Why Functional Mushroom Gummies are Here to Stay

Two very different types of mushroom products are growing in popularity online. The first type falls under superfoods, like our functional mushroom gummies. They contain beneficial options like reishi, lion’s mane, and chaga.

The second type is more psychoactive, lending to their “magic” mushroom nicknames. You might consider the classic red fungi with white spots, the Amanita muscaria, as an example.

When psilocybin-laced mushrooms are available, though, why would consumers go for ‘superfoods’ instead? There are several reasons some prefer ours over the other. Today, dive into our guide as we discuss why our functional Vitality mushroom gummies are here to stay.

What are ‘Functional’ Mushroom Gummies?

Worldwide, mushrooms are found in both food-safe and toxic varieties. Every culture has some history surrounding their use, and many old-world meals involve them as a food staple. 

But not all fungi are equal. Some of these edible mushrooms have proven to do more than keep our bellies full. Instead, they may help improve our daily well-being. 

Not everyone likes the taste of them, though. That’s where our mushroom gummies come in handy.

These gummies are supplements that harness the strength of beneficial fungi. We carefully select each mushroom in our gummies, learning which is best for providing beneficial effects. Then, we pair those strengths with delicious candy flavors, resulting in a single, delicious serving in each gummy.

We didn’t chase popularity hype, either. Each ingredient complements the next, offering an overall well-rounded experience. 

The functional part is thanks to each ingredient’s known and potential benefits. Each may strengthen the body in some way. Likewise, each gummy sports other vital ingredients, including CBD, THC, L-theanine, and more. We wanted a blend that would work together to form a stronger synergy than the ingredients apart.

Since all good things come in moderation, another way to think of these functional supplements is a way to microdose mushroom gummies. The more they become a part of your routine, the better the results often are over time.

Are Functional Mushroom Gummies Better than Amanita Mushroom Gummies?

A litany of supplements is on the market, including mushroom supplements. Some even use mushrooms that aren’t highlighted for their health benefits. Instead, they may favor other types for their psychoactive-inducing abilities.

And a prime example of this is the magic amanita mushroom gummy.

Amanita Mushroom Gummies

Amanita muscaria is the classic red fungi with white spots. It’s the stereotypical default people think of when they consider ‘magic mushroom gummies.’

However, just because Amanita is getting more popular doesn’t mean the general public uses it safely. That might be due to their potential adverse side effects. Some side effects can include:

• Nausea,
• Vomiting,
• Dizziness,
• Muscle fasciculation,
• Agitation,
• Visual hallucinations,
• Disorientation and Dysphoria,
• Ataxia,
• Seizures,
• and even coma.

These effects can onset suddenly or without warning, and they’re often a result of what’s inside the Amanita. Namely, the mushroom contains muscimol and ibotenic acid. When taken in high doses, these compounds can be toxic and also may lead to liver damage. Exceeding recommended dose guidelines can cause visual distortions, sweating, and diarrhea. Overall, the trip might not be worth the adverse effects that may come with it.

Functional Mushroom Gummy Benefits

While functional mushroom gummies aren’t ‘get you stoned mushroom gummies,’ they may still offer a way for your body to relax and decompress naturally. The microdose of delta-9 THC may also boost the effects without becoming a focal point. 

 

Benefits of Ingredients in Our Mushroom Gummies

Below, we list each ingredient and explain why they belong in our functional mushroom gummies. Together, they provide a long list of potential benefits.

Reishi

Reishi mushrooms have been used in medicine for thousands of years. There is good reason for this, too, since reishi has long been known to help people in need. Some of the issues reishi is used for include stress, anxiety, liver health, boosting immunity, and even improving cardiovascular health. 

Chaga

Chaga has long-lasting roots in northern European and Russian history. It was often used to help with inflammation, blood sugar, and stress.

Promising research also looks at Chaga’s antioxidant properties. Researchers are investigating how they might link to lowering cholesterol and reducing skin aging.

Lion’s Mane

As a supplement, lion’s mane may help with digestion, immune system support, cognitive function, and even nervous system recovery. Research is still ongoing, but there are countless anecdotal reports to help reinforce the findings available.

As research on this super mushroom continues, its antioxidant properties and impact on cardiovascular disease show major promise. 

L-Theanine

Among other plants, one might readily find L-Theanine in black and green teas. The amino acid is largely responsible for many health benefits of drinking tea regularly, including boosting the immune system.

