Frequently Asked Questions

The general guideline is for healthy adults to be consuming 250mg-500mg per day. Our capsules were designed for adults to take 1-2 daily, matching that range by providing 250-500mg.
Children can also take it and you can lower the dose to 250mg by giving them one per day.
If you need to lower the dose further, you can pierce the capsule and consume the exact amount you wish. You can mix it in with drinks or food.

Our algae is grown in purified water which ensures that it is free from toxins found in the ocean such as pesticides, mercury and other heavy metals.

No, our algae is not genetically modified and production adheres to regulations of non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) practices.

The starch is used for the coating of the softgel to prevent any moisture getting in and spoiling it. In the past, gelatin was used for this. But gelatin comes from the bones, tendons and ligaments of animals. So this is definitely unsuitable for vegetarian/vegan diets and also raises moral question marks for people.

'Modified' starch simply means that something has been done to the raw starch to make it more appropriate for its purpose. Even something as simple as roasting it technically makes it modified.
It's a legal requirement to declare it is 'modified'. However, despite the similar wording it does not mean genetically modified in any way.

We have carefully designed our packaging with sustainability at its heart. We use lightweight pouches which greatly reduces the use of plastics and energy during transportation. Plus, we now have a reusable travel tin to store your capsules in. This can be washed and reused continuously which combats single-use packaging.

We use a tiny amount of Carrageenan as part of the capsule. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supports it as a safe ingredient. And the World Health Organisation (WHO) even recognises Carrageenan as being safe for infant formula. Ours is derived from red seaweed and is 100% plant-based.

The standard dose is two capsules per day. Because there are ten ingredients, they simply don't fit into one reasonably-sized capsule. That's why it's been designed to be two per day. We do not recommend lowering the dose as you may not experience the positive benefits properly. Equally, we don't recommend increasing the recommended daily dose.

Take them 30-60 minutes before bedtime as part of a relaxing bedtime routine.

As this is a longer-term solution using natural ingredients, the benefits will accumulate over time. We recommending taking the capsules daily for at least 30 days. It's important to note that these are not prescription drugs (or magical pills) that will provide a miracle cure after a single night. Also, each person is different. Some start to see benefits in under a week, others need at least 30 days before noticing a change.

Remember that drugs like Zolpidem and Ambien are prescription sleeping pills which act as sedatives. These are strong drugs that work differently. Our capsules are designed to provide benefits over the long term meaning they won't behave in the same way as these drugs. We believe this is a good thing. If you have been prescribed any medication, please consult with your GP or medical professional first.

It's safe for people aged 18 and over to take daily. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and individuals with known medical conditions should consult with their doctor first.

It's important to prevent moisture in the air from getting into your Mushroom Coffee. It's naturally designed to react sensitively to water to mix well into a smooth drink. Unfortunately, this sensitivity also means that if moisture gets into your tube, then it will start to react and clump together.

This won't be a problem if you drink it regularly. But if you intend to open it and then leave it for long periods of time, then we'd recommend keeping it in a cupboard.
