1. The Raw Ritual (Dried Cordyceps)
The Method: Steep 4-6 strands in 200ml of boiling hot water for 5–7 minutes.
The Pro-Tip: Don't throw the mushrooms away after drinking the tea! Eat them to ensure you get 100% of the fiber and remaining nutrients.
When: Best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.
2. The High-Performance Protocol (Capsules)
The Method: Take 1–2 capsules daily with a glass of water.
The Pro-Tip: Consistency is key with capsules. Take them at the same time every day to maintain steady levels of cordycepin in your system.
When: 30 minutes before a workout or your most demanding work block.
3. The Cognitive Drop (Lion’s Mane Tincture)
The Method: 1 full dropper (approx. 1ml).
The Pro-Tip: While you can take it straight under the tongue (sublingually) for fastest absorption, it pairs beautifully with your morning Coffee or Matcha to eliminate the "caffeine jitters.
"When: Whenever you need to enter "Flow State."
4. The Evening Downshift (Ganoderma/Reishi Tincture)

5. The Metabolic Surge (Cordyceps Tincture)
