Functional Mushrooms
Functional mushrooms are among the oldest ingredients of Far Eastern traditions. Reishi, cordyceps and lion's mane have been used in China and Japan for thousands of years, and today they rank among the most sought-after supplements of all. The strength of tradition, here and now.
The range includes reishi, lion's mane, cordyceps including the wild one from Bhutan, chaga and multi-mushroom complexes, in capsules and powders. We bet on extracts with declared beta-glucan content and clean formulas free of unnecessary additives.

How to choose functional mushrooms
- Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) – the “mushroom of immortality” of traditional Chinese culture, a classic of evening rituals.

- Cordyceps – the traditional choice of athletes; wild Cordyceps sinensis from Bhutan is the rarest ingredient in the category.
- Chaga – the birch mushroom of northern forests, traditionally brewed as tea.
- Extract vs. powder – extracts with declared beta-glucan content offer higher concentration than plain dried mushroom.
