Adaptogens are classified as herbs, minerals and mushrooms that help protect the body from stress. In addition, functional mushrooms not only increase immunity but act as immunoregulators. This means that they calm an overactive immune system when stressed and increase its activity when sluggish.
Adaptogens must meet certain criteria including being relatively non-toxic, working through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary/adrenal axis) and SAS (sympathoadrenal system), and regulating organs and system functions.
These intelligent compounds work on a cellular level, increasing our cells’ ability to respond to stress.
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.
Recommended dose is 1 to 3 in the morning
You can take adaptogens as herbal supplements in capsule form, added to smoothies as powders, or concocted into teas or soups.
We had to settle one currency that made the most sense for us and for that reasons we choose USD. Most of our costs and ingredients are in USD prices and most of our business is done within the USA. Even though the price is in USD, if you're from Canada the cost of the goods would remain the same and be reflected on total product cost.
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.
There are many ways to answer this question, adaptogens are “good” for a variety of things. Overall, they can and are not limited to combat fatigue, enhance mental performance, ease depression and anxiety, and help you thrive rather than just muddle through. They associated with boosting mental clarity for people with many health conditions.
It’s a marathon not a sprint. It’s about consistency with taking your adaptogens where you’ll see, feel and notice the greatest results.
There is no right or wrong, but if you have any digestive issues it’s always best to take it with a meal. Find a time that best suits your schedule so you can be as consistent as possible.
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.
Microdosing with a protocol can be very effective, as one of the main points is that it helps dampen the default mode network (part of which controls your fight or flight). Microdosing works as a medicine which simply put can help you break out of old programs and patterns allowing more space for presence. Through presence there is healing, creativity, and expansion. However it can bring things up that at times could be a little bit more challenging to face.
With the adaptogen, they are specific to allow the body and mind to adjust to stressors in your life. Once the body comes out of a state of stress on a physical level it is easier to make new habits, patterns, and beliefs creating change.
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.
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.

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.

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.
