Unlocking the Full Power of Mushrooms: The Magic of Triple Extraction

Unlocking the Full Power of Mushrooms: The Magic of Triple Extraction

At Neurogenic Apothecary, we believe that nature holds everything we need to heal, restore, and thrive—when it’s prepared with care. That’s why we go beyond standard methods and use a triple-extraction process for all our mushroom tinctures. This isn’t just a manufacturing step—it’s a reflection of our deeper mission: to deliver the most bioavailable, potent, and effective wellness support from the inside out.

Let’s explore what triple extraction is, why it matters, and how it sets our formulas apart.

 

What Is Triple Extraction?

Functional mushrooms are rich in beneficial compounds—beta-glucans, triterpenoids, polyphenols, and more—but they’re not all easily absorbed by the body. These nutrients are locked inside chitin, the tough cell walls of fungi. That’s where extraction comes in.

Our triple-extraction method uses three distinct processes to unlock the full therapeutic spectrum of each mushroom:

1. Fermentation

Fermentation is the foundational step. It helps break down chitin and pre-digest the mushroom’s cell structure, making bioactive compounds more available for absorption. This ancient technique not only enhances efficacy but also supports gut-friendly integration of the final product.

2. Hot Water Extraction

Next, we apply a traditional decoction process—boiling the mushrooms to draw out water-soluble compounds like beta-glucans and polysaccharides, which are known for their immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects.

3. Alcohol Extraction

Finally, we perform a long-duration alcohol extraction to isolate fat-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds such as triterpenoids, sterols, and other adaptogenic constituents that support stress resilience, hormonal balance, and cellular regeneration.

Together, these three stages ensure that the finished tincture contains the widest and most potent range of beneficial compounds possible—unlike many mushroom products that use only one method or cut corners with mycelium-based shortcuts.

 

Why Triple Extraction Matters

Triple extraction isn’t a trendy buzzword. It’s a thoughtfully designed, tradition-honoring method that allows us to capture a wide spectrum of beneficial compounds from the mushroom—each with its own unique supportive qualities.

  • Higher Potency
    Each step pulls out specific compounds that single extractions may miss. The result? A richer, more complete tincture with a broader range of beneficial properties.
  • Improved Bioavailability
    Fermentation and triple extraction help break down complex fungal structures, allowing the body to better absorb and utilize the compounds.
  • Full-Spectrum Support
    Unlike supplements that focus on one isolated compound, our tinctures reflect the full character of the mushroom—offering support that’s as close to nature as possible.

 

Our Commitment to Purity and Quality

At Neurogenic Apothecary, we take pride in crafting mushroom tinctures that reflect the highest standards of purity, potency, and integrity. Our triple-extraction process is backed by thoughtful sourcing and meticulous preparation.

  • Organically Grown Mushrooms
    We use mushrooms that are organically cultivated—grown without pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemicals—to ensure clean, potent extracts you can trust.
  • Mycelium and Fruiting Bodies
    Our formulas are made using both the mycelium and the fruiting body, allowing us to harness the complete range of beneficial compounds each part of the mushroom offers. This creates a well-rounded, full-spectrum extract that honors the whole organism.
  • Crafted with Purpose
    Every step in our process reflects a deep respect for both ancestral herbal traditions and the evolving understanding of modern wellness. We don’t rush or cut corners—our focus is on creating tinctures that support true vitality.

 

Why It Makes a Difference for You

Many mushroom products on the market contain only partial extracts, unverified potencies, or mycelium fillers that offer little benefit. At Neurogenic Apothecary, we believe you deserve better.

When you take our Flow, Zing, or Glow tinctures, you’re getting a concentrated formula that honors the full complexity of the mushroom—delivered in a bioavailable, easy-to-use format. Whether you're supporting cognitive clarity, energy, skin vitality, or whole-body resilience, our triple-extracted formulas are designed to help you thrive.
