Our Tinctures
Tinctures vs Powders
By a process of extraction, mushroom tinctures deliver only the isolated, beneficial compounds that support human health which many powders do not.
Mushroom cells are protected by a durable, fibrous layer called Chitin.
Chitin is so durable that our stomachs have problems breaking it down.
Beneficial compounds found within this protective layer are therefore not absorbed properly by the body and pass through us. Therefore powders that have been elaborated using raw fruiting body, without extraction, have a far reduced effect on the human body.
Our process of dual liquid extraction removes this protective layer and filters out all but the most beneficial compounds.
The end result is a potent liquid medicine that our bodies can easily ingest, that has a perceptible and highly positive effect.

I have decided on this method having seen first hand its positive effects compared to powders I have made and some widely available products which I have purchased.
Whilst many powders claim to be elaborated by extraction, my personal experiences lead me to doubt that this is true with many products.
Also, I have previously purchased products which state "Made in the E.U" but looking closer also say "grown/origin in China/PRC" which naturally raises various concerns which shouldn't exist when buying organic products.
I believe that knowledge, love and respect are the only ways to produce an effective organic medicine.
Extraction Method
Our potent tincture is handmade in small batches using only the fruiting bodies of Lion's Mane mushroom grown in Spain.
This tincture combines an alcohol infusion with a water decoction to release the medicinal compounds from within the mushroom fruiting body.
Alcohol is used to extract terpenes and polyphenols, heated water is used to extract beta-glucans.
The double extraction process ensures that the maximum amount of beneficial compounds available are taken up by their respected liquid catalysts, drastically increasing their 'bio availability' or potential to effect us.
