About Mushroom Supplements
- Life Force 7 is our flagship functional-mushroom extract blend made from 7 fruiting-body mushrooms only: Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake.
- Each is dual-extracted and concentrated 12:1 for potency and bioavailability, with no mycelium, no grain fillers, and no sugars.
- Crafted in Canada and packaged in a Health Canada–licensed facility.
- Third-party tested in Vancouver for quality and consistency.
- Designed for everyday support of healthy aging, vitality, focus, and immune health.
- Available in 60 g and 150 g resealable bags.
- Health Canada NPN: 80138709
Whole mushrooms contain beneficial compounds but in lower amounts. Our 12:1 extraction concentrates these compounds to therapeutic levels and breaks down chitin (indigestible cell walls), making nutrients bio available and effective.
“Fruiting body only” means we use just the mature mushroom (cap and stem), not mycelium and not the grain it grows on.
Why it matters:
- Highest beta-glucans: Fruiting bodies naturally deliver the highest beta-glucans content—the key immune-active compounds most people are looking for.
- No grain fillers: Avoids starch from rice or oats that can dilute potency.
- Better extraction: We 12:1 dual-extract the fruiting body (hot water + ethanol) to break down chitin and make beta-glucans and triterpenes bioavailable.
- Verified quality: Every batch is third-party tested in Vancouver for identity, potency (including beta-glucans), and purity.
Mushroom extracts
(like Life Force 7)
- Multi-compound & food-derived
- Supports focus, stress, energy, immunity
- Gentler, daily-use friendly

Bottom line: For safe, daily support, start with mushroom extracts. Consult a clinician before adding stimulants.
We start with the mushroom, not fillers. Life Force 7 uses only 100% fruiting bodies from seven functional species, grown on hardwood and extracted for potency.
What that means for you:
- Organic fruiting bodies only — no mycelium, no grain, no starches, no sugars, no artificial flavors
- Dual extraction and concentrated 12:1 for bioavailable beta-glucans and triterpenes in every 1 g serving
- Sourced exclusively from British Columbia, Canada
- Packaged in Ontario, in a Health Canada–licensed facility for consistency and traceability
- Third-party tested in Vancouver by SGS to verify identity, potency, and purity so every batch meets specifications
A mild, nutty mushroom flavour that blends easily into any beverage.
Yes, Life Force 7 is caffeine-free. It contains only extracted functional mushrooms, with no caffeine added. Many people enjoy adding it to their coffee, water, or favourite beverage.
Safety and Interactions
Yes. Functional mushrooms have been used safely for centuries. Life Force 7 uses pure, organic extracts, free from fillers or additives. Side effects are rare and usually mild (e.g., digestive adjustment).
Caution is needed with:
- Immunosuppressants
- Blood sugar medications
- Blood thinners
Always consult your healthcare provider before use.
Life Force 7 is formulated for adults. Use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in children should only be under medical guidance.
- Temporary digestive adjustment
- Mild headaches as the body adapts
- Rare allergic reactions
These usually resolve within days. Reduce dosage and increase gradually if sensitive.
Quality & Manufacturing
Organically cultivated in British Columbia, Canada, under pristine, controlled conditions on hardwood (never grain).
Chaga and a portion of Turkey Tail are wild-harvested in BC.
All fruiting bodies are dual-extracted 12:1 and packaged in Ontario, with third-party testing by SGS in Vancouver.
Every batch is tested by SGS Laboratories in Vancouver for:
- Beta-glucan and alpha-glucan content
- Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead)
- Microbiological safety (E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus)
- Vitamin D levels
- Potency and purity
Yes. organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan.
All mushrooms are grown on hardwood, never on grain, rice, barley or sorghum. This results in higher beta-glucans and purity.
The Difference Between Hardwood and Grain Substrates:
Hardwood: Growing mushrooms on hardwood (or sawdust blocks derived from hardwood) mimics the mushroom's natural environment. This method produces fully developed fruiting bodies rich in beta-glucans and triterpenes.
Grain: Growing mycelium on grain (rice, oats, rye) is cheaper and faster, but the end product contains large amounts of starch. This dilutes the actual beta-glucan content. Many tests can even mistake starch for beta-glucans, leading to misleading labels.
In Summary: Hardwood-grown fruiting body extracts deliver higher potency and purity, while grain-grown mycelium products are cheaper but much weaker.
- Standardized cultivation conditions
- Strict 12:1 extraction process
- Batch testing for potency and purity
- GMP-compliant facilities in Canada
Product Comparison & Selection
We source only the finest, ethically-sourced ingredients to ensure premium quality and effectiveness.
When comparing mushroom supplements, it’s important to understand what you’re actually buying.
1. Fruiting Body Extract vs. Non-Extracted Fruiting Body
Even if a company uses fruiting bodies, most simply grind them into powder. While this contains nutrients, the beneficial compounds are locked inside chitin (mushroom cell walls), which humans cannot fully digest. Our 12:1 patented extraction process concentrates and releases these compounds, meaning 1 gram of Life Force 7 extract ≈ 12 grams of non-extracted fruiting body. You’d need twelve times more plain fruiting body powder to equal the potency of Life Force 7.
2. Fruiting Body Extract vs. Mushroom Powder (Most Competitors)
Most brands don’t even use pure fruiting bodies. They use the whole mushroom, including stems, mycelium (roots), and grain substrate, which significantly lowers active compound levels (especially beta-glucans). This means their 150g bag may look cheaper, but you’re paying mostly for starch and filler, not therapeutic potency.
The Bottom Line:
A 150g bag of Life Force 7, represents the concentrated equivalent of about 1,800g of non-extracted fruiting bodies, and far more compared to mycelium-heavy whole mushroom powders. That’s why Life Force 7 delivers much higher beta-glucan content, greater purity, and real results, making it the better value despite the higher price tag.
Powders give you control, capsules fix the dose.
Powders (Life Force 7)
- Adjustable dosing — easy to titrate based on how you you feel
- Mixes in seconds into coffee, tea, smoothies, or water
- No capsule shell or excipients — just 12:1 dual-extracted fruiting bodies
- Better value per gram: 1 g serving ≈ actives from ~12 g dried fruiting body
Capsules
- Convenient for travel, but fixed low doses (often 300–600 mg) — need multiple to reach 1 g
- Shell adds bulk and another ingredient to ingest
- Typically higher cost per effective dose, and many include mycelium or grain
Bottom line: We offer Life Force 7 as a powder for potency, flexibility, and purity.
Mushroom coffees
- Usually mix instant coffee with small amounts of non-extracted mushroom powder (often under 1 g per serving)
- Caffeine masks how you actually feel from the mushrooms
- Potency varies widely and is rarely disclosed
Gummies
- Commonly ~0.7 g of non-extracted powder per gummy
- Non-extracted = mostly starch and fiber, low bioavailability
- You’d need many gummies to approach 1 g of real extract
Life Force 7
- 12:1 dual-extracted, fruiting body only — no fillers, no caffeine
- 1 g serving = actives from ~12 g dried fruiting bodies for superior bioavailability
- Designed for daily support of focus, steady energy, immune balance, and healthy aging
- 12:1 dual-extracted — not plain powder. One 1 g serving concentrates actives from ~12 g of dried fruiting bodies.
- Fruiting bodies only — never mycelium or grain. Delivers the highest beta-glucans with no starch dilution.
- Canadian grown, exclusively in British Columbia on hardwood, organic.
- Packaged in Ontario in a Health Canada–licensed facility for traceability and consistency.

- Sustained daily energy
- Improved focus and memory
- Better sleep and stress resilience
- Stronger immune response
