Functional mushrooms have been valued for thousands of years for their ability to support the body in numerous ways. Each type offers unique benefits, often referred to as specific "functions." Known as adaptogens, they are commonly used to enhance focus, boost energy, alleviate stress, improve sleep, and strengthen the immune system. Don’t forget to visit our Blog for insightful articles, delicious recipes, and practical self-care tips all centered around mushrooms and adaptogens!

All the functional mushrooms we use are completely legal, safe, and widely recognized for their health benefits. You can easily find them in stores across Canada, and they are well-known to Health Canada for their traditional and modern uses. None of these mushrooms are psychoactive, making them a natural and healthy choice.

Raw mushrooms aren’t digestible in their natural state, so to unlock their incredible nutritional benefits, like polysaccharides and triterpenes, they need to be extracted.

Here’s the science: mushrooms contain a tough compound in their cell walls called chitin. It’s the same substance found in crab and shrimp shells, making it extremely hard for our bodies to break down. Think of chitin as a locked door. Behind that door are all the amazing nutrients mushrooms have to offer, but without unlocking it, your body simply can’t access them.

That’s where the extraction process comes in. All the functional mushrooms in our products go through both hot water and alcohol extraction methods to ensure we’re getting the full range of nutrients from each species. Afterward, the extract is spray-dried into a convenient powder, making it easy to use in both hot and cold drinks.

We’ve done all the hard work for you, so all you need to do is enjoy the benefits of these powerful, natural ingredients. Cheers to your health!

We highly recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your supplementation, particularly if you have specific health concerns or needs. Many of our customers do combine products together.

Functional foods are just one element of a balanced wellness routine. Remember to also focus on other aspects of your wellbeing, such as sleep, movement, and mental health. True wellness is a journey, so be patient with yourself. Take it slow, listen to your body, and support your overall health through healthy eating, positive habits, exercise, and mental health practices that work for you.

We highly recommend exploring PubMed, one of our favorite databases for research and articles. PubMed is an online search engine that provides free access to a vast collection of medical studies. You can check it out here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.

For Canadian-specific resources, you can visit the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) or the Health Canada Research Portal. These platforms offer valuable insights, reports, and data on health-related topics:

• CIHI: https://www.cihi.ca

The functional mushroom industry can be a bit confusing at times, as many products marketed as "mushrooms" are actually not mushrooms at all. Instead, they are often mycelium—the root-like structure of the mushroom—grown on grain. At The Youth Effect, we believe in offering the purest ingredients from nature. That means we use the actual mushroom, or fruiting body, in our products.

Let us explain why:

For thousands of years, cultures worldwide have exclusively used the fruiting body of mushrooms. This is the part traditionally consumed for its health benefits. While research on mycelium is still developing, studies have shown that fruiting bodies contain up to 15 times more active compounds (such as beta-glucans, triterpenes, and ergosterol) than mycelium.

Many products containing mycelium actually consist of mycelium grown on grain, where the grain makes up a large portion of the final product. In fact, if a product is made from mycelium, the FDA doesn't even allow it to be labeled as "mushroom."

Using the fruiting body is more expensive, time-consuming, and can be quite bitter in its pure form, but we choose to do this because we want to bring you the highest-quality, most effective mushrooms. This approach is rooted in both centuries of tradition and solid scientific research.

Yes, all of our products are completely vegan and gluten-free! None of our ingredients contain gluten or come from animal sources.

We take allergen safety seriously and are committed to providing our customers with clear, reliable information.

While our mushroom coffee specifically do not contain the eight major allergens recognized by the FDA, such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, wheat, or soy, some of our products, particularly our lattes, do contain tree nuts. Additionally, our products are processed in a facility that handles tree nuts. We take all necessary precautions to prevent cross-contamination, including thorough cleaning and sanitizing of our equipment. However, if you have a severe allergy, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before consuming any of our products. For any allergen-related questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via email or through our "Contact Us" page.

We recommend always checking the ingredients before consuming any of our products, especially if you have allergies.

Our products are designed for adults and not intended for children. Before giving any supplement to a child, it's best to consult a healthcare professional. While functional mushrooms are generally safe, the dosage and type may not be suitable for children, and allergies should always be considered. When in doubt, consult a healthcare provider.

We always advise consulting with your healthcare provider before trying any new product, including our mushroom coffee, especially if you're pregnant or nursing. While our products are crafted with natural ingredients, it's important to confirm their safety for both you and your baby. We recommend reviewing the ingredient list for each product and discussing it with your healthcare provider to determine if our mushroom coffee products are suitable for you.
