Hi @GG84! Most of our products don’t contain any sugar. The few exceptions are the (1g of sugar), (1g of sugar), and (2g of sugar). And even in these cases the sugar comes from coconut palm, which has an incredibly low glycemic index of 35. Plus it tastes yummy 🙂

Hi! @patty11! All top mushrooms (chaga, reishi etc) are good for the gut and there’s research to indicate that they contain Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulating properties. The former is also true for some adaptogens, like Rhodiola. So I would experiment with chaga in the morning and reishi in the evening. You should still chat with your doctor or physician to learn if something else is imbalanced.

Hey @fashionyflowers! It is true! There are tons of research papers to show their potential for this. In order for something to be a true adaptogen, they must defend the body against a variety of stressors including physical, chemical, and biological factors and help maintain a state of homeostasis or overall balance. I would start with reishi, shiitake, tulsi, and ashwagandha.

I'd love to know how to got into Adoptogens in general! Are adoptogens/your ingestibles at all related to eastern medicine? Some of the herbs smell similar to me!

Also, do you have any particular recommendations for stomach bloat? 🙂

Hi @asdfghjkl! This is partly individual, even though they all are hypo-allergenic. Usually the most tummy friendly adaptogens include things like chaga, reishi, tulsi, shiitake, and turkey tail. For example, try

What’s the adaptogen elevator pitch? Why is the conversation around mushrooms going mainstream now? How did you get into it?
