Although our chocolate is free of any nuts, dairy, or soy, it is manufactured in a facility that processes milk, soy, tree nuts, and ground nuts. For this reason, if you have a mushroom, coconut, or other nut allergy, we do not recommend eating our chocolate.

We recommend storing your chocolate in an air-tight container in a cool and dry place. All of our chocolates are vegan and are made with shelf stable ingredients that do not easily spoil. However, if you bought several bars and have had them for a long time, we recommend visually inspecting each bar before eating. If the bars look dull or have a cloudy coating on them, this means that they have come out of temper due to age, temperature, and humidity variations. It's still safe to eat but it may not be as enjoyable because of the changes in texture. But, don't worry, you can still make incredibly delicious hot chocolate with it just by adding hot water or milk!

When properly stored, our chocolates have a shelf life of about 24 months or longer. If you have had the chocolate for a long time, make sure to visually inspect each bar before eating. You can also make incredibly delicious hot chocolate with it just by adding hot water or milk!

Functional mushroom chocolate bars combine the health benefits of functional mushrooms, such as lion’s mane, turkey tail, and cordyceps, with the delicious and indulgent taste of dark chocolate, boasting 500mg of functional mushrooms (100% fruiting body extract) per serving with no mushroom taste!. These chocolate bars are a convenient and enjoyable way to incorporate these beneficial mushrooms into your daily routine.

While effects may vary, generally lion's mane mushrooms are known for their neuroprotective effects and may improve brain function and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Turkey tail mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect against cell damage and support the immune system, and Cordyceps mushrooms are believed to improve physical performance by enhancing oxygen uptake and, in turn, increasing endurance and reducing fatigue. All of these unique benefits are blended together in a delicious and healthy snack that can help support your overall health and wellness. 

However, before adding them to your routine, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure they align with your goals and lifestyle.
