What is the shelf life of your products?

Can I safely use multiple mushroom products or tinctures simultaneously?
Yes! Adaptogenic Mushrooms are synergistic and can often accomplish more together than alone. While Lion’s Mane offers robust cognitive support, other medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi, Chaga, Turkey Tail and Cordyceps have additional immunostimulating properties that can compliment the use of Lion’s Mane.

When will I notice a difference in my health?
Each individual has a unique response to food, remedies, and thus medicinal mushrooms; so the way medicinal mushrooms are metabolized varies from person to person. It can be assumed that utilizing the mushrooms consistently on a daily basis will provide the fastest results. Üphoric Urth utilized liquid extracts as they are absorbed more quickly into the system, providing you with the quickest results.

Will your products encourage yeast to grow in my body?
No, this is a common misconception is that ingesting mushrooms will facilitate fungal overgrowth in the body. Medicinal mushrooms strengthen the body's immune response and are also very low in the sugars that promote yeast growth. If you're experiencing yeast overgrowth you should consult a healthcare professional about your specific situation.
What is the difference between a tincture and an extract?
Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts with an alcohol base. The difference between a tincture and an extract is that tinctures are made with alcohol as the solvent. If you are using water, vinegar, glycerine, or any menstruum (solvent) other than alcohol, your preparation is technically an extract, not a tincture.
We believe that tinctures are more potent and effective because they include both the water soluble and alcohol soluble compounds of the mushroom - the best of both worlds. Receiving only part of the medicinal benefits (through only a water extraction) would not be utilizing the organism to its fullest potential.This is why we dual extract all our tinctures so you receive the most and best possible medicinal compounds for optimal efficacy.
