The Proper Amount of Functional Mushroom Extracts
Functional mushroom extracts have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits. Today, they are gaining popularity in modern wellness practices. One common question that we often get from our customers is, "How much functional mushroom extract should I take?" It's essential to understand that the ideal serving size can vary depending on factors like individual tolerance, specific health goals, and the concentration of the extract.
Understanding Serving Size Recommendations
When incorporating functional mushroom extracts into your daily routine, it's crucial to follow the serving size recommendations provided by reputable sources, including but not limited to the manufacturer of that extract. Because mushroom extracts are not a medicine nor regulated like one, it is important to understand that serving size might not be entirely understood as science. Supplements are NOT like medicines in the way they are regulated or used.
Vesper Mushrooms, known for its high-quality liquid mushroom extracts like the Reishi Extract or the popular Pink Freud Extract Blend, typically provides clear instructions on the recommended serving size for each product.
General Guidelines for Serving Size
While precise serving size may vary, a common recommendation for most functional mushroom extracts is to start with a small amount and gradually increase the serving size as needed. For example, Vesper Mushroom's Lion's Mane Extract suggests a standard serving size of 1-2 droppers, 1-2 times a day. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best serving size for your specific needs.
Anecdotaly, we have come to learn that useing an extract once in the morning and once in the evening might cause enhanced absorption.
Personalized Amount Considerations
Individual factors such as age, weight, overall health status, and the desired impact of the mushroom extract should also be taken into account when determining the appropriate amount. Your doctor is the best person to answer questions related to how much you should use of a functional mushroom extract for your personal situation.
Vesper Mushroom's range of extracts, including the Gray Matter Concentrate or the Gold Metal Extract Blend, offers versatile options to suit various preferences and needs.
