Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about our tinctures, shipping and returns
What is Original Meds?
Original Meds is a Colorado company that crafts small-batch functional mushroom tinctures. All tinctures are made in our lab in Golden, Colorado, USA, from organically cultivated, USA-sourced fruiting body mushrooms.
Which mushroom tinctures does Original Meds make?
We make single-mushroom dual extract tinctures of Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi, Chaga and Cordyceps, plus bundles that combine them.
What does "dual extract 1:1" mean?
Dual extract means the mushrooms are extracted with both water and ethanol, which pulls out both the water-soluble and the alcohol-soluble compounds. 1:1 is the concentration: 28 grams of fruiting body mushroom go into every 1 ounce of tincture.
Do you use fruiting bodies or mycelium grown on grain?
We use real fruiting body mushrooms only. We do not use myceliated grains, so there are no grain fillers in our tinctures.
Do the tinctures contain alcohol?
Ethanol is used during extraction, but the finished tinctures are reconstituted with glycerin instead of alcohol as the carrier and preservative. Glycerin also gives them a milder, sweeter taste.
How do I take a mushroom tincture?
Take a dropper a day, either under the tongue or mixed into coffee, tea or a smoothie.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is a flat rate of $7 per order, and free when you use a valid free-shipping coupon at checkout. We ship nationwide within the USA.
How long does it take for an order to ship?
