Mushroom Extract Powder - Powerful 10 Blend, Organic Lions Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail Mushrooms Nootropic Brain Supplement for Energy, Calm, Focus & Immune System Booster

------------------------------------------------------ UPDATE: 12/02/18 --------------------------------------------------------- Her latest lab work showed all liver enzymes levels back to normal!! *happy dance!!!* In fact ALL her labs were normal, including kidney labs. She goes back for lab re-check in 3 months. I am lowering her CoQ10 to 30mg twice a day from 200mg. I added the CoQ10 about 3 months ago when I read an NIH study on rats that CoQ10 lowered liver enzymes. I am lowering the mushroom powder to 1/4 teaspoon twice a day and will continue the lecithin which I added 3 months ago when I read that lecithin increases milk thistle's ability to lower liver enzyme levels. I will continue the sam-e and milk thistle but only once a day. The vet did say that her thyroid levels were slightly off, though still in the normal range, indicating possible hyperthyroidism. I did some sleuthing to see if any of the supplements I was giving her had any affect on the thyroid. I discovered that reshi (one of the ingredients in the mushroom powder) had a slight stimulating affect on the thyroid. She was on a pretty heavy dose for such a little cat. Which is another reason for cutting back the dose. --------------------------------------------------------- Original Post --------------------------------------------------------------- My thirteen year old cat is dealing with elevated liver enzymes. The cause is unknown as of yet. She is starting to feel better after a week of syringe feeding rx canned food from the vet along with milk thistle, sam-e, anti nausea meds, pain meds and 2 kinds of antibiotics along with some prednisolone. She started eating some food on her own by Saturday. I still supplement with syringe feedings to get in the required calories along with her meds and supplements. I started her on medicinal mushrooms 6 days ago and just received my package of the 10 mushroom blend powder from Jetsu last night. Today was the first day I tried the 10 mushroom blend. According to Dr. Ihor Basko's article "Understanding the Power of Medicinal Mushrooms in Your Practice" on the IVC Journal website, I should be giving her around 50mg per pound of weight in medicinal mushrooms for liver diseases. She weighs around 9lbs so that would be 450mg, or around 2 scoops/teaspoons. So I put that amount in a small jar, added a bit of water to thin it enough to pull into a dosing syringe. I was expecting a lot of growling, and complaining since she did that with the sam-e, milk thistle and the mushroom capsules I was mixing with water to dose her. But she very quietly and complacently accepted the liquid that I squirted in her mouth. Keeping her on the mushrooms will be easier than I thought. EDIT; I just read that over doing Chaga can affect the kidneys by overburdening them with the excretion of too much potassium and magnesium leading to oxalate nephropathy caused by kidney stones. So I'm gonna have to start her on a preventive dose of Chanca Piedra which is known to dissolve stones. I'll be using Herb Pharma's Stone Breaker as a tincture will be easier to deal with.

NEW REVIEW: I am not exactly happy with this company anymore. They never supply the spoons for measuring, and they have doubled in price in the last few years. I don't know why they would do this to their customers, but I have to find a different brand to start using. This is sad because I've been using this brand for over half a decade and their customer service used to be top-tier. Cheers. OLD REVIEW: For many years I've been buying nootropics, medicinal herbs, mushrooms, energy supplements, powders and liquids to help increase my daily energy levels, and overall perceived sense of well-being. I notice slight differences when i would change an ingredient or take it out of the routine. Of all the products over all of the years I've been searching for my perfect energy/health mix, THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN CHASING THE ENTIRE TIME. I cannot believe how much money and how much time I spent looking for products that, when combined, give me the effects that this product does all by itself. I'm talking I've spent THOUSANDS of dollars trying to create a high quality mix of plants/edibles/chemicals. This product is super impressive. I feel like I could go on talking for a while about it, but if you are looking for a quality energy and health enhancing product, I'd say give your $21 a chance here. I take it twice a day in coffee, the cordyceps in it overtakes much of the flavor so it is a lot like chocolate, and a handful of people at my work are now buying it. I've only had it a few weeks but it works every time, so I will be buying more very soon. A+! Update: On my 4th bag at this moment and STILL loving it. It works every-single-time and has improved my functionality at work! UPDATE 2: it is now nearing the end of 2021 and I am still extremely impressed with this product. It is a standard staple in my diet now, and I've introduced this product to dozens of people over the years. I am beyond satisfied and impressed with this product (WHICH IS NOW ONLY SOLD AS ORGANIC!) and have never gone back to other supplements. After 3+ years of taking it nearly daily, his stuff STILL works for me every single time. I couldn't ask for a better product.

