How to Take & Benefits

Your daily mushroom ritual

We recommend using the products depending on the situation: Focus in the morning, Immune and Balance during the day and Night in the evening. That way, you'll have your soothing ritual for every moment.

How to get started

Start with ½ serving and increase to full dose after a few days. Consistency is crucial. Adaptogenic effects unfold through daily use and build up.

👉 Tip: Make it a fixed daily ritual, so it remains simple and becomes part of your routine.

Natural benefits take time

The effect always depends on your body individually. We do not have "miracle pills", but natural substances of the highest quality, bioavailability and concentration.

First effects can already appear after a few days. We recommend a course intake of 1-3 months at the beginning. Adaptogens build up their effects in the body over time and adapt to your needs.

All products can be used permanently. Feel free to take a break after 3 months.

You can then also use the products selectively, e.g. in particularly stressful phases, in the allergy period, during sports top performance, etc.

What to keep in mind

Can be combined with all smaints products.
Is compatible with other dietary supplements
Suitable for children from 6 years in half dosage
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor/alternative practitioner before taking it. However, the GFVS (Society for Medicinal Mushroom Science Switzerland) makes a clear recommendation for functional mushrooms during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If you are taking medication, consult with your doctor or alternative practitioner.

👉 Tip: In times of increased need, you can also take more than the recommended daily dose. Functional mushrooms are adaptogenic and adapt to the needs of your body.

Product Analysis

At smaints, we place the utmost importance on transparency and quality. Medicinal mushrooms act like natural filters, absorbing everything from their environment. Therefore, special care is required. Raw materials such as cocoa or coffee can also contain contaminants.

That's why we have every batch rigorously tested: Independent laboratories check for heavy metals, PAHs and microbiological parameters.

Hi, we are smaints

We’re Christian & Max – and when we first discovered functional mushrooms, we were absolutely blown away!

Back then, we were completely overwhelmed... We were juggling university, work, and building our own business at the same time. It felt like our heads were about to explode.

It all started in 2017

We became increasingly interested in biohacking, and one podcast by Tim Ferriss (world-renowned author and biohacker) was about to change our lives forever:

From that moment on, there was only one thing on our minds:

The world of functional mushrooms

For over three years, we worked alongside leading experts and physicians to develop the concept behind smaints...

We don't believe in compromises. Only the highest-quality, 100% organic functional mushrooms from Europe would do.

In 2020, the time had finally come: smaints was born!

... our customers appreciate it very much.

We are particularly proud of over 28,000 customers and our growing team!

We help people to develop their full potential with functional mushrooms

We are smaints. And it starts with you.
