Not all adaptogens have been studied to be deemed safe or unsafe for the consumption of children.

Adaptogens
Adaptogens are a class of herbs, mushrooms and minerals that help protect the body from stress-induced dysfunction. Adaptogens must meet certain criteria, including (but not limited to): relatively non-toxic, work through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary/adrenal axis) and SAS (sympathoadrenal system), and regulate organs and system function. These intelligent compounds work on a cellular level, having the ability to provide resilience and revitalization to the body by improving integrity and increasing our cells’ ability to respond to stress. Read our blog for a deeper breakdown understanding.
I mean, there isn’t an exact date of arrival however as early as 3000 BCE, these herbs and roots have been used for healing and traditional medical systems in the beginnings of Ayuverda in India and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in China. Visit our blog to learn more about it’s history.

Mushroom supplements consist of one or more of the following: mycelium on grain, pure mycelium, or mushroom fruiting bodies. Studies show the stark differences in compounds present in mycelium versus mushrooms— showing that mushrooms are much higher in potency and chemical variety than mycelium or mycelium on grain. That is why at Oasis, we stick to only using the actual mushroom fruiting body. Mycelium-only end products often contain grain powder or starch, which creates watered down and less potent product.
When we say 100% fruiting bodies, we mean just that! Mushroom supplements usually consist of mycelium on grain, mushrooms, or a combination of the two. At Oasis, we stick to only using mushrooms, the fruiting body.
You can take adaptogens as herbal supplements in capsule form, added to smoothies as powders, or concocted into teas or soups.
Define “too many”. “Safe" is literally written into the definition for adaptogen. "[To be considered an adaptogen], it must be considered generally safe, non-toxic, and non-habit forming, it must have a nonspecific effect on the body, and it must help normalize systems and bring balance to the body.” You can have too much of anything. It would be very tough to binge on 'a bag of adaptogens' due to their bitter flavor alone—they're not potato chips.
You can certainly combine adaptogens and combining them can even enhance their effectiveness. To start combining adaptogens, research the ones that you feel would have the most impact for you and then use them for a few weeks, noting any changes in how you feel. Thankfully we did the work for you creating unique blends.
No. Taking more doesn’t make adaptogens more potent. Adpatogens work by adapting to your body and assisting with natural bodily processes over time.We usually see noticeable results after taking consecutively for two weeks.
Adaptogens aren't like some anti-anxiety medications. You won't take them and immediately notice less stress. Adaptogens take a while to build up and work on the body, so take them for at least two to three weeks before thinking too much about the effect.
What kind of sick? Always contact your family doctor especially if you’re taking prescription medication. By the way, ginger IS an adaptogen; ginger-lemon-tea is a fantastic sickness go away remedy.
Adaptogenic Mushrooms are non-psycho active ingredients that have been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for years. The ingredients do come from plants but do not have properties that will elicit a "high". Our ingredients are similar to how using turmeric and ginger can be used as a herbal and holistic remedy to reduce inflammation! Yet, turmeric and ginger also do not produce psycho-active effects.
