Everything you need to know about medicinal mushrooms, our products and how to use them.
Medicinal mushroom tinctures are concentrated liquid extracts made from fungi like Lion's Mane, Reishi, Chaga and Cordyceps. Dr.Shrooms uses dual extraction (water and alcohol) to pull out the full spectrum of bioactive compounds — beta-glucans and triterpenes — which you wouldn't get from capsules or powders alone.
Place 1–2 pipettes under your tongue and hold for 30–60 seconds before swallowing. You can also add it to tea, coffee, smoothies or juice. Take daily for best results — most people notice changes within 1–3 weeks of consistent use.
Dual extraction uses both hot water and alcohol to break down the mushroom's cell walls. Water extracts the beta-glucans (immune compounds) while alcohol extracts the triterpenes (anti-inflammatory compounds). Without both methods, you're only getting half the medicine.
Lion's Mane is the go-to for cognitive support. It stimulates nerve growth factor (NGF), supporting memory, mental clarity and focus. Many customers combine it with Cordyceps & Rhodiola for an energy and concentration stack.
Yes. Medicinal mushrooms are adaptogens — non-habit forming and suitable for daily long-term use. If you're on medication or pregnant, check with your GP first.
Every product is sourced from its authentic origin — wild-harvested or organically grown. No generic bulk suppliers. Our Chaga comes from birch forests, Cordyceps is cultivated on its natural substrate, and plant extracts are sourced from their traditional growing regions.
Tinctures are pre-extracted — bioactive compounds are already broken out of the mushroom's tough chitin cell walls and ready for immediate absorption. Capsules and powders often can't be fully broken down by the digestive system, so you absorb far less of the active compounds.
Absolutely — this is called stacking. Many medicinal mushrooms and herbs work synergistically. Ryan offers free 1-2-1 guidance to help you build a personalised protocol. DM @drshrooms11 on Instagram.
