Adaptogens are herbs, plants, and mushrooms that support the body's stress response. Studies indicate that adaptogens act on a cellular level, regulating stress hormones to help achieve balance in the body. They promote resilience and revitalization, enhancing overall well-being and combating stress and fatigue. Adaptogens work gradually and consistently over extended periods.

Mushrooms are a functional food that can be incorporated into your daily diet. We recommend consuming 2-4ml (equivalent to 1 half full dropper) regularly to observe desired effects. You can always adjust the dosage based on your personal needs.

Mushrooms contain chitin in their cell walls, which humans cannot break down. To access the beneficial compounds, an extraction process is necessary. Fruiting Bodies mushroom extracts are made using a dual-extraction method using organic GMO-free cane alcohol and purified water. This process extracts water-soluble compounds like beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble compounds like triterpenoids, along with many others.

Yes! All of our tincture bottles are recyclable.

We also invite you to re-use our bottles! Once you finish your medicine, clean it by removing the top lid and pulling off the glass pipette. Place only the bottle and glass pipette in hot water.

Use it to store other homemade remedies, cocktails or flowers!

We recommend taking our mushroom tinctures in the morning alongside your daily cup of coffee, tea, water or smoothie. That way you can harness the power of your remedy all day.

However, some may prefer taking their dose in the evening to receive the calming effects of mushrooms like Reishi. You may also try taking an energizing tincture, like Cordyceps, before taking a hike, practicing yoga or performing any exercise.

It’s best to let your beverage cool down to drinkable temperature before adding your tincture. Boiling water temperature can destroy the active compounds.

If you're incorporating your tincture into an acidic liquid like salad vinaigrette, we see no concerns whatsoever.

All our mushrooms are organically grown or wildcrafted. Our dual-extract tinctures are made with certified organic, non-GMO, food grade cane alcohol.

We are working on getting USDA Organic certification.

Yes

All our mushrooms are cultivated in-house or come directly from the US growers and are not processed in the same facilities as other grains, therefore, they shouldn't have any gluten contamination. Although we have not obtained gluten-free certification yet, we have not received any complaints from Fruiting Bodies users with gluten allergies.

We use organic, GMO-free, vegan cane alcohol and purified water in the dual-extraction of the mushroom compounds. The alcohol is important in order to extract alcohol soluble compounds such as triterpenoids that are not extracted through water alone. We use 190 proof cane alcohol because it allows for the deepest extraction without benzene present.

At present, there is insufficient research to determine the safety of consuming mushroom extracts for pregnant or breastfeeding people. We strongly advise consulting your healthcare practitioner or doctor for guidance. It's worth noting that our tinctures contain 30% alcohol, which should be taken into consideration. However, it is important to acknowledge that we are not authorized to offer medical advice, and we strongly recommend contacting your healthcare practitioner for accurate information in this regard.

We cannot legally provide you with medical advice and recommend you reach out to your healthcare practitioner. Take caution when using any mushroom products if you are on blood thinning medication.

We are not legally able to provide you with medical advice and our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or illness.

Each mushroom is extracted in different

There’s approximately 3-5g of dried mushrooms extracted into every 1ml of tincture.

We recommend taking 4-8ml of our tinctures daily–based on the functional doses studied in clinical trials.

Yes, if you're sensitive to yeast-like fungi, you should be able to consume our functional mushroom products without any issues. These mushrooms are genetically different from yeasts and molds. In fact, the immune-supporting properties of functional mushrooms can provide benefit. We advise seeking advice from a healthcare professional regarding your specific situation and discontinuing the use of Fruiting Bodies if any issues or discomfort arise.

No! None of these mushrooms have hallucinogenic properties. The functional mushrooms we are working with have a rich history of being used to treat health conditions in traditional Chinese medicine. The benefits of these mushrooms continue to be substantiated by modern scientific research.

Our products are intended for adult use. At present, there is insufficient research to confidently determine the safety of mushroom extracts for children. We suggest you consult with your health care provider.

Yes! Each new batch of Fruiting Bodies tinctures and concentrates are sent to a third-party laboratory to test for the presence of heavy metals, mycotoxins and microbial contamination to ensure the safety and quality of our products. All products are required to pass with flying colors before making it into your hands!

All of our tinctures have a shelf life of two years.

Synergy is a blend of seven different functional mushrooms, each providing unique health benefits. When mushrooms are combined together we believe they act synergistically with each other to further enhance the beneficial effects. This multi-mushroom blend contains smaller doses of each mushroom than is found in our single mushroom tinctures.

Yes, we believe that mushrooms work better together!

Start with one tincture at a time with the recommended dosage to determine its effects on your body. Then, make tincture combinations based on your needs, for example:

Performance Bundle = Lion's Mane & Synergy

Adaptogen Bundle = Reishi + Cordyceps

Immunity Bundle = Turkey Tail + Chaga

We recommend taking 4-8ml of each tincture daily. Rotate them into your daily routine based on your health needs and goals.

There are no known counteractions between our mushrooms products and other supplements. Like any supplement, individual responses to mushrooms can and do vary. We always recommend any concerned individual reach out to their health care provider.

To measure 1ml, we recommend squeezing the top a few times before removing from the bottle. Your pipette should fill up to halfway. 1 half pipette = 1 ml!

To address the issue, we suggest pumping the black tip/bulb a few times to ensure the liquid reaches the halfway mark (1ml). If this doesn't resolve the problem, you can try disassembling the device, cleaning the parts, and reassembling it. Here's how:

Pull the glass pipette out of the tip by wiggling it gently.

Squeeze and push the black tip downward through the opening in the black lid. Apply some force and wiggle it carefully (rest assured, it won't break).

Rinse all the pieces thoroughly. If there's any mushroom material stuck in the glass pipette, try removing it by flushing it with water.

Once you've rinsed the pieces and allowed them to dry, reassemble the device by pulling the tip through the bottom of the black lid until you feel a small click. It shouldn't require excessive force.

With the tip securely in place, push the pipette into the tip until you feel a similar click.

If the pipette still doesn't function properly after these steps, please reach out to us at hello@fruitingbodies.co, and we'll gladly provide you with a replacement.

Our Chaga comes from northern Maine. Sustainably harvested by wild-crafters who use responsible practices, ensuring to only remove chunks of the fungus so that it will
continue to propagate and won’t harm the tree it grows on.

Our mushrooms are organically cultivated and grown in the US. The cultures are grown on oat grains, then propagated on a growing substrate. That substrate contains saw dust and spent organic coffee grounds, as these grounds contain carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, copper, zinc, gold and other trace minerals and nutritive
elements. Our mushrooms are all grown and harvested at the fruiting body stage.

There may be some residue or suspended mushroom material in your tincture which is leftover from our extraction process that we choose to not filter out. This mushroom material contains fiber and dense minerals that benefit the body. Shake your tincture bottle before each use to evenly distribute the mushroom components!
