The problem

Up to % of mushroom supplements don’t contain what they claim.1

Did not contain what the label claimedMatched the label

The answer

What's on the label... is in the bottle

Measured actives

Each batch is assayed for its active compounds by an independent laboratory, and the result is published.

See the latest lab results →Read the full standard
Contaminant panels

Heavy metals, pesticides, microbials and solvents are screened before a batch is released.

See the panels →
Species authenticated

Purity-IQ certifies that the species in the jar is the species on the label. We were the first mushroom supplement in Europe to hold it.

How we compare →
Certified organic, nothing added

Soil Association certification covers the mushroom substrate and the surrounding environment, not only the mushrooms. No fillers, bulking agents or grain.

Our certification →
Proper doses

Each serving carries the amount used in the research, and the label says exactly how much.

See the amounts →
Properly extracted

Raw mushroom keeps its compounds locked inside cell walls we can’t digest. Each species is extracted in hot water, with alcohol added where its compounds need it.

How it’s made →

Standard 01

Measured actives, every batch

What we measure

The marker compounds for each species — hericenones in Lion’s Mane, beta-glucans across the range — alongside four contaminant panels.

How

An independent laboratory tests a sample from every batch before it is released, and the certificate is published.

Why it matters

A species name on a label is not a dose. Animate batch 26060025 measured 2.985% hericenones, against a 1% category standard.

I’ve tried various mushroom products on the market and this is by far the best. Potent, well sourced, beautifully packaged.
