No, these gummies are not psychedelic. They are made from functional mushrooms known for their health and wellness benefits, not for any psychoactive effects.

We do a few things at Brain Wave that make our mushroom gummies the best on the market.

1) Organic and Responsibly Sourced: All of our mushrooms are grown organically on a single regenerative farm in the USA.

2) Supercharged Nutrient Profiles: The substrate (or medium on which we grow our mushrooms) is a superfood (Peruvian purple corn). Mushrooms are known to absorb and concentrate nutrients from their growing medium. With Peruvian purple corn, which is rich in antioxidants (especially anthocyanins, the compounds that give it its purple color), vitamins, and minerals, is used as a substrate, the mushrooms absorb these nutrients, greatly enhancing their nutritional profile.

3) Organic and Natural Ingredients: We use natural coloring and ingredients throughout our formula such as sweet potato and carrots, organic tapioca, and coconut oil.

The main benefits of using functional mushrooms include cognitive enhancements (such as memory, clarity and focus), immune and stress support, and energy and endurance support. The history of mushrooms as a health aid is rich and diverse, reflecting the wide variety of mushrooms and the different cultural approaches to their use. Human beings have been taking mushrooms as health supplements for thousands of years. Mushrooms were used in ancient Egypt and Greece, in traditional Chinese medicine, and Indigenous cultures throughout the world.

Everyone is a bit different and experiential effects certainly vary person to person. Some people may feel a “post yoga glow” giving them an easy and relaxed feeling. Others find focus where there was once distraction and busyness. Some feel they are fortified to navigate stress in a calm and collected manner. Active lifestyle enthusiasts enjoy increased endurance. Others still may find it difficult to put their finger on the feeling, or perhaps aren’t experiencing tangible effects, but they understand the science and long term benefits aren’t something they’ll experience day to day.

Brain Wave co founders have taken mushroom supplements consistently for years. We take them consistently throughout the year, perhaps switching individual mushroom intake per desired effect. For instance, if we wanted to focus on our cognition we may supplement our gummies with some Lion’s Mane tincture. If we wanted to focus on our immune support we could supplement with a Turkey Tail powder. It’s OK to take a little time away or cycle through your supplementation, but consistent dosing is the most effective and beneficial way to use functional mushrooms.

The attributes which make mushrooms essential players in their natural habitats (interspecies communication, detoxification and purification, nutrient cycling, support of microbial diversity), also offer clues to their potential as beneficial supplements for human health. Their ability to connect, detoxify, nourish, and adapt in nature could translate into supporting similar functions in the human body, making them a unique and valuable addition to health and wellness regimens.

• Lion's Mane is celebrated for its cognitive and nerve-supporting properties.

• Cordyceps is known for enhancing energy and athletic performance.

• Chaga boasts high antioxidant content for immune support.

• Reishi is revered for stress reduction and immune support.

• Turkey Tail is recognized for its potent immune-boosting qualities.

• Maitake is often used for its potential in regulating blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

We recommend consuming two gummies per dose. Brain Waves provides you with the most mg of fermented mushroom powder per gummy on the market, as far as we know. At 200mg of fermented mushroom powder per gummy, or 400mg per dose we boast an impactful dose. We like taking two gummies in the morning and following up with more through the afternoon should the mood strike.

The short answer is yes. However, while these gummies are generally safe, they may not be suitable for everyone, such as pregnant or nursing women, children, or those with specific health conditions or taking certain medications. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new dietary supplement.

All our mushrooms are sourced from a single organic, regenerative farm in the USA, emphasizing sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The mushrooms are grown on a nutrient-rich superfood, Amazonian Purple Corn, which enhances their antioxidant profile. The entire processing, from cultivation to gummy production takes place in the USA, ensuring the highest standards of quality and purity in every gummy. At the end of production the product is tested in a 3rd party lab.
