Powerful Ingredients:
Chaga
The main ingredient in our Chaga elixir is, of course, pure wild-crafted Chaga mushroom! 1500 mg of the most potent Chaga extract with at least 30% polysaccharides (15%+ beta-glucans) and 2% triterpenes. No starch, sugars or any fillers at all. To make sure that you are able to get the most out of this inedible, woody mushroom we dual extracted it for you. This means that all of the active water- and fat-soluble components have been made bioavailable with boiling water and alcohol, respectively. After removing the alcohol and concentrating the extract we spray-dry it back to powder. We, of course, consider the environment in everything we do. When the chaga pieces are collected from the birch trees, only the outer sclerotium is removed while the mushroom itself is left to reproduce on the tree.
Eleuthero
Eleuthero, also known as siberian ginseng, works synergistically with chaga to enhance immunity and support vitality. Each packet contains 750 mg of naturally grown and concentrated eleuthero root extract that is one of the most revered herbal adaptogens - the soviet cosmonauts even took this one to the space!
Rose hips
Those beautiful, deep red vitamin C bombs - rose hips - have always been close to our hearts. As kids we used to take the “itching powder” from the inside of the fruits, later on we started eating them as energizing road side snacks, and now we wanted to include them with our mushrooms to increase the absorption. Each packet has 15 mg of natural vitamin C from the rose hip extract (25% RDI), which makes it easier for your body to intake the mushrooms.
Field Mint
Delicious mint leaf is in the combo for a nice touch to the taste and for its soothing effects on the stomach.
Floods your body with energy and speeds up recovery
Supports adrenal glands and helps to produce and maintain constant energy levels. Increases oxygen intake and speeds up recovery
Go an extra mile - naturally
Cordyceps is an adaptogen, not a stimulant, so it helps you produce and maintain constant energy levels. Coffee, for example, can give you an energy spike, followed by a crash; cordyceps, on the other hand, helps your body produce its own long-lasting energy. A compound in cordyceps called cordycepin is an adenosine analogue that increases the rate at which ADP (adenosine diphosphate) transforms into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This matters because ATPs are tiny "molecular batteries" our bodies use to store and transport energy; more ATPs means more energy … and cordyceps has been shown to increase ATP levels by up to 50 percent! Cordyceps is also able to increase your maximum oxygen intake (VO2 max). This is also why many asthma patients and people who have quit smoking have gotten really good results with it. Increased breathing capacity helps with all the daily tasks as well. Cordyceps is believed to be the remedy for fatigue, which is why it has also been used to recover from severe illness or surgery. Thus, it is the perfect nutrition for people whose energy levels have been down for a long period of time. Athletes also see great results in recovering from hard workouts.
How and when to use:
Add one packet to 8fl oz of hot water or blend in to your favorite smoothie
While doing sports - prevents fatigue and speeds recovery
To replace a cup of coffee for a healthy energizeing effect - no jitters
1 packet per day

Powerful Ingredients:
Cordyceps
The main ingredient in our Cordyceps elixir is, of course, pure cordyceps mushroom! 1500 mg of the most potent cordyceps CS-4 extract with at least 40% polysaccharides (15%+ beta-glucans) and 15% cordycepic acid. No starch, sugars or any fillers at all. To make sure that you are able to get the most out of the mushroom we dual extracted it for you. This means that all of the active water- and fat-soluble components have been made bioavailable with boiling water and alcohol, respectively. After removing the alcohol and concentrating the extract we spray-dry it back to powder. We use the cultivated Cs-4 strain of cordyceps which is the form that most of the studies have been made with. The mycelium is cultivated by liquid fermentation in an optimal nutrient solution that contains amino acids and sugars for it to feed on. We don’t use caterpillars in our production methods and our product is suitable for vegans. There are no grains in our process either.
Panax Ginseng
Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) is one of the most well known and valued herbs used by mankind. It is a potent energy tonic and an adaptogen which also supports respiratory functions and it works like a charm together with cordyceps to get you going! There is 200mg of strong ginseng extract in each packet, made from a combination of both roots and aerial parts of the plant.
Licorice root
Harmonizing and naturally sweet licorice brings an unique touch to the cordyceps mushroom. Licorice is used in more formulations than any other herb in Chinese herbalism because of its ability to enhance and smooth out the effects of other herbs and mushrooms. There is 200 mg of licorice root extract in each packet (contains only less than 0.9 mg of glycyrrhizin acid).
Field Mint
Delicious mint leaf is in the combo for a nice touch to the taste and for its soothing effects on the stomach.
Rose hips
Those beautiful, deep red vitamin C bombs - rose hips - have always been close to our hearts. As kids we used to take the “itching powder” from the inside of the fruits, later on we started eating them as energizing road side snacks, and now we wanted to include them with our mushrooms to increase the absorption. Each packet has 30 mg of natural vitamin C from the rose hip extract (50% RDI), which makes it easier for your body to intake the mushrooms.
Biohacking the brain
Lion’s Mane is an all natural brain booster, a nootropic, with no side effects.
It has been shown to improve memory, boost creativity and help with concentration. The Nerve Growth Factors (NGF) are essential in neural health and they are responsible for these effects and improvements. The active ingredients in Lion’s Mane, hericenones and erinacines, are shown to stimulate the NGF production in the body. These two families of cyathane derivatives are small enough to pass through the blood-brain barrier and they can also increase myelination which ensures clear transmission of information across synapses. Lion’s Mane’s properties extend to the entire nervous system. Many studies have been conducted to discover its anti-dementia effects. It can be of great help for people suffering from Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease and other neurological damages and in improving reflexes.
How and when to use:
Add one packet to 8fl oz of hot water or blend in to your favorite smoothie
At work when the “brain fog” hits - get your focus back
When studying, reading or writing - for a concentration boost
1 packet per day

Powerful Ingredients:
Lion’s mane
The main ingredient in our Lion’s mane elixir is, of course, pure wood-grown lion’s mane mushroom! 1500 mg of the most potent lion’s mane extract with at least 30% polysaccharides (15%+ beta-glucans). No starch, sugars or any fillers at all. To make sure that you are able to get the most out of this hard-to-digest mushroom we dual extracted it for you. This means that all of the active water- and fat-soluble components have been made bioavailable with boiling water and alcohol, respectively. After removing the alcohol and concentrating the extract we spray-dry it back to powder. We only use the fruiting bodies of lion’s mane that are grown on real wood exactly as it would like to do in the wild. This ensures the proper nutrition for the mushrooms to become as effective as they can be. We don’t use the mycelium (“roots” of the mushroom), but allow it to concentrate all its power into an actual mushrooms before taking them through our state-of-the-art dual extraction process.
Star anise
Star anise is a traditional and well-known spice and healing herb, which we find to be blending well flavour-wise with the other ingredients in this mix. It also has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. We only use the safe species Illicium verum and not the toxic Japanese star anise.
Field Mint
Delicious mint leaf is in the combo for a nice touch to the taste and for its soothing effects on the stomach.
Stevia
We add a pinch of stevia leaf extract for calorie-free sweetness to round out the extreme bitterness of the reishi. The amount is less than 1% as our stevia is high-quality concentrated extract without any metallic aftertaste.

Our coffee is not yet certified organic, but we have tested it to ensure it contains absolutely zero pesticides. We also constantly run third-party lab testing to ensure minimal levels of mycotoxins.
