Express post usually arrives in 1-3 days depending on the state you’re in, however is usually always on the faster end. Express is free if you spend only $139 or more. Alternatively, free standard postage can take 2-4 days depending on the time of year. We pack and process orders usually same or next day.

Our alcohol-free liquid extracts are easier to take than messy powders, with no mixing required. They allow for higher extraction ratios, meaning more concentrated extract in every 1ml serve. For added convenience, taste, and absorption support, simply take the liquid directly or hold it under your tongue for 10–15 seconds before swallowing, or mix into any drink or non-bake food.

30:1 dual extract means 30kg of whole mushroom is concentrated into 1kg of extract for a stronger, more potent final product. We use alcohol & water methods to draw out a wider range of beneficial compounds, then remove the alcohol afterwards. The result is a powerful liquid extract without the harsh taste of traditional alcohol tinctures or powders.

These mushrooms are not native to Australia, and need to be grown in labs to be Australian grown. Like the best brands, instead of artificial labs, we grow them semi-wild in their native environment. This results in a more potent, natural and ethical mushroom. We do this in collaboration with small family farms in the pristine mountains of China using traditional Di Dao practices, where they are native. We let them thrive in the native habitats they have grown in for thousands of years. In China, they have been utilising medicinal mushrooms for thousands of years, and are experts compared to western countries, who have only been practicing for less than a couple hundred years.

Richer in Nutrients: Growing in a natural, biodiverse environment ensures our mushrooms develop a full spectrum of active compounds compared to cheap lab grows.

Absolutely not! This is a common misconception and salesy marketing tactic used by most of the big brands.Our nutritionist covers this in detail in this easy to digest blog, but here's a quick break down. Beta-glucans are in all mushrooms as they're actual purpose is to strengthen fungal cell walls (the same way cellulose does in plants). Beta-glucans have been shown in studies to have potentially help the immune system, but they do not help in other areas such as neuro-function (like lion's mane does). For example, lion's mane has 2 main compounds that create new brain cells (hint, beta-glucans don't help at all), those are:erinacines & hericenones: studied to support brain health and may stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Yet for some reason, we see big brands use marketing tactics that say their lion's mane is standardized for 40% beta glucans. For people not in the know, that might sound great, big science words, cool. But in reality, that means their product has less erinacines & hericenones, and more of the useless beta-glucans. Standardizing is essentially synthetically raising the levels of one thing and as a biproduct, lowers the levels of the other things. Standardizing is often done by 'spiking' (adding beta-glucans from other sources such as yeast extracts, a common one), or genetic modification of the mushroom to produce more beta-glucans than other compounds. Either way, it's bad.

Mushroom Extracts vs. Whole Mushrooms

• Higher Potency: Extracts condense kilograms of mushrooms into a small, powerful dose, making them significantly stronger than plain freeze-dried mushrooms.
• Maximum Absorption: Whole mushrooms contain chitin, a tough cell wall that locks away nutrients (which is why we have to cook culinary mushrooms). Extracts break down this wall so your body can easily absorb all the benefits.
• The Truth About "Fillers": Don't be fooled by claims that ingredients like alcohol or glycerin are useless fillers. They are actually necessary solvents used to successfully extract and deliver those essential nutrients to your body.
