Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the Life Force product an adaptogen?
A: Yes. Adaptogens are a class of non-toxic plants and fungi that help the body resist stressors of all kinds. Adaptogens increase the body's ability to resist the damaging effects of stress (due to illness, aging or simply life) and promote or restore normal physiological functioning. They need to be taken over a length of time (often 3 to 6 weeks) to see the benefits. Our Reishi and Turkey tail are adaptogens.

Q: What is the flavor of Life Force?
A: We like to call the flavor earthy, umami, with a hint of bitterness. The bitterness is the Reishi's medicinal profile— the Triterpene compounds that are documented to support immune function and benefit a wide range of medical conditions.

Q: Is this a mushroom powder or a mushroom extract?
A: Both! We are an extract that is in a powder form, the most recommended way to access the medicinal benefits of these mushrooms.

Q: What is the correct dosage for me?
A: For properly extracted mushrooms, the scientific consensus is a daily dosage of at least 80 mg in “extract form.” Our dosage is one gram.

Q: Can I take more if I'm sick?
A: The scientific consensus is a daily dosage of at least 80 mg in “extract form.” Our dosage is one gram. However, it is recommended that you consume more, start with doubling the serving, if you are ill, or have a pain point you are trying to solve.

Q: How long should I take it?
A: Daily adaptogen intake balances your stress response and builds your general tolerance for stress. We like to say take at least 6 weeks to see if you have noticeable results.
