Why Take ‘Give Me 5’ as a Daily Supplement?

Mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to promote health and wellness. Modern research has shown that they contain bioactive compounds that can support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve cognitive function. Incorporating a double extraction mushroom tincture containing chaga mushroom, reishi mushroom, turkey tail mushroom, cordyceps mushroom, and lion's mane mushroom into your daily regimen can provide numerous benefits for your overall health.

• Chaga mushroom is a rich source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. It also contains beta-glucans, polysaccharides that can stimulate the immune system and help to fight infections. Additionally, chaga has been shown to reduce inflammation, which can help to alleviate symptoms of arthritis, asthma, and other inflammatory conditions.
• Reishi mushroom is another powerful antioxidant, and it has been shown to have immune-boosting properties. It can also help to regulate blood sugar levels and improve liver function. Studies have also suggested that reishi may have anti-tumor properties and could be beneficial in the treatment of cancer.
• Turkey tail mushroom is known for its immune-boosting properties and has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of illnesses. It contains polysaccharides that can stimulate the immune system and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of viral infections such as HPV and hepatitis C.
• Cordyceps mushroom is an adaptogen, which means it can help the body to adapt to stress and improve energy levels. It has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial in the treatment of asthma and other inflammatory conditions. Additionally, cordyceps has been shown to improve athletic performance and increase endurance.
• Lion's mane mushroom is known for its cognitive benefits and has been shown to improve memory and concentration. It contains compounds called erinacines, which can stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that is essential for the growth and survival of neurons in the brain. Lion's mane may also have anti-inflammatory properties and could be beneficial in the treatment of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

By combining these five powerful mushrooms into a double extraction tincture, you can benefit from their synergistic effects, which is perhaps better than using them in isolation. Double extraction involves using both water and alcohol to extract the bioactive compounds from the mushrooms, ensuring that the tincture contains a wide range of beneficial compounds. This makes it a convenient and effective way to incorporate these mushrooms into your daily regimen. From immune-boosting properties to cognitive benefits, Give Me 5 double extraction tincture or elixir may help to support your overall health and wellness. As with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting to take a mushroom tincture, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medication.

HOW IT'S MADE: I foraged the wildly grown chaga and turkey tail mushrooms in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and I grew the lions mane and reishi oganically indoors. I cleansed them in filtered water and dried them thoroughly. I buy the cordyceps already grown, cleaned, and dried from a third party, USDA certified organic. I soak the dried mushrooms in their own jars in 100 proof vodka for 8-10 weeks. After that time has passed, I strain each of them three times and set the alcohol tinctures aside. I use fresh dried mushrooms for the water extractions. I boil them in filtered water until the water volumes equal that of the tinctures. After I strain them three times, I combine the mushroom specific alcohol tinctures and water decoctions to make the final tinctures 25% alcohol by volume. I measure five equal parts of all of my tinctures and combine them to create Give Me Five Double Extract Mushroom Tincture. I add honey from my backyard bees to the tincture in order to create an elixir.
