Unlock the Full Power of Functional Mushrooms: Why Dual Extract Tinctures Are the Gold Standard

When it comes to medicinal mushrooms, potency and purity matter — and not all tinctures are created equal. At Boxed-In Mushroom Company, we are committed to traditional dual extraction methods using only the highest-quality ingredients. Every bottle of our tincture is crafted with care, from the mushrooms we grow to the alcohol we choose for extraction.

Our promise is simple: no compromises. Just real mushroom medicine.

What Is a Dual Extract Tincture?

Dual extraction is a two-step method that uses both hot water and alcohol to draw out the complete spectrum of therapeutic compounds from medicinal mushrooms.

• Water extraction unlocks beta-glucans, the immune-supporting polysaccharides that help regulate inflammation and promote gut health.

• Alcohol extraction pulls out fat-soluble compounds such as triterpenoids and sterols, which offer antioxidant, adaptogenic, and neuroprotective benefits.

  
  

This process is the gold standard because it ensures that none of the mushroom’s beneficial properties are left behind.

Our Point of Difference: Certified Organic Cane Alcohol

Most mushroom tinctures on the market use food-grade ethanol derived from corn, wheat, or barley. These grains are often genetically modified, heavily sprayed with pesticides, and may contain allergens or unwanted residues.

At Boxed-In, we only use Certified Organic alcohol made from sugar cane. Here's why:

• It is naturally gluten-free and non-GMO

• It eliminates the risk of grain allergens

• It offers a cleaner, more neutral extraction base

• It supports better bioavailability of mushroom compounds

The alcohol in your tincture is not just a solvent — it’s the delivery system for the mushroom's active constituents. We believe it should be just as clean and purposeful as the mushrooms themselves.

Why We Don’t Offer Combination Tinctures

Unlike many brands offering “all-in-one” blends, we do not produce combination tinctures — and that’s intentional.

Each medicinal mushroom has a distinct set of properties. When multiple mushrooms are combined into a single tincture, their effects can counteract or dilute one another. For instance, the stimulating properties of Cordyceps may suppress the calming benefits of Reishi, creating a neutral or ineffective result.

At Boxed-In, we specialize in single-species tinctures. This allows you to tailor your intake with precision, using the right mushroom for the right purpose without compromise.

How to Use Our Tinctures for Maximum Effect

To get the most from your dual extract tincture, consistency and proper use are key.

• Take 2 mL daily (equivalent to two full droppers)

• Administer directly under the tongue for faster absorption or mix into cold liquids such as juice or smoothies

• Use daily for sustained, cumulative benefits

Important: Do not add tinctures to hot beverages. Excessive heat can degrade the fragile compounds extracted from the mushrooms, reducing their therapeutic effect.
