Frequently Asked Questions

Mushrooms are filled with compounds that are incredibly unique and beneficial to our health. They have been used for centuries as supplements all over the world, and continue to show up in modern functional foods. You can read more about these functional mushrooms here. Also check out our podcast and youtube channel for a deep dive!

Mushroom supplements consist of one or more of the following: mycelium on grain, pure mycelium, or mushroom fruiting bodies. Studies show the stark differences in compounds present in mycelium versus mushrooms— showing that mushrooms are much higher in potency than mycelium or mycelium on grain. That is why at Mushroom Revival, we stick to only using the actual mushroom fruiting body. Mycelium-only end products often contain grain powder or starch, which creates watered down and less potent product.

Other keywords to look for that indicate the supplement contains mycelium or mycelium on grain: mycelial biomass, mushroom mycelia, myceliated rice, presence of oats/rice or other grains.

Redefining Functional Mushrooms

Beta-Glucan Test in Mushroom Supplement Industry

When we say 100% fruiting bodies, we mean just that! Mushroom supplements usually consist of mycelium on grain, mushrooms, or a combination of the two. At Mushroom Revival, we stick to only using mushrooms, the fruiting body.

Refer to the question above for the differences between mycelium and mushrooms.

Yes — each of our mushrooms are dual-extracted with alcohol and hot water to achieve the highest potency. The overall alcohol amount that you consume is very minimal (about the same amount as you would get from a glass of orange juice) due to the small suggested serving size. 

For some products like our gummies, powders and capsules we evaporate off the water and alcohol so you're just left with a concentrated liquid free (and there for alcohol free) version of the mushroom extract.

A double extraction means that the mushroom or herb has been extracted in two different, and usually equally important ways. Most mushrooms and herbs undergo a dual extraction of water, known as decoction, and alcohol, known as tincture. There are other solvents such as oil, glycerin, and vinegar. It’s important to select the appropriate solvents to get the most out of your herbal extraction, and each herb varies in its ideal methods and ratios.

For mushrooms, the beneficial compounds are primarily alcohol-soluble (triterpenes and other similar compounds) and water-soluble (1,3 1,6 beta-glucans). So in order to get full spectrum benefits, it is necessary to do both. At Mushroom Revival, we go the extra mile to extract our mushrooms with alcohol and water, and then carefully combine the two to create a perfect balance and super potent product. Our mushrooms and herbs are also fine tuned to follow the science and extract them at the optimal alcohol percentages, temperatures, and durations. For some products like our gummies, powders and capsules we evaporate off the water and alcohol so you're just left with a concentrated liquid free version of the mushroom extract.

Functional mushrooms are generally regarded as safe, however if you have reason to be concerned over consuming functional mushroom products, please contact your health practitioner prior to taking supplements.

Common contraindications include blood thinners and insulin medications. If you are taking any medications, having surgery, dealing with other medical conditions, or pregnant, contact your doctor before incorporating our products into your regimen.

While there is no defined ‘dose’ of our products, for tinctures we suggest 2 dropperfuls (that’s one squeeze of the dropper) each day. For capsules, 2 capsules per day or for Powders, one scoop per day, for gummies, two gummies per day. You may choose to take more or less, or as needed! These supplements are a matter of personal preference on what you need at that given time.

The short answer is any day, any time! When to take these supplements is a matter of personal preference. But some of our formulas and mushrooms are better suited for particular times. For example, our ENERGY blend is a great compliment to your morning to start the day, while our CALM blend is made to support the body during a time when you just need to chill out, whether that be before bed or to support the mid-day stressors. FOCUS is great anytime— in the morning or before bed. FOCUS contains lion’s mane, which is a nourishing mushroom that supports cognition from the most heady activities to the most meditative activities. As for DAILY 10, think of this companion as your multivitamin. It’s there for you whenever you feel called.

Here at HQ, we take our supplements all day everyday. And you may certainly combine them! Whatever makes sense for your desired state. This is almost entirely a matter of personal preference. Combining supplements can be creative and personalized so don’t hesitate to experiment!

We have a web of partner mushroom farms all around the globe who are the best expert mushroom farmers we could find. Our Chaga are wild crafted, but the rest of the mushrooms are grown on hardwood with the exception of our cordyceps which are grown on rice (then only the fruiting bodies are harvested so no rice is in the final product). When the mushrooms are picked, none of the substrate the mushrooms are growing on are included in the final product to prevent the final product from being watered down or contaminated. ALL of our mushrooms are grown organically and are USDA Certified Organic! We are gluten free, vegan, non-gmo, kosher, NSF certified cGMP compliant and so much more. The mushrooms are lab tested at least 5 times throughout the whole process to ensure every step of the way you're getting the highest quality mushrooms in the world.

Yes! Every batch we use goes through lab testing to show heavy metals, biological contamination, concentration of main functional compounds such as beta-glucan, alpha-glucan, ganoderic acid, cordycepin, and adenosine to name a few. We want to see the science when it comes to making claims about potency in our supplements, so we make sure to get definitive numbers. Our tests have shown to be some of the most potent on the market! Scan the barcode on your package to see for yourself!

Mushrooms are generally regarded as safe and are often shared with our animal friends— although due to the alcohol content of our particular product, be mindful of the size of your furry friend and reduce the serving accordingly. And as always, we recommend consulting your veterinarian for more information.

Taking our tinctures by dropping it under the tongue will give maximum potential to be absorbed into the bloodstream, but whatever way is comfortable for you will be effective. You can put tinctures onto the top of your tongue, capsules as part of your morning or evening supplement routines, tinctures and powders in your favorite drinks, incorporated into smoothies, coffee, or even cooking! Gummies can be eaten when ever you need a little healthy treat. Feel free to get creative — just so long as it goes down the hatch!

Excellent question! We encourage you to read about each of our blends to see if it matches your needs. When in doubt, our DAILY 10 is a good choice to get the benefits of all 10 mushrooms.

You can always reference the date on the bottle or carton for the factory expiration date.