love this and will buy again.

I like the Mushroom Extract Powder very much. It dissolves well and is easy to mix into a hot beverage. I like it in strong coffee with some creamer. Its a little bitter and shroomy and a bit off-putting alone, but coffee's inherent bitterness is effective in covering the strong mushroom flavor. After a few days, I even grew to appreciate the flavors together. I suspect the creamer might potentially bind with some of the fat soluble compounds in the mushroom powder for more bio-availability. I like that this product is prepared from mushroom fruiting bodies, not the mycelium and grain substrate that is common from many other suppliers.

I bought this blend because I was using individual mushroom extract powders daily in my morning coffee, but getting this blend instead was cheaper overall. I use mushroom and herbal extract powders for energy, focus, and immune system regulation to manage my autoimmune condition and keep me healthy. Honestly, this mushroom blend kicks butt. I have to take just 1/2 dose daily, because a full dose is a bit too energizing for me. So it will last twice as long! I also add 1/8 tsp ashwagandha, and a bit of cocoa butter and stevia to my coffee. This mushroom powder has an earthy flavor and aroma, which I find to be a pleasant addition. I can really tell that the Lion's Mane in particular is working (that's the mushroom that always gives me the zippy feeling). It helps me to wake up and get things done. I'm always suspicious of the quality of inexpensive supplements, but the fact that I can feel the effect of the Lion's Mane gives me confidence that the other mushroom extracts are most likely similarly effective. I will continue to purchase this blend to add to my coffee to keep me focused, energized, and healthy.

I started out with some of the name brand mushroom coffees but this product is much less expensive and they publicize the amount of mushrooms where many coffee blends don't give any indication of how much you are getting. I stir this into instant coffee or decaf and get the same results for much less plus I know what I am getting. please note though, it says a the serving is 1/4 tsp but the spoon included is 1/2 tsp. the bag contains 112 servings if 1/4 tsp is used

The flavor is great. I mix it in my morning coffee with my frother and some half and half. I feel like it has boosted my memory and concentration as well. I researched at least 15 competitors' products, and it's a little pricey, but considering that it has so many varieties (10!) of mushrooms and is 100% organic, not a bad deal. If you're new to this, it is very important to know that many, if not most companies use only the mycelium from the mushrooms, root-like structure of filaments at the base and in the soil. (Cheaper, ingredients not as potent or effective). This product is from 100% flowering mushrooms with no fillers, and no mycelium! I will keep buying this one.

I have multiple autoimmune illnesses and after doing some research on mushrooms I decided to try this product to see if I could possibly in time eliminate the 20+ pills I take a day. A big problem with all types of autoimmune is fatigue. I am fatigued NO More!! I put a scoop in my hot coffee in the morning because it easily dissolves and I know I'm getting every bit of it, unlike if I put it in a smoothie and it's coating the side of my blender in the waste. It has a naturally nutty flavor and compliments my coffee well. I'm getting ready to purchase my 3rd or 4th month of the product and I can honestly say I will be a customer for life. It's great when people I'm close with can notice a difference in me. My son who is 30 and lives next door sees me every morning bright and early and he's amazed at how I look and feel. He jokingly says to me,"mom, you've been doing your mushrooms this morning, haven't you". YOU KNOW IT!!
