The Üphoric Approach — Clean and Simple.
Powered by Fungi.
Whether you seek to boost your daily physical and cognitive wealth, or you are in search of a holistic approach to wellness, mushrooms can provide a deeper enrichment of daily wellbeing. We believe the body benefits from thousands of years of herbal wisdom, guided by nature.
The Scenic Route.
We prioritize sourcing mushroom fruiting bodies for our premium mushroom extracts, as they have been shown to contain the highest concentration of bioactive compounds.
On that Note —
Fruiting Bodies.
We prioritize sourcing mushroom fruiting bodies for our liquid products. The fruiting body is the part of the mushroom that emerges above ground, while mycelium forms the root-like network beneath the surface. Both have their place, but the fruiting body is generally more concentrated in key bioactive compounds, which is why we choose it for our tinctures.
What's the difference?
Think of the fruiting body like an apple tree bearing fruit, and the mcyelium like it’s root structure under ground. Mycelium-based products can end up inseparable from the substrate on which they are grown such as grain. This is why we use the fruiting body part of the organism.
The Liquid Process
There are many ways to enjoy functional mushrooms, but here are a few reasons why we like liquids.
-
Liquids take only several minutes to absorb, whereas solids/powders can take up to 30 minutes.
-
A double extraction method (using water and alcohol) helps to extract more beneficial compounds from the herbal material than a single extraction process.
-
Liquids can be easily added to any drink/soup/sauce, including water, while powders can be chunky, clumpy, and grainy.
