Sharpen Your Pencils: Let’s Do the Mushroom Math

Our products are designed to work synergistically, allowing you to build your own individualized wellness protocol. Unsure of where to start? Take our quiz to find your perfect match!

Let’s take a closer look at whether you can safely combine all three powdered blends in the same day.

Step 1: Comparing Common Mushrooms Across Blends

3 Mushroom Blend (½ tsp)
Cordyceps 2,666 mg + Lion’s Mane 2,666 mg + Turkey Tail 4,000 mg = 9,332 mg

4 Mushroom Blend (½ tsp)
Lion’s Mane 2,000 mg + Maitake 2,000 mg + Reishi 3,750 mg + Shiitake 2,000 mg = 9,750 mg

5 Mushroom Blend (½ tsp)
Cordyceps 2,000 mg + Reishi 3,750 mg + Maitake 2,000 mg + Lion’s Mane 1,000 mg + Tremella 1,000 mg = 9,750 mg

Now let’s combine the common mushrooms:

• Cordyceps: 2,666 + 2,000 = 4,666 mg QCE
• Lion’s Mane: 2,666 + 2,000 + 1,000 = 5,600 mg QCE
• Maitake: 2,000 + 2,000 = 4,000 mg QCE
• Reishi: 3,750 + 3,750 = 7,500 mg QCE

Maximum daily recommendations:

• Cordyceps – 9,000 mg QCE per day
• Lion’s Mane – 12,000 mg QCE per day
• Maitake – 7,000 mg QCE per day
• Reishi – 15,000 mg QCE per day

✅ Result: You can safely take all three powdered blends in the same day while staying within Health Canada’s maximum dosing guidelines.

Step 2: Boosting with Single Mushroom Capsules

Looking for a little extra support? You can safely add some capsules to your blends:

• Cordyceps: Add 1 capsule (4,000 mg QCE) → 8,666 mg total
• Lion’s Mane: Add 1 capsule (4,000 mg QCE) → 9,600 mg total
• Reishi: Add up to 2 capsules (7,500 + 7,500 = 15,000 mg QCE max)
• Turkey Tail: Add up to 3 capsules (4,000 + 18,000 = 22,000 mg total)

⚠️ Maitake exception:
If you’re taking both the 4 and 5 Mushroom Blends (4,000 mg combined), you cannot add a Maitake capsule (3,200 mg QCE) as it would exceed the daily limit.

• Take 1 capsule with either the 4 or 5 Mushroom Blend, or
• Take 2 capsules with the 3 Mushroom Blend (since it doesn’t include Maitake).

Capsules vs. Powders: Which Is Better for You?

It comes down to personal preference and lifestyle.
Capsules offer convenience for on-the-go dosing, while powders are ideal for those who prefer a single delicious blend rather than multiple pills. Both deliver therapeutic doses—just in different forms.

Potency and Purpose: How We Formulate Our Products

Our powdered blends are designed to deliver near-therapeutic doses while keeping serving sizes practical for taste, solubility, and daily use.

Our capsules, on the other hand, are formulated to deliver maximum therapeutic potency—matching Health Canada’s upper limits to align with the levels used in much of the clinical research on functional mushrooms.

Know What’s in Your Mushroom Supplement

Not all mushroom products are created equal. Be cautious of labels that include:

• “Full spectrum”
• “Mycelial biomass”
• “Extracellular compounds”

These terms mean the product includes the substrate (the grain or material on which mushrooms are grown), which adds filler rather than active compounds. While some brands market “full spectrum” as a benefit, you’d need to take significantly more to achieve the same results as a 100% fruiting body product.

Why Choose Eversio Wellness

Eversio Wellness uses 100% fruiting body mushroom extracts only, ensuring you receive the purest, most potent forms available. Every product includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying:

• Active compound levels (e.g., beta-glucans)
• Heavy metal content
• Microbial safety

We share our COAs publicly so you can feel confident that your mushrooms are pure, safe, and effective.

Whether you prefer a single mushroom capsule or a multi-mushroom blend, you can rest assured you’re receiving a therapeutic dose of functional mushrooms designed to support your unique wellness goals.

Use the mushroom math above to guide your stacking strategy, consult your healthcare provider, and enjoy your daily dose of fungi-powered wellness.
