What You Need to Know Before You Buy
You’ve heard about the benefits of mushroom tinctures, improved focus, better energy, immune support, but you may still wonder: Are mushroom tinctures safe?
The short answer: Yes when made and used properly. But like any supplement, there are things you should understand before choosing a product or adding it to your daily routine.
Let’s walk through the facts, safety tips, and common-sense guidelines to help you feel confident.
Understanding the Safety of Mushroom Tinctures
Mushroom tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts made from functional or medicinal mushrooms. They’re generally well tolerated, especially when dual-extracted and made from fruiting bodies (like ours).
Here’s what makes them safe:
Mushrooms used are non-psychoactive and non-toxic
Doses are small and taken as a tincture, not a meal-sized portion
Tinctures are extracted using certified organic sugarcane alcohol, not harmful solvents
Dual extraction ensures bioavailability and removes inactive or irritating compounds
When to Ask: Are Mushroom Tinctures Safe for You?
While mushroom tinctures are safe for most people, there are certain situations where it’s worth checking in with a healthcare provider before using them.
Be cautious if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an autoimmune disorder (especially when using immune-stimulating mushrooms like Turkey Tail or Reishi)
Take blood pressure or blood thinning medication (Cordyceps and Reishi may interact)
Have known allergies to mushrooms or fermented products
At Boxed-In Mushroom Company, we only use fruiting bodies and organic sugarcane alcohol, no grain-based allergens, no fillers.
