Chaga & Strawberry Immune Booster
Chaga mushrooms are revered medicinal mushrooms known for their immune-enhancing qualities and cholesterol lowering effects, helping prevent heart disease as well as improving energy. Chaga contains beta-glucans which have been shown to strengthen natural defenses while decreasing inflammation in the body.
Chaga is an extremely nutritious superfood that can be made into an aromatic tea, or taken as a supplement in capsule, powder or tincture form. Chaga has been shown to support healthy immune systems, balance energy levels and reduce fatigue while offering powerful antioxidant protection from free radicals and oxidative stress.
Chaga has long been used in Eastern cultures and Traditional Chinese Medicine as a natural way to combat inflammation and increase energy. Furthermore, due to its high concentrations of polysaccharides, it may even help prevent cancerous tumor growth and decrease tumor size.
Chaga has many medicinal qualities that go far beyond immune enhancement; it can also act as an adaptogen, helping the body respond better to both physical and psychological stressors by increasing resilience and providing relief from anxiety. Furthermore, betulinic acid and triterpenes present in its composition provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
This caffeine free elixir and coffee alternative offers a nutritious blend of green tea, turmeric and chaga mushroom for optimal immunity support, optimal wellness and feeling healthy and energetic throughout their day. Enjoy this delectable beverage!
Turkey Tail & Blueberry Immune Booster
Our Turkey Tail & Blueberry Blend is an energetic and nourishing functional mushroom drink designed to promote natural immunity and detoxification. We utilize active freeze-dried mycelium from turkey tail mushrooms that is rich in protein-bound beta glucans (Arabinoxylane, Fucose, Xylose, Galactose and Mannose), glycoproteins, ergosterols and triterpenoids as well as glycoproteins, ergosterols and triterpenoids. Wild chaga and organic blueberry extract provide powerful antioxidants which aid immune functions.
Our functional teas are inspired by traditional Eastern Herbalism, an holistic system of healing which fosters long-term wellbeing. Additionally, our mushroom products have undergone scientific testing for maximum effectiveness.
Turkey tail mushroom has long been recognised for its immune-enhancing benefits and antioxidant content, making it a strong antidote against oxidative stress, protecting cells, and supporting healthy aging. Studies also point towards its use as an aid in conventional cancer therapy treatment programs as well as improving responses against tumors while supporting liver health.
Turkey tail mushrooms owe their effectiveness to immunomodulatory polysaccharides (IP’s), including polysaccharide kreatinin (PSK) and polysaccharide peptide (PSP), both known as potent immune modulators that strengthen and balance our immune systems against infections, diseases and free radicals.
Test-tube studies of PSP have shown it can stimulate monocytes (white blood cells that fight infection and boost immunity). Furthermore, PSP promotes the activity of natural killer (NK) cells which destroy abnormal cells including cancerous ones; furthermore it innately kills tumors without harming nearby tissue.

Schisandra Berry Mocktail
Schisandra, a well-known herb in Chinese herbal medicine, can serve as an emotionally soothing soul tonic that helps mellow and focus the mind. Highly valued for its nourishing benefits such as polyphenolic compounds like lignans and antioxidants which have been known to support mental wellbeing, it may improve concentration, memory retention and lower stress hormone levels for optimal relaxation.
Our Schisandra Mocktail blends the fruity goodness of pomegranate, orange blossom honey, and Manuka ginger with the earthy notes of organic Schisandra Berries to produce an adaptogenic herbal drink. Infused with L-Tyrosine for increased neurotransmitter production that helps sharpen focus while alleviating fatigue, our drink offers an adaptogenic herbal blend.
To create the syrup, combine schisandra berries and water in a pot over low heat, simmer for 30 minutes and strain out both the decocted berry pieces and any surplus syrup that has collected. Place this liquid back into your blender along with some pomegranate juice, mango puree and orange blossom honey before combining together in your glass for immediate enjoyment!
