why this bundle

  • three concentrated extracts

    cordyceps 10:1, lion's mane 8:1 and reishi 16:1

  • 100% fruiting body

    all the mushroom itself, no mycelium or grain

  • three Health Canada NPNs

    NPN 80118456, NPN 80108521 and NPN 80108421

  • organic, non-GMO, vegan

    hypromellose capsules, nothing else added

in short

  • what it is

    Cordyceps 10:1, lion's mane 8:1 and reishi 16:1: three concentrated dual extracts, 3,000 mg, 2,800 mg and 6,000 mg dried-mushroom equivalents per capsule.

  • how it fits a day

    Cordyceps and lion's mane with breakfast, reishi with the evening meal. Same times each day, sixty days a set.

  • where it comes from

    Three mushrooms, three traditions: the orange cordyceps of the high meadows, the hardwood lion's mane, the lingzhi reishi, each sourced as fruiting body alone.

why Purana

Purana bottles resting on the mossy trunk of a tree in a forest

Every Purana label says the same few things, and each one was a decision. Here is what they mean.

  • the mushroom, not the mycelium

    100% fruiting body, sourced to our own standards for potency and purity. The grain a mushroom is grown on never makes it into a Purana capsule.

  • concentrated, then named

    our 8:1, 10:1 and 16:1 dual extracts name their compounds, and every input batch is tested for potency and purity.

  • a Health Canada NPN for every formula

    each product was reviewed by Health Canada, formula, manufacturing and claims, and issued its own Natural Product Number, printed on the label and linked on this page.

  • Canadian, and plain about it

    organic, non-GMO and vegan, made in a GMP-certified facility for a Vancouver company. Inputs are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and microbes. Nothing added that a label would have to explain.

what to expect

Mushroom extracts work through slow biology. The habit is the product. Here is the shape of the first two months.

  1. day 1

    start with food

    Cordyceps and lion's mane with breakfast, reishi with the evening meal. Nothing to feel yet, and that is normal: the first days are about the habit, not a sensation.

  2. week 2

    the habit holds

    Same time, same meal. By now the routine is part of the meals rather than a decision. Keep going.

  3. day 30

    the research window opens

    Most human trials of these mushrooms run four to twelve weeks of daily use. Notice how your days are going.

  4. day 60

    one bottle, your own evidence

    A full set is sixty days of daily use. Decide on that, not on a week. If it has earned its place, reorder or subscribe.

Effects are built, not switched on. This is guidance on consistency, not a promise of results.

the research

  • human trial

    twelve weeks, healthy adults 50 to 75

    In a twelve-week pilot trial, Cs-4, a Cordyceps sinensis preparation, raised metabolic and ventilatory thresholds in healthy adults aged 50 to 75. Our capsules are Cordyceps militaris.

read the label Every bottle in this bundle carries its own NPN and a dried-mushroom equivalent on its label: the ratio (10:1, 8:1, 16:1) is how many kilograms of fruiting body went into a kilogram of extract. Short answers below.

short answers

What is included and how long does it last?

One bottle each of cordyceps 10:1, lion's mane 8:1 and reishi 16:1, 60 capsules each. At one capsule of each a day, all three last 60 days.

How do I take them together?

One capsule of each daily, with food. Many people take cordyceps and lion's mane in the morning and reishi in the evening.

Do all three have Health Canada NPNs?

Yes. Cordyceps 10:1 is NPN 80118456, lion's mane 8:1 is NPN 80108521 and reishi 16:1 is NPN 80108421. The NPN wording is on each product page.

Can I take them with medications?
