FAQ
When it comes to functional mushrooms, health-conscious consumers often have a lot of questions
We are here to help answer some of the most common ones:
Functional mushrooms have been used for centuries to support health and wellness. Functional mushroom possess certain properties that help maintain a good state of health by supporting immune function, enhancing mental clarity and promoting overall well-being. They are completely legal and non-psychedelic. Unlike so-called “magic mushrooms” that contain mind-altering compounds like psilocybin. Functional mushrooms, such as the ones used at SIENAMI, like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga, and Cordyceps do not cause any hallucinogenic effects.
No, these mushrooms are not psychedelic.
SIENAMI products contain zero psychedelic and zero psychoactive compounds. Our
mushrooms are used strictly for their wellness benefits.
Mushrooms have been scientifically proven to aid in overall wellness, both physically and cognitively. They contain naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans, triterpenes and antioxidants, that have been widely studied for their role in supporting overall wellbeing.
Each of our SIENAMI supplements has their own corresponding benefits to support your daily wellbeing naturally.
SIENAMI mushrooms can be consumed in several forms. Our high-quality double extracts are designed for efficient absorption, so they can be taken with or without food.
We have three different options to best fit your lifestyle.
Double Extracted Powders:
They can be easily mixed into your favorite beverages like smoothies, coffee and tea or foods of your choosing like soups or broths. The powder can also be used as a seasoning.
Double Extracted Capsules:
They are quick and convenient for travel and precision dosing.
Double Extracted Tinctures:
They are fast-absorbing liquid drops, ideal for concentrated use. They can be taken orally by using the dropper or mixed into beverages.
Mushroom powder is a finely milled powder made from dehydrated mushrooms. While it
contains the entire mushroom, your body may struggle to absorb the key active
compounds because many of them are locked inside tough chitin walls. Chitin
walls keep the effective compounds locked inside, preventing them from entering
your system.
Extracts are concentrated forms of beneficial compounds—like beta-glucans, triterpenes,
and antioxidants. Extracts are carefully drawn out using hot water, alcohol or
both. This process allows the benefits of the mushroom to easily absorb into
your system.
Double Extraction Technology, used by SIENAMI, is advanced method for unlocking the full potency of medicinal mushrooms. We combine hot water extraction and ultrasonic assisted alcohol extraction techniques to draw the maximum potency of bioactive compounds from mushrooms.
Our Double extraction helps to break down the tough chitin walls of mushrooms, making all the active compounds more accessible and bioavailable to the body. The result is a highly concentrated, maximum potency extract that your body can actually absorb and benefit from—far beyond what simple powders or tinctures can offer.
Yes, when used as directed, functional mushrooms are considered safe for daily use. SIENAMI mushroom products are well-tolerated by the majority of people. Side effects are rare but may include mild stomach upset when taken in high doses. If you're new to functional mushrooms, we recommend starting with a low dose and observing how your body responds and adapting to your needs.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, a medical condition, or are taking prescription medications—especially those affecting blood sugar, blood pressure or blood clotting—we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before using Sienami products.

Powder: 1 teaspoon per day

Yes, every batch is lab-tested to ensure the highest standards, and to verify premium quality and purity.
We use 100% fruiting bodies, never mycelium on grain or unnecessary fillers.
For most people, noticeable effects build up gradually over 2 to 4 weeks with consistent use. Some people might feel a difference within days, but think of them as long-term wellness allies rather than quick fixes.
Absolutely. Many people combine mushrooms for synergistic effects. For example, we recommend taking Lion's Mane in the morning for a boost of energy and taking Reishi in the evening for a sense of calm. Please read our guides to help you choose the right mushroom for you and your wellness goals.
