Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nordic organic mushroom are compare?
We start with organically grown or wild mushrooms, not grown on rice or cellulose. With superior quality raw products, the ultrasound extraction method is employed to break down the chitin walls of mushrooms, making them bioavailable. From here, we test the quality of each batch before bottling.
Where are mushrooms from?
We use wild-picked chaga from northern Finland and Turkey tail grown organically in Finland and Northern Europe. All our products are EU and USDA organic. We don’t source Chinese raw material ever.
Tincture or capsule?
Matter of preference. Capsules provide slightly more bioactive compounds, but tinctures can be absorbed very well. Powdered mushrooms are not very tasty, thus we prefer tinctures or capsules.
Mushroom powders?
Powder without extraction has extremely poor bioavailability. Always seek only extracted products. Especially, Chaga is notoriously dense and hard to extract. We believe ultrasound is the only correct way to achieve the functional benefits of mushrooms.
What are the benefits?
Lion's mane is traditionally used for mood, focus, and memory Chaga has been used for centuries for immune, gut health, and skin benefits.
Generally, beta-glucans are thought to benefit mainly immune and inflammatory pathways. Mushroom-specific triterpenoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides contribute to each species' unique health properties.
How often to use?
Mushrooms are generally good for daily use. We recommend a break every couple months for a week as our products are very potent. Especially chaga has been traditionally used cyclically.
How to store?
Our extracts have a small amount of alcohol mixed to preserve and allow storing at room temperature.
Alcohol content is equal to one ripe banana per serving.
UV light-protected glass packaging protects the integrity.

Ultrasound extract method advantages, AI summary
1. Potency and Yield (Higher Concentration of Bioactive Compounds)
• Cell Wall Disruption: Mushroom cell walls are made of chitin, which is very tough and restricts the release of beneficial compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes. Ultrasonic cavitation (the rapid formation and collapse of tiny bubbles) creates intense mechanical forces that effectively disrupt these cell walls, leading to a much more complete release of intracellular compounds into the solvent (water, alcohol, or a mix).
• Higher Yields: Multiple studies indicate that UAE significantly increases the extraction yield of key bioactive compounds (like polysaccharides, beta-glucans, triterpenoids, and antioxidants) compared to hot water extraction (HWE) or traditional maceration. In some cases, the extract profile shows a significantly higher concentration of desired compounds.
• Preservation of Quality: Since UAE is a non-thermal or low-temperature process, it can reduce the thermal degradation of heat-sensitive compounds that might be damaged during prolonged high-heat traditional hot water extraction.
• Enhanced Activity: Research has shown that some ultrasonically extracted compounds, like beta-glucans, can exhibit higher antioxidant activity and better structural properties (like molecular weight and branching) compared to those produced by conventional methods, which contributes to higher overall "potency."
2. Bioavailability
• Compound Release: The primary advantage for bioavailability comes from the efficient release of compounds from the tough chitin matrix. Many of these compounds would otherwise remain locked within the mushroom material and pass through the human digestive system largely "untapped." UAE essentially "unlocks" them.
• Fuller Spectrum: By using water or water/ethanol mixtures under ultrasonic assistance, it's often possible to achieve a more "full-spectrum" extract, isolating both water-soluble components (like beta-glucans) and non-water-soluble or semi-soluble components (like triterpenes) efficiently, which can contribute to overall therapeutic benefit.
"The clean, natural taste of this birch water is unbeatable. It’s like having a mini escape to a Finnish forest in every sip."
