How do the liquid extracts and drink powders from smaints differ?
The world of medicinal mushrooms is so diverse! And yet, it remains relatively unknown in many areas. Vital mushrooms have long been used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They are usually available in preparations such as capsules or powders. You have to figure out the application, dosage, and effects yourself. Which mushroom do I use for what, and how? Often, the quality and origin are questionable or unknown. Not exactly practical for everyday life, is it? That's why our mission with smaints is to offer medicinal mushrooms that are easy to integrate into daily life, quick and versatile to use, and delicious. You can rely on maximum quality and effectiveness. Our four pillars are based on the following four principles:
- simplicity
- effectiveness
- Holistic approach
- naturalness
We use dual-extracted medicinal mushroom extracts in all our products, which contain the active ingredients of the mushrooms in a highly concentrated form. This is a major advantage over simple extracts or mushroom powders.
Furthermore, our mushrooms are 100% organically grown in the EU. This is the only way to guarantee absolute purity and effectiveness. The product is then bottled, analyzed, and certified in Germany. We combine traditional medicine with modern science. We developed targeted formulas in collaboration with experts. Our products are sugar-free, vegan, and free of all additives. It's important to us that you can optimally absorb the valuable ingredients. Our carefully crafted formulas and innovative extraction process ensure this.
The smaints product range is divided into four main categories or pillars. Each pillar contains two core products: a powdered drink mix and a highly concentrated liquid extract. But what's the difference, and which product is right for me?
The Smaints drink powder
This includes the following products in their respective pillars:
Smaints beverage powders are effective combinations of active ingredients for every pillar. They always consist of the following components:
- Functional flavor carriers (e.g. cocoa as a serotonin donor, turmeric, …)
- High-quality medicinal mushroom extracts for the respective pillar goal (e.g. Cordyceps for Focus)
- Supportive plant adaptogens that support the respective column target (e.g., piperine, acerola, …)
Our mission is to make integrating medicinal mushrooms into everyday life simple and effective. smaints drink powders can be easily mixed with water or milk (or a milk alternative) and, thanks to their pleasant taste, are ideal for incorporating into your daily routine. Don't worry, you won't taste the mushrooms!
Thanks to our four pillars, the application goal is easy to understand (Focus, Immune, Night, Balance). In simple terms, the drink powders are "all-in-one" solutions for more focus and energy (Focus pillar), for the immune system (Immune pillar), for inner balance (Balance pillar), and for sleep (Night pillar).
We have spent a long time developing and testing our innovative combinations of active ingredients together with experts, so that perfectly coordinated formulations with respective effects can be achieved, resulting in a positive taste experience.
Our drink powders are also perfect for creating fantastic recipes. Feel free to browse here and get inspired.
All drinks can be taken as needed and individually adjusted. You can take them occasionally or as a course of treatment and combine them with other products. Each container includes a measuring scoop for a daily dose (mix with approximately 200 to 300 ml of liquid). At the end, we'll provide a helpful overview of how you can combine our products and when you should ideally take them for maximum effectiveness.
Who are the powder products suitable for?
We recommend smaints drink powders if you are looking for an effective, tasty and simple solution or routine in the areas of Focus, Immune, Night or Balance.
They can be used to create wonderful dishes that are not only delicious but also very effective. They are also particularly well-suited for getting started in the world of "little saints".
The smaints liquid extracts
This includes the following products in their respective pillars:
- Focus: Pure Focus liquid extract
- Immune: Pure Immune Liquid Extract
- Night: Pure Night liquid extract
- Balance: Pure Balance Liquid Extract
The smaints liquid extracts are highly concentrated and highly bioavailable mushroom extracts produced using an innovative extraction and manufacturing process.
Unlike the powdered drinks, they consist "only" of mushroom extracts. However, they are all the more potent in their active ingredients. They generally always consist of the following components:
- 2 medicinal mushroom extracts for the respective pillar goal (e.g. Cordyceps and Hericium for Focus)
- Carrier substance glycerin (alcohol-free, sweet taste + maximum bioavailability)
- Acerola extract to support bioavailability
The liquid extracts are particularly easy to use. You can take them straight on a teaspoon or mix them into your favorite drink. The taste is pleasantly sweet and reminiscent of a mixture of honey and cough syrup. Don't worry, you won't taste any mushrooms, and there are no sweeteners included.
Our liquid extract can be absorbed directly into the body through the oral mucosa, allowing it to take effect efficiently. A key feature is that just one teaspoon contains the same amount of active ingredients as 36 mushroom powder capsules . It's extremely potent! We recommend starting with half a teaspoon.
The liquid extracts are particularly well-suited for people with food intolerances or allergies, or who wish to use medicinal mushrooms for acute problems or therapeutic purposes. Their high concentration of active ingredients, bioavailability, and broad spectrum of active substances make them ideal for this purpose.
Choose from PURE FOCUS, with Cordyceps and Hericium for more energy, concentration and performance; PURE IMMUNE, with Chaga and almond mushroom to improve the immune system, gastrointestinal tract and digestion; PURE BALANCE with Reishi and Maitake for inner balance, hormonal balance and improvement; and PURE NIGHT with Reishi and Hericium to improve sleep.
Another advantage is that, due to their size, they can also be taken on flights in hand luggage and checked baggage. So you don't have to go without these "little saints" on any trip. Are you looking for THE ultimate, most effective way to use medicinal mushrooms? Then our liquid extracts are exactly the right choice for you!
Combination options
All products can be combined! Theoretically, you can integrate all products from all pillars into your daily routine simultaneously. However, you can also use them selectively. The following graphics show you how to integrate and combine the products throughout the day. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
Summary
We hope we have now given you a detailed overview that will help you with your decision. In simpler terms:
These drink powders are delicious all-in-one combinations of active ingredients including mushrooms, adaptogens, and functional flavor carriers for a healthy and preventative lifestyle. They are mixed with water or milk.
Our liquid extracts are the "professional" products in the medicinal mushroom sector. They consist of "only" two selected medicinal mushrooms each, but are highly concentrated, bioavailable, and exceptionally versatile. They are also suitable for therapeutic purposes, for example.
Dual extraction minimizes the disadvantages. Only the enzymes and insoluble substances like chitin are lost. However, this is not a real disadvantage for the efficacy . The additional processing steps do, however, significantly increase the price.
Should you still have specific questions, please feel free to contact us and we will assist you as quickly as possible. Ultimately, it's always a matter of individual preference how you choose to take medicinal mushrooms and what your goals are. With our innovative products, we want to help you integrate medicinal mushrooms into your daily life in a positive and sustainable way. As with all adaptogens, the best results are achieved with continuous use.
