A common question people have when they first start supplementing with functional mushrooms is how much they should take? What is the proper dosage for functional mushrooms, and does it vary from person to person? In this blog post we are going to answer that question, and dive into proper dosages for specific functional mushrooms.
Dosages Across Different Functional Mushrooms
Generally, dosages for each functional mushroom are around 1g, which is the perfect starting point to experience their full potential. At this dose, you can feel the benefits without overwhelming your system, allowing the mushrooms to support cognitive, immune, and overall wellness effectively. For those seeking even more pronounced effects, gradually increasing the dose within safe limits can unlock enhanced benefits, such as boosted energy, mental clarity, and resilience.
Proper Dosage
The proper dosage for functional mushrooms can vary depending on the type of mushroom, the form it’s taken in (powder, capsule, tincture, etc.), and individual health goals. However, many experts agree that 500mg 1000mg (.5g to 1g) is a good starting point for most users. At Organic Mushrooms, our recommended serving sizes for select mushrooms are:
