Will I get high from your products?
No way! Our gummies and powders contain no psychoactive or intoxicating ingredients. Our intention is to make you feel WAY better, so you may feel sensations of happiness, relief and improved wellbeing. Which is high unto itself. But no unexpected trips will happen here (unless you are on a journey to self-improvement).
Are your products lab tested?
All of our ingredients are tested at the source. COAs are provided so we can ensure quality, potency and lack of any heavy metals or adulterants.
How can such a small amount of powder be effective?
It's true, 1/4 teaspoon is all you need for the ultra potent effects of our high ratio formulas. And in some cases, sensitive individuals may only need half of this. How is this possible? We use 8:1 ratio mushroom extracts that provide potency without bulk. And in conjunction with amino acids, botanicals and vitamins, our formulas are powerful at even small amounts.
Is one gummy really enough?
Starting with one gummy is a great baseline to understand how you react to each component of our formulas. We base our potency on both data around suggested effective dosage for each individual ingredient, and also consider how these ingredients work together to provide the best effects. At times, more than one gummy may be required, depending on your body and brain.
Are there any drug interaction concerns with your ingredients?
Our mushrooms and supplements ingredients are completely safe and nontoxic. If you currently take other supplements or medications, we advise speaking with your health care team about interactions. And if you are pregnant, nursing or have any pre-existing conditions, we do recommend consulting a physician before starting any supplement regimen.
Are Microjoy products vegan and gluten free?
Yes! Always. We believe that everyone deserves their little bits of joy, so our gummies are free from wheat, animal products, and other allergens. We also ensure that our sugar (made from beets) is 100% vegan and no animal products are used in its production.
Tell me more about.... *
Cordyceps
Cordyceps are considered a parasitic fungus that, in the wild, infiltrate and grow from insect larvae. We source our Cordyceps from a company that works with artisans who understand how to cultivate this mushroom in a natural environment without harming other life forms, and instead on substrates that are ideal for Cordyceps growth without insects. These mighty mushrooms are best known for their potential ability to energize the brain, boost athletic performance, amplify endurance in both the physical and mental realm, and to oxygenate the body. (And no, they will not create zombies when consumed).
Lion's mane
Lion's Mane is one of the cutest mushrooms, literally a fluffy white cloud of superpowers that look a bit like the mane of a lion. Our favorite benefit from Lion's Mane is its potential ability to improve mental acuity by stimulating the growth of brain cells and protecting the brain. It's even been shown to improve gut health, which is also wonderful for mood support.
reishi
Reishi mushrooms have a plethora of benefits, including immune support, but more importantly, as a hormone-balancing and relaxing fungi. Containing a high concentration and variety of compounds called 'triterpenes' that act as natural sedatives, Reishi synchronizes with the nervous system to promote relaxation and drowsiness. In addition, daily use helps to promote a more centered and balanced outlook over time.
maca root
The Maca plant, also called “Peruvian ginseng,” is actually a cruciferous vegetable related to broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale. We love the powdered Maca root for its even-keeled energy that promotes alertness and improves mood. This gnarly brown root as also been known to improve libido in men and women, further adding to the vitality and life force found in this unassuming botanical.
l-theanine
L-Theanine is a true superstar, most commonly found naturally in green and black tea (and some mushrooms). An amino acid, L-Theanine is one of our favorite building blocks in a daily regimen aimed at mood support, increased focus without jitters, and a reduction in anxiety that can ultimately help with better sleep.
l-tryptophan
Tryptophan is an amino acid needed for the production and maintenance of the body's proteins, muscles, enzymes, and neurotransmitters. It's an essential amino acid, which simply means our bodies cannot produce it, so we get it from the consumption of foods like chicken, turkey, eggs, nuts and soy.
We love Tryptophan for its sedating properties (just like after a large holiday meal). This drowsiness that ensues is two-fold. After we eat tryptophan, the body converts some to 5-HTP and then into the neurotransmitter serotonin, which can promote feelings of happiness and calm. But Tryptophan can also increase our bodies' naturally occurring melatonin.
b12
B12 is an important vitamin that some individuals may have in short supply. Our bodies need B12 to maintain metabolism, produce DNA and red blood cells, keeping the nervous system healthy, and more. Those who are deficient may lag in the energy department, particularly if they are consuming a vegan or vegetarian diet or have digestive issues, so we promote B12 as a great boost for that energy we all need to make it through the day.
B6
Vitamin B6 is essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These chemicals are crucial for emotional regulation.
- GABA's calming effect: GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that calms nervous system activity by blocking certain impulses between nerve cells. By helping to produce more GABA, B6 can have a calming effect.
- Reducing stress: B6 can help protect the brain from the damaging effects of chronic stress by producing calming neurotransmitters and minimizing overexcitation in the brain.
- Homocysteine levels: It may also help lower high levels of the amino acid homocysteine, which have been linked to depression.
5-HTP
5-HTP is an amino acid believed to help increase serotonin levels in the body. This may be beneficial for several conditions, including migraine, depression, insomnia, and more.
While 5-HTP is a compound that your body naturally produces, supplementation can support an increase in serotonin production for those who are not as efficient in producing needed serotonin levels on their own.
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrateis a highly absorbable form of magnesium that helps calm the nervous system, support emotional balance, and promote relaxation as it:
• Supports healthy nervous system function
• Helps regulate neurotransmitters involved in mood balance
• Encourages a steady stress response
• Supports restful sleep
• Easier on digestion compared to other forms of magnesium
OUR MUSHROOM SOURCING
We work with a British Columbia based cGMP certified mushroom provider who has worked with artisans and farmers deep in the mountains of China for over thirty years to develop efficient, safe methods for growing mushrooms.
"Every crop of mushrooms starts with selected strains, cultivars that have been developed over the course of centuries.
Specially selected natural materials such as protein enriched sawdust and hardwood logs are used as the food base for the mushrooms. These natural substrates contain precursors that guarantee the production of important medicinal compounds.
Mushroom crops are produced in greenhouses and shade-houses. A constant flow of fresh air and fresh water from deep wells is provided to the mushrooms. Natural sunlight provides the stimulus for proper mushroom formation.
The mushrooms are harvested by hand and sun-dried or air dried in a dehydrator.
After harvest and before processing, every crop of mushrooms is tested for possible chemical drift or other contamination."
In addition, all mushrooms are certified organic at the farming level, as well as after extraction at the facility level.
OUR OTHER INGREDIENT SOURCING
All of our active ingredients - amino acids, plants and vitamins - are sourced from reputable, lab-based providers with verification for potency and non-GMO or organic status certification every step of the way.
Our flavor and color are sourced from fruits and vegetables only, while our tapioca syrup is organic, non-GMO certified and our organic sugar is vegan and regeneratively farmed.
