What are functional mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms, also known as medicinal mushrooms, include varieties such as Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Chaga. They have been used in Asian medicine for centuries for health benefits, and are now popular in Western wellness for supporting immunity, energy, focus, cognitive performance, sleep, and recovery.

How are functional mushrooms extracted?

Mushrooms are dried, ground into powder, and then extracted using hot water or alcohol. Fourfive uses a dual-extraction process to capture beta-glucans (from water) and triterpenes (from alcohol), resulting in highly concentrated 10:1 ratio mushroom extracts that are more potent than non-extracted powders.

How should I use functional mushrooms?

Since raw mushrooms are hard to digest, fourfive provides dual-extracted mushroom powder in capsule form, ensuring high potency and easy absorption. While teas and powders exist, they are usually non-extracted and contain far fewer beneficial compounds.

What mushroom supplements should I take?

fourfive offers a range tailored to different needs: Lion’s Mane: Energy & Focus for concentration and brain function, Reishi: Bedtime Blend for relaxation and sleep support, and Multi Mushroom: Ultimate Blend for a convenient all-in-one health supplement.

Can I use more than one mushroom supplement a day?

Yes, you can combine mushroom supplements depending on your goals. The AM+PM Bundle pairs Lion’s Mane for daytime focus with Reishi for evening relaxation. Always follow recommended dosages and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

What is the best time of day to take mushroom supplements?

Lion’s Mane is best taken in the morning to support energy, focus, and performance. Reishi is better suited to evenings as it encourages relaxation, sleep, and recovery.

Can you mix CBD and mushrooms?

Yes, fourfive mushroom supplements can be combined with CBD products. Many people find this pairing enhances balance, recovery, and wellbeing. Consult a healthcare professional before adding new supplements if you have health conditions or take medications.

Are functional mushrooms psychoactive?

No, functional mushrooms are not psychoactive and do not cause hallucinations. They are safe for most people when taken responsibly, though it’s always wise to seek professional guidance if you have existing health conditions.

your questions, answered

Backed by in-house nutrition and technical experts who know exactly what goes into every product.

What is the AM + PM Duo?

The AM + PM Duo combines Lion’s Mane Mushroom Energy & Focus Capsules for the day with Reishi Mushroom Bedtime Blend for the evening. It is designed to support mental clarity and energy when you need to perform, and calm and recovery when it’s time to rest.

It creates a simple day to night routine built around how your body actually works.

What does the Lion's Mane capsule support?

The Lion’s Mane capsule is designed for daytime focus and steady energy. It contains 4000 mg of Lion’s Mane extract along with Bacopa Monnieri, Guarana, Maca Root, and B vitamins.

Lion’s Mane supports mental clarity.
Bacopa supports memory and cognitive function.
Guarana and Maca support sustained energy.
B vitamins support normal energy metabolism and help reduce tiredness.

What does the Reishi Mushroom capsule support?

The Reishi Bedtime Blend is designed to help you wind down in the evening. It includes 4000 mg of Reishi extract alongside Ashwagandha, Magnesium, L-Tryptophan, Lemon Balm, and Passion Flower.

Reishi and Ashwagandha support calm and stress balance.
Magnesium supports normal nervous system function and relaxation.
L-Tryptophan and calming botanicals help promote a smoother transition into sleep.

Why take them together?

Energy and recovery work together. Strong days rely on strong nights.

The AM capsule helps you feel focused and capable during work or training.
The PM capsule helps you switch off properly so you recover and wake up ready to go again.

Taken together, they support a full 24 hour cycle rather than just one part of it.

Will the AM capsule affect my sleep?

When taken earlier in the day, it should not interfere with sleep. It supports focus and steady energy rather than acting like a high stimulant pre workout.

Will the PM capsule make me groggy the next day?

No. The Reishi blend supports natural relaxation rather than forcing sleep. Most people feel calmer in the evening without feeling heavy the next morning.

When should I take the AM + PM Duo?

Take the Lion’s Mane capsule in the morning or early in the day.
Take the Reishi capsule in the evening, ideally about an hour before bed.

Consistency helps you get the most from both.
