Mushrooms are also rich in selenium, an essential mineral that helps battle inflammation and regulate hormones.

You can also mix it into sauces or dressings for extra flavour and nutrition! Mushrooms can be grown without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, which means they're more environmentally friendly than other crops.

How is mushroom powder extracted?

Teelixir mushrooms are wildcrafted Di Tao sourced deep in the mountains of China, far from any cities or industrial pollution. Unlike other products, Teelixir turkey tail extract undergoes a dual extraction (water and alcohol) process that uses only the turkey tail mushrooms fruiting bodies. This creates a turkey tail extract rich in immune boosting beta glucans (water soluble polysaccharide compounds) and adaptogenic triterpenoids (alcohol soluble compounds).

Teelixir tonic herbs, mushrooms, and adaptogens are extracted using water and organic ethanol. Their dual extract products undergo a process of dual extraction using water and organic ethanol. Organic ethanol is used to extract the adaptogenic terpenes while hot water extracts the immune modulating beta glucans. This increases their bioavailability and produces a far greater nutritionally potent product.
