Let’s make it simple.

You’ve picked your tincture...great. Now what? Taking mushroom tinctures doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re new to them or just want to fine-tune your routine, this guide gives you practical tips to make every dose count.

1. When Should I Take My Mushroom Tincture?

Morning: Best for energy, focus, and immunity support. Take Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, or Cordyceps early in the day to feel the lift without disrupting sleep.
Evening: If you’re using Reishi for stress relief or sleep support, evening is ideal. It helps calm the nervous system and ease into rest.
Anytime: Shiitake can be taken anytime, it’s more about daily consistency than timing.

2. How Much Should I Take?

The typical serving size is 1-2 full droppers (1–2 mL), taken once or twice a day.

Our suggestion: Start with 1 dropper a day, then adjust based on your body’s response and your wellness goals.

3. How Do I Actually Take It?

Under the tongue (sublingually) for fastest absorption—hold for 30 seconds, then swallow.
In your drink if you prefer a smoother taste—add to water, tea, or smoothies.
Avoid heat: Hot drinks can degrade the alcohol extract, so let your tea cool a bit first.

4. Can I Take More Than One at a Time?

Yes, stacking is safe and often beneficial. You can combine:

Lion’s Mane + Cordyceps for focus and energy
Reishi + Turkey Tail for immune and stress supportJust space them out slightly if you want to monitor their effects more clearly.

5. Tips for Staying Consistent

Keep your tincture by your toothbrush or coffee maker, make it part of your morning ritual.
Set a daily reminder if you're just starting.
Track how you feel over time in a journal, it helps you notice subtle benefits.
