Frequently Asked Questions
Dr Noel is here to answer all you need to know about medicinal mushrooms. Below are some commonly asked questions, to help make the best choice for you.
1. What makes Dr Noel’s Mushroom Powders different from other mushroom supplements?
Dr Noel’s Mushroom Powders use only 100% fruiting body extracts, ensuring the highest concentration of beneficial compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes. We never use fillers, grains, or mycelium, which dilute potency.
2. What is the difference between an extract and a non-extract mushroom powder?
Extracts are more concentrated and bioavailable than non-extract powders. Our extraction process breaks down chitin, the tough cell walls of mushrooms, making the active compounds easier for your body to absorb. Non-extract powders are whole-ground mushrooms but may be harder to digest and less effective.
3. What extraction method do you use?
We use a dual extraction process (hot water and alcohol extraction) to ensure maximum potency. Water extraction releases beta-glucans (immune support), while alcohol extraction releases triterpenes and other adaptogenic compounds.
4. Why do you only use the fruiting body and not mycelium?
The fruiting body is where the highest concentration of beneficial compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes are found. Mycelium-based supplements often contain grain or filler, reducing potency. We guarantee 100% fruiting body extracts for maximum effectiveness.
5. Are your mushroom powders organic?
Yes, our mushrooms are sourced from organic farms that follow strict quality control processes. Every batch is lab-tested for purity, ensuring no heavy metals, pesticides, or contaminants.
6. How should I take Dr Noel’s Mushroom Powders?
Simply mix 1-2 teaspoons daily into your coffee, tea, smoothie, or food. Our powders dissolve easily and have a mild, earthy taste. For best results, take consistently over time.
7. How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed within 24 hours and shipped via Australia Post. Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days, and express shipping takes 1-2 business days within Australia. International shipping times vary by location.
8. Are your mushroom powders tested for quality and purity?
Yes! Every batch is third-party lab-tested for beta-glucan content, heavy metals, and contaminants to ensure safety and potency.
9. Can I take multiple mushroom powders together?
Absolutely. Many people stack different mushrooms for enhanced benefits. For example, Lion’s Mane for brain health, Reishi for stress relief, and Cordyceps for energy.
10. Are your products vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, all of our mushroom powders are 100% vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, with no additives, fillers, or artificial ingredients.
