisms. Give it time.

Do you have allergies, intolerances, or are you sensitive to new things?

If you know that you are generally sensitive to new substances or already have allergies and intolerances, it is best to start particularly gently.
Start with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per day. Maintain this small dose for about a week. If you feel comfortable with this, increase to 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon daily and gradually increase further until you reach about 1 teaspoon per day – this is our recommended daily dose for optimal results.

Should you experience detoxification reactions such as headaches, digestive issues, or skin reactions, simply reduce the dose slightly. Once the symptoms have subsided, you can gradually increase the dosage again. This allows your body to gradually adjust to the powerful effects of the medicinal mushrooms.

It can also be taken by children aged 6 and older – but remember: less is more. Depending on their age, about 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoons a day is perfectly sufficient to benefit from the positive effects. Children often react more quickly and intensely, which is why a gentle dosage is particularly important.

You can use our extracts very flexibly: straight from the spoon, stirred into water, juice, smoothies, or mixed into food. The only important thing is that the temperature of the drink or dish does not exceed 70 degrees Celsius, as the valuable active ingredients can be damaged at higher temperatures.

With this gentle, mindful introduction, you ensure that nature's little helpers can unfold their full potential within your body. And the best part: you decide how quickly you progress. Your body will show you the right pace.

Here's how to get started with our drink powders

In addition to our highly concentrated liquid extracts, we also offer delicious powdered drinks – such as our Mushroom Cacao, Golden Mushroom Milk, Mushroom Smoothie, and Mushroom Tea. These blends also contain high-quality medicinal mushroom extracts, but are generally less concentrated than our liquid extracts. Therefore, fewer or no initial reactions typically occur when taking them.

However, in addition to the mushrooms, our powdered products also contain other functional ingredients such as turmeric, ginger, maca, cocoa, pepper extracts, and plant-based adaptogens. For most people, this is a wonderful combination. If you suffer from allergies, food intolerances , or a particularly sensitive digestive system , however, you should be especially careful when starting out. In such cases, it may be advisable to initially try only half a serving or to use our pure liquid extracts. These contain only mushroom extracts in glycerin, without any additional plant extracts or spices – and are therefore often better tolerated by sensitive individuals after a proper adjustment period.

The basic principle is: listen to your body. If you tolerate our drink powders well, you can usually start with the full serving and easily integrate the effects into your daily routine – for example, in the morning for more focus, at midday to support your immune system, or in the evening for relaxation.
