How to Take Medicinal Mushrooms Daily: Easy Recipes & Tips

Our Medicinal Mushroom Bursts – 10 Mushroom Extract and Chaga Extract – are some of the most potent and effective plants on the planet. 

Here are the ways Medicinal Mushrooms have been shown to help:

• Improve sleep
• Anti-ageing for the skin
• Fight fatigue
• Beat anxiety and boost mood
• Brain power, focus and memory
• Stimulate hair growth
• Soothe digestion
• Support liver detoxification
• Reduce stress and its negative effects

Our extracts come in powder and capsule form (completely pure with zero additives). The powder gets to work a little faster than the capsules, so it’s great for an instant anxiety or stress fix! You may prefer the powder if you enjoy making soothing, grounding drinks or are regularly preparing healthy snacks and smoothies.

Capsules are a good choice when you’re short on time, on the go, at work, the gym or travelling.

When your pouches arrive in your kitchen, we want to make sure you can consistently take them in the most convenient, yummy and clever ways to get results that will literally change your life!

How to give kids Medicinal Mushrooms 

Our Mushroom Bursts are incredibly popular for benefitting children too. Some of the recipes above, especially the Anxiety-Relieving Mushroom Cacao, Mushroom Bliss Bites and Energizing Breakfast Smoothie are super-popular with our littler Bursters – you simply need to reduce the serving size. Here are our guidelines:  

• For children below 3 years old, we would recommend consulting your health practitioner before introducing Medicinal Mushrooms.
• Children age 3-10 can have half the adult serving size.
• We would not recommend our Bursts for babies under 12 months old.

Superfood combos for bigger benefits 

All our Bursts work in synergy together, so if you’re already taking some of our other Superfoods, or want to boost the core benefits of the Medicinal Mushrooms, here are some pointers: 

Immune Support – Spirulina, Turmeric, Ginger and Baobab will flood the body with important nutrients for the immune system, powerful antioxidants, and have all been found in studies to fight illness.

Mood – Turmeric and Cacao are our other star players for beating low mood and feelings of helplessness. 

Stress and fatigue – Maca can lower the stress hormone cortisol and boost energy levels, to power you through tough times. You could optimize the adaptogenic benefits further with Turmeric and Chaga – perfect to help you cope with stress. All of these are combined in our Adaptogen Bundle (available at 10% off!).

Digestion – Wheatgrass is a perfect complement to Medicinal Mushrooms in the gut as it provides precious fiber that helps with easy bowel movements. 

Blood sugar balance & weight loss - Cinnamon and Spirulina also help lower insulin, balance your energy and avoid cravings.

Detoxification – The effective liver-supporting antioxidants in Medicinal Mushrooms are complemented by Chlorella, the amazing algae that draws toxins out of the body via the bowel.
