Functional or medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi, Cordyceps and Lion's Mane are traditionally used for their bioactive compounds: beta-glucans, triterpenes and polysaccharides. Unlike a vitamin, which is a single molecule with a specific function, a mushroom provides a range of compounds that work together and are associated with adaptogenic properties – helping the body adapt to everyday stress.

Because they are two of the most complete algae. Spirulina provides plant protein and antioxidants, and Chlorella stands out for its chlorophyll content. In the OPTIMUM formula they complement the functional mushrooms across energy, defences and digestive wellbeing.

It depends on the mushroom. For example, the Reishi extract we use has a 15:1 concentration.

It depends on your goal. OPTIMUM is for women looking for all-round wellbeing and beauty from within. OPTIMUM MEN is for men who want more energy, performance and vitality. Vitamin D3+K2 is for adults, men or women, who want to support their bones and defences. And the gummies complement any of them with an extra boost of focus, energy or beauty.

No. When you stop taking them, your body simply stops receiving that extra support, with no rebound effect. Even so, we recommend taking a break of a couple of weeks once a year, ideally in summer.
