Simply add one teaspoon (2 grams) of Om Mushroom Superfood powder to your favorite juice, smoothie, tea, coffee or recipe everyday! We recommend that you double dose for the first 3 weeks of use to accelerate results. For Om Drink Sticks, dilute one teaspoon or one stick into 12-16 oz. of water or juice.  Brain Fuel is great in nut milks. Shake extra well to dissolve powders fully.

Om Mushroom Superfood capsules are an easy and convenient way to enjoy the benefits of functional mushrooms.  Each 3-capsule serving provides 2,000mg of Om Mushroom Superfood powders.

Functional mushrooms have been traditionally used for thousands of years.  Numerous published research articles have established the health benefits of these unique and powerful mushrooms.  Support for immune health is the primary benefit.  Functional mushrooms contain beta glucans which are important for immune system functionality.  Humans do not produce beta glucans and, therefore, functional mushrooms can play an important role in supporting daily health and wellness.  In addition to immune health, each type, or species of mushroom provides its own special benefits.

A majority of the bioactive compounds are very stable at higher temperatures. Other enzymes and some vitamins can be slightly degraded when exposed to heat. Some compounds, such as beta glucans, may become more bio-available when taken in hot liquid or when cooked in foods.

Yes. we guarantee that our Mushroom Superfood powders are gluten free.  We grow our mushrooms on 100% organic, non-GMO gluten free whole oats, which provides a clean, nutritious growing environment, much like nutrient-rich soil provides for plants.  Oats themselves do not contain gluten.  Every delivery of oats we receive has a Certificate of Compliance.  We carefully inspect every load that is received and reserve the right to reject the load if gluten-grain contamination is found.  To make absolutely sure our mushroom powders are in alignment with FDA guidelines, every production lot is tested at a 10ppm gluten threshold level to ensure that the finished products are well below the current FDA guidelines that require less than 20ppm gluten for gluten-free product labeling.

Yes.  Om Mushroom Superfood products should be taken daily for maximum effectiveness.  There are long-term benefits of daily mushroom consumption as our bodies adapt over time with the support of the diverse range of naturally-occurring bioactive nutrients in functional mushrooms.  Always consult your health care provider for any questions related to diet.

Om can be taken any time during the day and can be consumed with or without other foods. If you have any questions regarding diet, you should always consult your health care provider.

No. It isn’t necessary. However, Om mushroom powders are great when added to your favorite drink or recipe. Check out our recipes on our ommushrooms.com/recipes.

Yes.  Each mushroom species has unique nutritional benefits and there can be added benefits in combining more than one species.  We recommend 4g per day for the first 3 weeks when you start to take Om Mushroom Superfood Powders, followed by 2g per day after 3 weeks of use.  Like all dietary supplements, check with your health care provider for any questions related to diet.

Store your products in a cool, dry place after each use to prevent moisture from getting into the product. 

Om Mushrooms provide a variety of nutritional benefits.  Some of the primary ingredients include beta glucans and other polysaccharides, polyphenols, prebiotic non-soluble fiber, and digestive enzymes that support immune function.  Functional mushrooms also contain vitamins, such as Vitamin D, minerals, and amino acids/proteins.  In addition, there are many mushroom-specific compounds such as triterpenes (from Reishi and Turkey Tail), cordycepin (from cordyceps) and neurotrophic factors (from Lion’s Mane) all of which contribute to overall health and wellness.

We use the whole mushroom to provide a more complete nutrient profile rather than isolating only specific parts of the mushroom.  Mycelial biomass is the root-like structure of the mushroom, the most bioactive stage of the mushroom life cycle. The mycelium is the primary life system of the mushroom and is full of polysaccharides, prebiotic fibers, neurotrophic and immune-supporting compounds. 

Yes.  Om Mushroom Superfood powders are suitable for a Paleo/Keto diet.  Functional mushrooms are approved for both diets.

