Chicken of the Woods Tincture

Chicken of the Woods is a well-known wild mushroom recognized for both its culinary use and its emerging role in wellness practices.

Traditionally used to support immune and digestive health, it contains compounds such as polysaccharides and beta-glucans that are being explored for their role in overall resilience and balance.

Our tincture is dual-extracted using both water and alcohol to capture a full spectrum of beneficial compounds, offering a convenient way to incorporate this seasonal mushroom into daily wellness.

• Named for its texture and flavor, which resembles chicken when cooked.
• Grows in bright, shelf-like clusters on hardwood trees.
• Has been traditionally used as both a food and a functional mushroom.
• Its vibrant orange color fades as it ages.

Traditionally used to support:

• Immune system function
• Digestive comfort and gut support
• Nutritional nourishment
• General wellness during seasonal transitions
• Adaptogenic-like stress resilience*

*Not technically classified as an adaptogen, but used similarly by many herbalists for overall system support.

Shake well.

Take 30–60 drops (1–2 dropperfuls) up to 2–3 times daily.

May be taken directly or added to water or tea.

Beta-glucans (polysaccharides)
Associated with immune support and overall resilience.

Antioxidant compounds
Help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Fiber-like compounds
Support digestive balance and gut health.

Phenolic compounds
Studied for their role in inflammatory balance and cellular protection.
