Shelf 02 — Sleep & Stress

Sleep & Stress

Melatonin-free rest, and an honest way to put the day down.

Sleep is usually the first thing to go, and it rarely goes alone. You're wired at eleven and wrecked at three. The mind won't switch off so much as change subject.

Melatonin gets a lot of people to sleep and leaves them foggy for the first two hours of the next day. Nothing on this shelf contains any. We build rest the way the body does it — calm the system first, then get out of the way.

How to build the evening

  1. Wind down Reishi Tincture A dropper in the last hour of the evening. Reishi is the calm mushroom, and this is the straightest route to it.
  2. Harder weeks CALM Bundle Chaga alongside the Reishi, for stretches where the stress is stacking up rather than passing.
  3. Every day Keep it consistent Reishi builds. Nightly for two to four weeks tells you far more than one hard evening will.

Why these work

Reishi

Used for rest for two thousand years, and the backbone of everything on this shelf. It settles rather than sedates.

No melatonin

Nothing here contains it. Melatonin works well for jet lag and less well as a nightly habit — and it's what leaves people foggy at 8am.

More coming

Sleep is the shelf we're building out next — a caffeine-free evening tea and a melatonin-free capsule are both in development.

Questions

Is there melatonin in any of this?

No, not in any product on this shelf. Melatonin is a hormone; these are mushrooms.

Will I feel groggy in the morning?

That's the specific thing this shelf is built to avoid. No sedating antihistamines and no melatonin hangover.

Can I take this with sleep medication?

Ask your doctor first. Several botanicals act on the same calming pathways as prescription sleep aids.

Tested for safety

We’re careful about everything: potency, purity, microbials, heavy metals and pesticides. We utilize independent labs AND we literally test everything ourselves too, and nothing ships until it passes.

Fruiting bodies only

Dual-extracted and beta-glucan standardized, with a third ultrasonic pass on tinctures. No grain, no mycelium filler. The fruiting body is where the beta-glucans actually live — mycelium grown on grain arrives mostly as starch.

Made in Boulder

Small batch, hyper-local products hand-made in our Boulder kitchen. Every jar is blended, filled and labelled in-house. Our local shop and offices are down the road in Denver, near Cherry Creek Mall. We also have some retail and wholesale partners around town.
