FAQ

Where are your mushrooms from?

We are unique from many other medicinal mushroom companies as we grow our own medicinal mushrooms at our sustainable farm located in Upstate NY. This ensures quality and uniformity of the mushrooms that go into every batch of tinctures that we make in our laboratory.

All of the Chaga that we source is wild foraged sustainably by licensed foragers.

Are your products organic?

Our mushrooms are grown to organic standards at our own mushroom farm and our tinctures all contain Certified Organic, Non GMO, Kosher Certified, Pharmaceutical Grade alcohol.

How long before I notice the effects?

The effects of mushroom tinctures are subtle and cumulative, and vary depending on the person. Testimonials from customers report some individuals feeling the effect of general wellbeing and less stress within 2-3 weeks of continued usage. Our energy tincture, Cordyceps, can usually be felt within an hour of taking a dose.

GO Mushrooms Tinctures have potential health benefits that have been verified by many sources, but the effects vary with between individuals.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY, so we encourage you to keep taking GO Mushrooms Tinctures, and definitely let us know how your journey goes with our Medicinal Mushroom tinctures.

How much should I take? How do I take it?

We recommend a daily dose of 1ml per tincture - 2x daily. 1ml is clearly marked on the dropper for your convenience.

Our preference is to take 1ml in the morning and 1ml before bed. For best results, we try to take the tincture at the same time every day. There are some exceptions, eg, you might want to take Cordyceps pre-workout and not at night.

During times when additional support is required, you can add an extra dose during the day.

Remember to shake the bottle to mix, as mushroom particulates may settle. Under the tongue is best for absorption, but you can always add to your favorite beverage.

Each 2oz (60ml) bottle contains 60 - 1ml servings and is approximately a 30 or 60 day supply depending on individual daily use.

Can I take multiple tinctures?

If you would like to take multiple tinctures, go for it!
Taking one is fine, but our tinctures are made to be combined.

If not sure which ones to take, there are some great combinations that we love such as our Clarity & Immunity, Gut Health & Longevity, Clarity & Energy bundles. We also make a Super Mushroom Tincture that combines four different Medicinal Mushrooms for those who prefer the simplicity of a single dose.

When combining tinctures, take the full 1m recommended dose of each tincture - and yes, you can take them at the same time.

If taking the Super Mushroom Tincture, you may want to take more than the 1ml recommended dose of 2x per day as it is a combination formula.

What if I take medication?

We cannot legally provide you with medical advice. We recommend you reach out to your healthcare practitioner when considering taking tinctures in combination with any medication, as certain tinctures may affect medications.

Are these safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

We suggest you contact your doctor or healthcare practitioner as there isn't enough research available on this as yet.

Are these safe for children?

We do not know of any reasons why they are not safe for children, however we suggest you contact your doctor or healthcare practitioner as there isn't enough research available on this as yet.

Please remember that there is 30% alcohol in the tinctures, but we do have alcohol free alternatives in our Other Mushroom Medicinals.

What is the shelf life of your tinctures?

For freshness and maximum benefits, we recommend consuming our tinctures within two years of the bottling date.

How should I store my tinctures?

We recommend storing tinctures in a cool, dark environment. Refrigeration is not required.

Our Oxymel is also shelf stable without refrigeration.

Why is there alcohol in your tinctures?

GO Mushrooms Tinctures contain 30% organic, non-GMO, cane ethanol by volume. The alcohol is necessary in order to extract alcohol soluble compounds such as triterpenoids that cannot be extracted through water alone.

If sensitive to alcohol, check out our Other Mushroom Medicinals that are delicious ways to get the benefits of mushroom medicinals without alcohol.

Are there any side effects?

Everyone's body is unique in reaction to medicinal mushrooms. It's always important to consult your physician prior to using mushroom tinctures, especially if you have a history of allergies, asthma, or any other medical condition.

How are your tinctures made?

GO Mushrooms Tinctures are 100% extractions made in our laboratory using our own farm grown mushrooms. We use an optimized ultrasonic process supplemented by a hot water soxhlet extraction, a type of atmospheric liquid extraction, utilizing solvents at boiling temperature and low ambient pressures. The ultrasonic cavitation breaks down the chitin cell walls of the mushroom, increasing the extraction efficiency and releasing the bioactive compounds. These methods allow us to maximize the concentration levels of beta-glucans, triterpenes, and other bioavailable compounds in our tinctures. 

Why is there residue in my tincture?

This is completely normal as there are usually mushroom particulates that settle to the bottom. These are part of the byproducts of the extraction and add to the unique nature of each tincture.

Why is my tincture a different color than the last bottle?

We extract in small batches and although we try to standardize the process, there are small differences in each extraction. Slight differences in color or taste are completely normal and should not affect the efficacy of your tincture.

Can I put tinctures in hot or acidic beverages?

Yes. Our tinctures can be enjoyed in hot (not boiling) or cold beverages, or foods. We do recommend taking under the tongue for faster absorption and to bypass the gastrointestinal tract or liver.

Our Oxymels make a delicious calming mocktail when poured over seltzer.