Other benefits of L-theanine include better sleep, sharper focus, and improved gut health. Research also looks at its potential for cognitive function, especially in middle-aged and elderly consumers. Other researchers have reviewed clinical studies and other trials for its 

Tyrosine

Tyrosine is another amino acid we add to our gummy blend. It is also found in avocados, almonds, bananas, milk, yogurt, pumpkin seeds, and many other foods. It also helps the body produce important enzymes and build proteins.  Tyrosine is part of many consumers’ daily diets, whether they realize it or not!

This amino acid is present in many healthy food sources and is often related to improved mood regulation, brain function, and weight loss. Some research suggests that it might help relieve the effects of stress.

Caffeine (with the prior two supplements)

Caffeine is a prevalent compound worldwide. It’s easy to find in several natural sources, and its benefits and effects are well-documented.

Some research looks at the effects of caffeine on mental and physical performance — when combined with theanine and tyrosine. Low-dose caffeine with the other two supplements may improve movement accuracy, among other benefits.

In short, our mushroom gummies might be ideal even for athletes and those who take exercise seriously.

CBD

Anecdotal reports from people using CBD show a consistent trend of anxiety relief and better pain management. There is also a trend of better sleep that users claim to experience. In the world of cannabinoid research, moderate evidence links CBD to better anxiety, pain, and muscle spasticity management. This might be particularly beneficial to patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as inflammatory conditions, chronic pain, and more.

CBG

CBG research strongly focuses on its analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory effects. There is growing evidence that CBG may have therapeutic potential for conditions such as arthritis, IBS, IBD, and other inflammatory conditions.

THC

Outside of THC’s intoxicating effects, research shows it has the potential for several health benefits. THC may offer pain relief, reduce nausea, and deliver anti-inflammatory effects, among many others.

 

What is the (Functional) Mushroom Gummies High Like?

A regularly asked question about our vitality mushroom gummies is, “If it has THC in it, what is the high like?”

Well, the answer depends on your experience with THC products and your tolerance. THC and other ingredients in our edibles can hit consumers differently depending on several factors.

For people already using THC products, 4mg can seem a little low for an active dose. Those who regularly smoke THC flower or use other high-percentage THC products may not feel the high. Those people can expect to feel the other benefits that THC can potentially offer, however. 

Some effects that users report experiencing include reduced pain for chronic issues such as nerve damage and arthritis, a sense of calm, easier sleep, and clearer thoughts. 

For those with a lower tolerance or who aren’t familiar with THC, 4mg can be a reasonable starting dose. It may even trigger noticeable effects. This buzz will be less intense than a standard high since it is a low-dose edible. Still, consumers can expect the euphoric impact to last six or more hours if it does happen. 

Some consumers report effects that include euphoria and relaxation. Low doses shouldn’t cause adverse effects, like brain fog or couch lock.

Are They Safe?

Safety is always a top priority when consuming any supplement, including mushroom gummies. We carefully select natural ingredients that work harmoniously together for our Vitality gummies. Each ingredient is well-tolerated, but there are still some things to keep in mind.

If you’re new to these types of supplements, start with a low dose to see how your body reacts. The low-dose THC in our gummies is minimal, helping to avoid any intense adverse effects. A typical mushroom gummy’s side effects might include dry mouth and drowsiness.

And of course, consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement. That goes especially for those with pre-existing conditions or those on prescription medications.

How Long Do Mushroom Gummies Last?

The effects of mushroom gummies can vary depending on the individual. Generally, our Vitality gummies provide a balanced experience that may last between four and six hours. These supplements offer a combination of functional superfoods, CBD, CBG, a microdose of THC, and more. As a result, consumers may notice a gradual onset and prolonged effects compared to other edibles.

This spectrum of effects allows for better focus, relaxation, and stress relief. Those with a higher THC tolerance may have physical benefits that outshine the intoxicating effects. Lower-tolerance consumers may feel a mild buzz that can last several hours.

 

Are Mushroom Gummies Legal?

Like our Vitality blend, other functional mushroom gummies are perfectly legal in most states. They contain beneficial ingredients that meet federal guidelines.

Amanita muscaria and other psychoactive fungi often exist in a legal gray area. It makes it more complicated to source them reliably.

Always be sure to check local laws, especially if you’re traveling or ordering mushroom products online. The good news is that our edibles often provide the benefits consumers are after without the same legal hurdles as other psychoactive options.

Not All Mushroom Gummies are Equal

With so many mushroom supplements flooding the market, knowing what you’re getting is essential. Some brands focus on flashy trends like Amanita muscaria. Others aim to provide genuine health benefits, as seen in our Vitality gummies.

We root our formula in research and real-world benefits. As a result, we combine superfoods with cannabinoids like CBD and CBG to deliver a superior product. We seek a reliable, safe, and effective way to support overall wellness and health. Not all gummies are equal, but we’re confident ours are a step above the rest.
