Every bottle is made from whole mushroom raw material using our biocatalyst-assisted, triple-stage extraction, and every batch is tested by a NATA-accredited laboratory.

- Ships free within Australia
- Made in Redbank Plains, Queensland
What does it taste like?
Earthy and slightly bitter, with a gentle warmth from the alcohol. Reishi is the most bitter of the five. Most people take it in water, tea, coffee or juice rather than straight.
Can I take more than one extract?
Yes. Many people pair them by time of day, for example Lion's Mane or Cordyceps in the morning and Reishi in the evening. Keep each to its suggested 2 mL serve, and check with your healthcare practitioner first if you take medication or are managing a health condition. Buying 2 or more together saves up to 30%: see our bundles.
How long until I notice anything?
Mushroom extracts work gradually rather than straight away. Take it daily at a similar time and give it at least a month before you judge it. The What to expect timeline on this page shows how it typically builds. Everyone responds differently.
How much alcohol is in it?
About 20-25% food-grade ethanol, which carries and preserves the extract. A 2 mL serve contains about 0.3 to 0.4 g of alcohol, roughly 3 to 4% of a standard drink. If you avoid alcohol, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare practitioner before use.
How do I store it after opening?
Keep the cap tight and store the bottle in the fridge after opening to help preserve freshness, away from direct sunlight. Shake well before each use.

Our biocatalyst-assisted, triple-stage extraction is designed to release more of what the whole raw material holds, with every batch verified against defined quality specifications.
Whole raw material
We start with the whole mushroom: the fruiting body, or the sclerotium for Chaga. Never mycelium grown on grain.
Break
Biocatalysts break down the tough fungal cell wall that heat alone leaves largely intact.
Capture
A triple-stage extraction captures both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds.
Verify
Every batch is tested by a NATA-accredited laboratory, with the current Certificate of Analysis published.
