FAQ
🧠 General FAQ
What are Functional Mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms are non-psychoactive fungi known for their health-supporting properties. Each species offers unique benefits:
- Lion’s Mane: Supports cognitive function and focus
- Reishi: Promotes relaxation and stress relief
- Cordyceps: Enhances energy and endurance
- Chaga: Provides immune support and antioxidant protection
Are your products safe for children?
Yes, Our tinctures and gummies are made with clean, food-grade ingredients and are alcohol-free. For children, we recommend starting with a half dose of tinctures. Gummies are a great kid-friendly option.
What does “Liposomal” mean?
Liposomal delivery uses microscopic fat bubbles (liposomes) to carry active compounds across the gut barrier for superior absorption. This helps your body actually use the mushroom compounds—rather than flushing them out.
What is Phosphatidylcholine, and why do you use it?
Phosphatidylcholine is a natural fat (phospholipid) that helps form and stabilize liposomes. It also supports healthy cell membranes, especially in the brain, for enhanced nutrient absorption and bioavailability.
Are your products Vegan and Gluten-Free?
Yes. All of our tinctures and gummies are 100% vegan, gluten-free, alcohol-free, and made without artificial flavors, dyes, or preservatives.
🚞 Product FAQ
What makes Fungitarian different from other mushroom brands?
We use only certified organic fruiting bodies—never mycelium on grain or powdered filler blends. Our tinctures are dual-extracted, liposomal, alcohol-free, and made in small batches with care by a real mushroom team. We grow and extract our mushrooms for peak potency and absorption.
Is there alcohol in your tinctures?
No. While we use organic ethanol during extraction to pull out fat-soluble compounds, we remove all alcohol using low-temperature vacuum distillation. The final formula is 100% alcohol-free.
Can I take Tinctures and Gummies together?
Yes! Many customers combine tinctures and gummies for maximum benefit. You can take Lion’s Mane drops with a Cordyceps gummy in the morning, or combine Chaga drops with a Reishi gummy at night.
Where should I store your products?
Store all products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration needed.
What’s the difference between Mushroom drops and Gummies?
Tinctures (drops) offer maximum potency and fast absorption with liposomal delivery—great for those prioritizing effectiveness. Gummies are a fun, delicious, kid-friendly option for people who prefer simplicity and convenience on the go.