Our expert mycology team has combined experience of more than 100 years of growing mushrooms.  Our organic functional mushrooms are grown through their full life cycle including myceliated biomass, primordial and/or fruit bodies in an ultra-clean environment at our indoor farm in Carlsbad, California.  We then carefully dehydrate the mushrooms at low temperatures to retain nutritional activity.  The resulting mushroom powder contains a full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds including beta glucans, polysaccharides and polyphenols, that support immune function. In addition, there are many mushroom-specific compounds such as triterpenes (from Reishi and Turkey Tail), cordycepin (from cordyceps) and neurotrophic factors (from Lion’s Mane) all of which contribute to overall health and wellness.  Our indoor farm is a cGMP (Certified Good Manufacturing Practices) facility that is Certified 100% Organic, Project Verified Non-GMO, Kosher and Gluten Free to ensure highest quality and efficacy. 

Our mushrooms are grown and packaged in our indoor farm in Carlsbad, CA.

Yes.  All of our products are subject to in-house and 3rd party testing for heavy metals and other contaminants and meet and exceed industry standards, including Prop 65. Because we grow and process our own mushrooms in an ultra-clean cGMP (Certified Good Manufacturing Practices) facility, we can ensure the mushrooms are of the highest quality.

The mushrooms are grown in our indoor farm in Carlsbad, California. They are then harvested and dehydrated with filtered, heated air. Once dehydrated, the mushrooms are milled into a fine powder, which are then packaged and ready to ship.

Beta glucan standardization can generally only be done with extracted products-- you keep extracting and concentrating until you reach the desired concentration with hot-extraction processes followed by spray-drying or the use of solvents to precipitate the beta glucans out of solution. Often with "standardized" beta glucan mushroom products, the standardization of beta glucan content is achieved by spiking the mushrooms with cheaper- and easier-to-produce yeast-derived beta glucans that cannot be differentiated analytically from the mushroom-derived beta glucans.

Using sample preparation steps that are appropriate for our unextracted, whole food mushroom powders, we get beta glucan contents in our mushroom powders that are greater than 20% (DW). Although there is a diversity of opinions, it is generally thought that somewhere between 250 and 500 mg/day of beta glucans is sufficient to trigger the host-mediated immune responses to beta glucans that result in the support and balancing of immune function. At a 20% beta glucan content, our recommended daily serving does provide sufficient beta glucans to trigger a cascade of host-mediated immune responses and cell-signaling events.  More is not always better.

It is important to note that while beta glucans do get the most attention regarding the immune support provided by mushrooms, beta glucans are by no means the only constituents that are present in unextracted, functional mushroom powders that work together to support immune function.  Other immunity-supporting constituents include fungal alpha glucans, prebiotic dietary fibers, antioxidants (glutathione, ergothioneine, polyphenols, SOD), triterpenes, sterols, peptides, vitamins and minerals.

Om Superfood Mushroom powders contain both mycelium and fruiting bodies to provide the complete nutrient profile.  Some of the species produce fruit bodies (the spore-producing stage of the mushroom life cycle) more readily and abundantly than other species.  The mycelium, or the root-like system of the mushroom, is an amazing network of active threadlike strands and the primary life system of the mushroom.  Mycelium contains important bio-active compounds and is full of polysaccharides, prebiotic fibers, neurotrophic and immune-supporting compounds, many of which are only found or primarily in the mycelium.

We produce Om Mushroom Superfood powders by what is technically called Solid State Fermentation (SSF), whereby enzymes naturally produced by the mushroom mycelia (the root-like system of the mushroom) enzymatically “digests” or "ferments" the certified organic, gluten free, whole oats that we grow the mushrooms on.  This natural fermentation process breaks down the nutrition contained in the oats so that the nutrients can be absorbed across the cell walls and into the mushroom mycelia for conversion into mushroom tissue and mushroom metabolites.  There is no additional fermentation after this stage.

Mushrooms are adaptable and have the ability to produce a multitude of enzymes that allow them to access the nutrition contained in many types of substrate materials.  We grow our mushrooms on Certified 100% Organic, Project Verified Non-GMO, gluten-free whole oats because they provide a uniquely nutritious and clean growing environment.  Unlike a low-nutrition substrate such as wood, oats provide a naturally challenging growing environment that encourages enzymetic activity for mushrooms.  Oats are a planet-friendly option, generally grown as an un-irrigated crop.  Unlike other functional substrates used for growing functional mushrooms, such as rice, oats do not require large amounts of water.  Finally, oats do not emit large amounts of methane, a common greenhouse gas.
