An adaptogenic or medicinal mushroom is a fungus whose composition has a positive effect on the body. These superfoods have been used for centuries in Chinese medicine. Thanks to their active ingredients, they are able to regulate the organism, control our body's responses to stress, boost immunity, concentration and energy, improve sleep and promote muscular well-being.

No, adaptogenic mushrooms from My Vital Mush are only beneficial to the body and do not create any psychotropic effects. They are totally different from hallucinogenic mushrooms and contain no hallucinogenic substances such as psilocybin, which is responsible for the hallucinogenic effects. What's more, our products are legal worldwide.

Mushrooms fall into several categories:

Gastronomic mushrooms, such as button mushrooms and porcini mushrooms.
Medicinal mushrooms such as Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane or Reishi.
Hallucinogenic mushrooms, which contain substances such as psilocybin that alter the brain.
These categories of mushrooms are quite distinct and have nothing to do with each other. With My Vital Mush formulas, we offer you products based exclusively on medicinal mushrooms, recognized for their health benefits without any harmful effects.

Adaptogenic mushrooms improve overall well-being by helping the body adapt to stress and balance hormones, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. They strengthen the immune system, helping the body to protect itself against infection and disease. By increasing energy and stamina, they make it easier to manage daily tasks and stay active. These mushrooms also improve memory and concentration, which can boost productivity and mental clarity. Finally, by promoting restful sleep, they contribute to optimal recovery, improving mood and overall vitality.

It all depends on each person's body and metabolism. Some people will see results within the first few days (some even on the first dose), while others may take a few weeks.
If necessary, you can increase your daily dose.

My Vital Mush's adaptogenic mushrooms are processed and extracted in an American laboratory, guaranteeing high quality standards. We strive to source as many mushrooms as possible from French and European cultivation, ensuring traceability and quality. We strive to maximize this, but some are also sourced from sustainable agriculture outside Europe, where they have been growing in their idyllic environment for millennia.

In this case, the mushrooms originate from the remote forests and sacred mountains of Asia and America, where nature has cultivated adaptogenic mushrooms with incredible health benefits for millennia.
