Only the very best mushroom extracts you can find on the market is all. First off, we use only the fruiting bodies, the thing most of us call “‘mushrooms”. It’s sad but many companies use a combination of mycelium - the root system - and grain or ‘myciliated grain’ in their products because it’s cheaper to produce. Myciliated grain’ is considered filler. It’s not high quality because concentrations of beta-glucans and other adaptogenic compounds are typically quite low and not always bioavailable. Bottom line, fillers are not great, so you won’t find them in our products. Period. And our mushroom powder is not just any old powder. It’s an extracted powder which means that water (and sometimes alcohol) is used to extract as much of the beneficial compounds in mushrooms as possible. Through extraction we’re able to offer both the highest concentrations and bioavailability that you can find anywhere.

When we can, we support local suppliers and vendors but when it comes to mushrooms there’s not a lot of choice. Like zero. So our supply partners go to places that have a long tradition of mushrooms in their culture. Places like China. Within China that would be from protected areas that are not easily accessible to commercial development and airborne contaminants. Within protected areas that would be in greenhouses designed to emulate a nurturing and completely natural environment for cultivation or wild harvested from fallen trees. 

The short answer is that they regulate the amount of cortisol - the fight or flight hormone - your adrenal glands produce. Both when you’re feeling stressed and there’s an overabundance of cortisol being pumped into your system but also when you’re just plain worn out and depleted from chronic stress and there’s not enough cortisol circulating in your body. Importantly, this ‘bi-directional’ characteristic is what helps return the body and mind to homeostasis. Back to balance. But that’s not all! Studies have shown that one of the other significant benefits that come from daily use of these functional foods includes a more resilient immune system. The compounds most responsible for creating what we like to call a Stress Resilience Field (SRF) are beta-glucans. We could stop there but we just have to say that if you’re not sleeping well, you have gut issues, you’re not as alert and focused as you once were or just want more sustained energy, then you should give F-Stress a try. (Yes, that was a shameless plug:) 

All of our mushroom products are tested by qualified 3rd party labs for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals including pesticides, fungal purity, bacteria, and the amount of active beneficial compounds like beta glucans and triterpenoids.

1 gram per day of our mushroom extracts will help you stay the course to wellbeing by fortifying your immune system, providing more balance and by regulating stress in a simple and direct way. We try to make it a little easier with F-Stress so you might think our recommendation would be to eat and drink as much as you want! Well, we don’t recommend doing that because we don’t want anyone overdoing it. You know what they say about too much of a good thing. 

What we’d say about that is to always consult your physician or health care provider whenever you’re consuming any kind of supplement including F-Stress products. And no surprise. We encourage you to always be listening to your body.

That really depends on the choices you make when it comes to getting better. We think most people are of two minds when it comes to wellness. We want to do the right thing but that’s not always easy to do. We give in to a moment of weakness and eat the whole bag of chips. We skip out on getting some exercise because “we don’t have the time”. We work well past our productive limits because “I'm a team player”. Meditation? “I’ll get back to it when my life gets less hectic.” Familiar right? Yeah. We know. And we care because we’re a lot like you. That’s why F-Stressers of the world, we salute you! We celebrate the raging conflict within - to Fix it or F*k it.
