3 Mushrooms Trusted by Elite Athletes, Meditating Monks & Ancient Emperors(And Why 150,000+ People Have Stopped Swallowing Them)
One made headlines when a record-breaking track team credited it. One was prized by monks for focus. And one was treasured by emperors for calm.
Today, researchers are studying all three. And the people getting the most from these mushrooms have learned that how they're taken makes all the difference.
There's a fungus that grows out of caterpillars high in the Himalayas.
In 1993, a team of Chinese runners broke world records that stood for decades. Their coach gave this fungus the credit.
People still argue about whether it earned that credit. Either way, the story made the fungus famous, so researchers started testing it.
Its name is Cordyceps. And it's one of three.
1 - The Energy One: Cordyceps
Climbers in the Himalayas have leaned on it for generations, up where the air is thin.
Now there's research. In a placebo-controlled trial, adults who took Cordyceps for 12 weeks improved measures of their exercise capacity.¹
2 - The Focus One: Lion's Mane
Buddhist monks prized Lion’s Mane for centuries to sharpen focus during meditation. This one doesn't touch your lungs or legs. It works on your brain.
Lion's Mane contains compounds linked to the wiring behind focus and memory. In a placebo-controlled study, healthy young adults were faster on a focus test after a single dose.²
3 - The Calm One: Reishi
Most stimulants leave you wired and jittery. Reishi does the opposite.
Ancient Chinese emperors treasured it so highly it was called the mushroom of immortality. For thousands of years, it's been used to stay calm and steady when the pressure’s on.
Fast forward to today, and in a placebo-controlled trial, a Reishi extract was shown to ease stress-related fatigue.³
ENERGY. FOCUS. CALM.
CORDYCEPSLION'S MANEREISHI
Functional mushrooms. Not the kind that get you high.
Together, they can keep you energized, focused, and calm all day.
So why do so many people take mushrooms and feel nothing?
Why You Didn’t Feel Your Mushroom Capsule
Maybe you've tried these before. You bought the capsules. You swallowed one every morning like you were told.
You felt nothing, so you decided it was junk.
It isn't junk. The problem is that you swallowed it.
Anything you swallow has to get past stomach acid first. Then your liver filters what's left before it reaches your blood.⁴ Capsule, gummy, powder, or mushroom coffee all go through the same digestion process.
Good stuff. Wrong door.
There's a Faster Way In
The inside of your cheek is thin and packed with blood vessels. Put something in your cheek and it can pass straight into your blood. This is called buccal absorption.
It skips your stomach. It skips your liver's first pass.⁴ It's the same route some fast-acting medicines use.
So what if you took all three mushrooms using buccal absorption?

Built Different From the Beginning
Tal and DJ watched friends and family lean on energy drinks and nicotine pouches just to get through the day. They wanted a better option and couldn't find one.
So they worked with formulation scientists and built one: a pouch made for your cheek, not your stomach.
"What if the mushroom was never the problem? What if the problem was simply how most of us were trying to consume it?" - Tal & DJ, Co-Founders of Flow
