Why We Don't Use Alcohol in Our Mushroom Extracts
Most mushroom supplements use alcohol to extract beneficial compounds. We took a different path—and discovered something better.
The Problem with Alcohol-Based Extracts
When companies use alcohol to make mushroom extracts, several problems occur:
- Leftover chemicals remain in your supplement
- Heat damage destroys delicate nutrients
- Daily alcohol exposure contradicts health goals
- Reduced potency from harsh processing
Think about it: if you're taking Lion's Mane to support brain health, why would you want alcohol (which damages brain cells) in the same product?

Our Water-Based Solution
We developed a gentle, alcohol-free extraction process that:
Preserves More Nutrients Our method keeps delicate compounds intact that alcohol typically destroys—like the sleep-supporting compounds in Reishi and focus-enhancing compounds in Lion's Mane.
Works Faster Our extracts absorb faster than traditional powders or capsules, so you feel the benefits sooner.
Stays Clean Zero alcohol, zero chemical residues. Just pure mushroom goodness.

What Makes This Different
Better Sleep Support (Reishi)
Traditional alcohol extraction destroys the natural sleep compounds in Reishi. Our gentle process preserves them, giving you more effective rest support.
Sharper Focus (Lion's Mane)
Lion's Mane promotes brain health, but alcohol damages brain cells. Our alcohol-free extraction eliminates this contradiction entirely.

Superior Absorption
We preserve tiny beneficial structures (called nanofibers) that act like delivery systems, helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively.
The Bottom Line
Traditional extracts: 30-40% alcohol + reduced nutrients + chemical residues
Our extracts: 100% beneficial compounds + no alcohol + faster absorption
