The basics
What is a functional mushroom?
It's a mushroom people take for a reason beyond eating it. Shiitake and maitake are the two you'd recognize from a grocery store. Reishi, cordyceps, lion's mane, and chaga are less familiar in the US, but people have been taking all of them for a very long time.
Which one should I get?
Energy is for the part of the day when you want to be alert. Relax is for the evening, when you want to wind down. Everyday is the one you take all the time, for immune support.
If you're not sure, Everyday is the easiest place to start, because it doesn't depend on timing.
Will I feel anything?
It depends which one. Energy and Relax are built around a difference you can notice, though it's a gentle one. Everyday works more like a multivitamin, so most people won't feel it arrive.
None of these hit like caffeine. If that's what you're after, these aren't it.
How long before I know if it's working?
Take one a day for a couple of weeks before you decide. Botanicals build up in your system, so the first few days don't tell you much.
Can I take more than one of these?
Plenty of people take Everyday in the morning and Relax at night. If you want to run all three, talk to your doctor first, the same as you would with any supplement stack.
Who should skip these?
Anyone under 18, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing. If you take prescription medication or you're managing a medical condition, talk to your doctor before starting. If you have a mushroom allergy, skip all three.

What is each mushroom for?
Cordyceps has been studied for energy and stamina. Reishi has been studied for calm and sleep quality. Lion's mane has been shown to help with memory, attention, and processing speed. Shiitake and maitake have both been shown to help with immunity when taken daily over several weeks. Chaga has been studied for its antioxidant effects.
Is there caffeine in any of them?
No. None of the three has caffeine in it, including Energy.
How much sugar is in a gummy?
Two grams, and ten calories. Most mushroom gummies run three to four grams each.
Is there gelatin in them?
No. They're set with citrus pectin, which comes from citrus peel, so there's no gelatin in any of the three.
Where are they made?
Manufactured in the USA. All three are non-GMO and gluten free.
Taking them
One gummy or two?
The label says one to two a day. Start with one. Thirty gummies is thirty days at one a day.
When should I take Energy?
Ginkgo and DMAE are both mildly activating, so take it when you want to be awake and alert, and leave a few hours before you plan to sleep.
When should I take Relax?
In the evening, whenever you start winding down. There's no melatonin in it, so it isn't built to put you out.
When should I take Everyday?
Any time. Nothing in it is activating or sedating, so the hour doesn't matter. Pick one you'll remember.
What if I miss a day?
Take one the next day and carry on. There's nothing to make up.
Do I take these with food?
It doesn't matter. Take them with or without.
Orders and shipping
How much is shipping?
Free, on every order, with no minimum. There's no faster tier to upgrade to and nothing gets added at checkout.
How long will it take to get here?
We hand orders to the carrier within one to three business days. From there it's usually three to five business days with USPS Ground Advantage, so most orders land within about a week.
Where do you ship?
The United States only for now, including PO boxes and APO/FPO addresses.
How do I track my order?
You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as it ships. If it's been more than three business days and nothing has come through, message us and we'll look.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Message us right away and we'll fix it if it hasn't shipped. Once it's with the carrier we can't pull it back, but the guarantee still covers you.
My tracking says delivered and it isn't here.
Give it 48 hours. Carriers sometimes scan a package as delivered before it actually lands. If it still hasn't turned up, message us and we'll replace it.
Returns
What if it isn't for me?
Take it daily for a couple of weeks and see what you think. If it isn't for you, message us within thirty days and we'll swap it for a different one or refund what you paid, whichever you'd rather.
There's nothing to send back. The guarantee covers your first order, whatever is in it.
What if my order arrives damaged or wrong?
That's our mistake, not a guarantee claim. Send us a photo and we'll replace it. The thirty-day window doesn't apply.
