About the extracts
What is the recommended daily dose?
The daily dose we recommend to observe results in depth is 40 drops daily in total. In a single dose or in two doses of 20 drops each.
We leave the drops under the tongue for 60 seconds so that the active principles are absorbed through the sublingual mucous membranes.
How many days of treatment will a 50ml bottle last me?
With a full daily dose (40 drops daily), the 50ml extract will last for a treatment of 25 days.
How are your extracts produced?
Our extracts are made using double extraction processes (water and alcohol) to ensure maximum concentration of bioactive compounds.
Are your extracts organic?
We work with raw materials and ingredients with organic certification for the production of our extracts and follow sustainable production processes. Although the final product is not certified organic, we can assure that none of the ingredients it contains have pesticides and/or chemicals of any kind.
How long is it recommended to take medicinal mushroom extracts?
We recommend taking the same type of extract for a minimum of 3 months. When taking extracts, consistency, rather than quantity, will favor good results.
Can I add the drops of the hydroalcoholic extract to a drink?
For better results, we recommend not diluting the extract as we will be diluting the medicinal active principle and its absorption will be reduced.
But we can dilute the 40 drops (2ml) in about 10ml of water and hold them in the mouth, under the tongue for about 20 seconds to enhance absorption through the sublingual mucosa.
Can I combine more than one extract at a time?
Two extracts can be combined at the same time by taking half the daily dose of each extract. For example, one of the most common combinations among our clients is to take the Hericium extract (Lion's Mane) in the morning to start the day supporting the cognitive system, combined with Reishi in the evening/night for deep and restorative rest.
We also recommend combining Chaga, Synergy or Synergy Plus to boost vitality in the morning, with Reishi at night for deep rest and support for the nervous system.
Can I take Boscum extracts if I am pregnant?
We do not recommend taking hydroalcoholic extracts during pregnancy, as there is no minimum dose of alcohol that is guaranteed safe for the proper development of the embryo.
In the case of Reishi, it is a medicinal mushroom that has been used in ancestral medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine during the pregnancy process. For this reason, we have developed Reishi in an alcohol-free and encapsulated format; however, we always recommend consulting with a doctor before starting treatment.
I am taking medication, can I take Boscum medicinal mushroom extracts?
Before combining medicinal mushrooms with any type of medication, we always recommend consulting with a doctor.
The consumption of medicinal mushrooms is contraindicated in combination with medications such as:
- Antidepressants
- Anxiolytics
- Antipsychotics
- Sleep medication
- Antithrombotics
- Anticoagulants
- Medication for cardiac function
What is the best time of day to take Reishi extract?
We recommend taking Reishi extract in the evening starting at 7 PM. You can take the 40 drops all at once or in two doses: 20 drops starting at 7 PM and 20 drops before sleeping. It is important to separate the dose from meals by at least 30 minutes.
We do not recommend taking Reishi extract in the morning, as it reduces cortisol levels, the stress hormone, which we need to be more active in the morning.
What is the best time of day to take Hericium extract?
We recommend taking Hericium extract between 7 AM and 11 AM. We do not recommend taking it after 1 PM. It is advisable to separate it by at least half an hour from meals.

We recommend taking the Sinèrgia Plus extract between 7 AM and 12 PM. We do not recommend taking it after 1 PM. It is advisable to separate it by at least half an hour from meals.
What is the best time of day to take Chaga extract?
We recommend taking the Sinèrgia Plus extract between 7 AM and 12 PM. We do not recommend taking it after 1 PM. It is advisable to separate it by at least half an hour from meals.
From what age can Boscum hydroalcoholic extracts be taken?

Encapsulated extracts, being alcohol-free, can be taken before the age of 18 by adjusting the dosage according to the child or adolescent. However, we always recommend consulting with a doctor or pediatrician in case of doubt.
