Shiaqga is the name of the mushroom used in all of our products. While many people are familiar with well-known mushrooms like Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, and Chaga, these represent only a small fraction of the more than 10,000 known mushroom species—and mycologists believe that number is only about 4% of what actually exists. Mycology is a rapidly growing field, and we’re excited to share more about the unique mushroom at the heart of everything we make.
Shiaqga has been part of Native American medicine for thousands of years. The Niimíipuu people of the Columbia Plateau referred to it as “Shiaqga,” meaning “giver of life.” For generations, Medicine Men and Women have honored this mushroom for its restorative properties, and in recent years they have chosen to share it more widely so others can experience its benefits.
These communities carefully harvest Shiaqga with deep respect for the land and for sustainable practices. After harvesting, the mushrooms are cleaned and sent directly to our manufacturing facility, where they are brewed into a concentrated tea and extracted with great care to ensure maximum potency.
We have been producing this extract for over ten years and regularly hear from grateful customers, supportive practitioners, and even relieved pet owners who appreciate what Shiaqga has done for their wellness journeys. It is our honor to help introduce this remarkable mushroom to the world.
The suggested use is 1–4 ml per day, which is roughly a full dropper. Some people prefer taking their full daily amount in the morning, while others like to divide it throughout the day—either approach is fine. The extract can be taken directly under the tongue or mixed into water. For those with ongoing or more intensive wellness needs, daily intake may be increased to up to 6 ml, but it’s best to consult your physician to determine what is right for you.
For optimal results, we encourage customers to follow a clean, plant-focused diet while using our products. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and drinking fresh water can help support a stronger immune system and overall recovery. Reducing or eliminating processed foods, meat, sugar, dairy, alcohol, and bread may further enhance your wellness experience.
Yes. Many customers use Shiaqga to support their system during times of food sensitivities. These sensitivities can often be connected to an overwhelmed or imbalanced immune system rather than the food itself. For this reason, some people find that gentle immune support can make a meaningful difference.
We recommend starting with 0.25 ml per day to see how your body responds. You can then increase by 0.25 ml each day until you reach your preferred daily amount. Some people may notice mild detox-like effects as their system adjusts. This is not an allergic reaction, but rather a sign that the body is processing and releasing stored toxins. If the detox feels too strong, simply lower your dose or pause for a few days before continuing.
As always, please speak with your doctor about introducing a new dietary supplement into their health regiment.

Our Chief Medicine Man and our manufacturer says: “Yes, very much so — extremely beneficial. Even infants can take it according to their size if properly diluted. I used to mix some in with my son’s applesauce. You want to dose according to size — an infant needs less than a full adult. Also the cinnamon and peppermint can be a little intense if used directly, so mix it with something else (milk, water, juice, food). (Example: I would just use 10 drops in a bottle for an infant.) I don’t think there are any written testimonials at the moment, but my three sisters all used it while they were pregnant. The body recognizes Shiaqga as a food — if you want to be super safe, just mix a little in some food (applesauce, mashed potatoes, or some other such food) and slowly build up over time.”

Many people notice that when the immune system begins to rebalance, the body naturally starts clearing out stored waste and toxins. This gentle “detox” phase can sometimes bring temporary sensations such as fatigue, mild flu-like feelings, headache, or changes in digestion. These experiences are usually short-lived and are simply signs that the body is adjusting and moving toward a healthier state.
The MykoTroph Institute for Nutritional and Mushroom Medicine describes this process by explaining that mushrooms help break down and mobilize toxins so the body can eliminate them through its natural detox pathways. When the body has a higher accumulated toxic load, this process can feel more noticeable. They recommend reducing the dosage if detox sensations feel too strong, giving the body more time to adjust before increasing again.
Medicinal mushrooms naturally contain enzymes and nutrients that support both phases of the body’s detoxification processes, along with B-vitamins and amino acids that help the body manage oxidative stress and metabolic waste.
Once this initial adjustment period passes, the Shiaqga extract—along with the other plant ingredients in our formula, such as Sacred Frankincense, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Lemon, Peppermint, and Cinnamon—can better support the body’s overall sense of balance, energy, and immune resilience.
Our customers often share a wide variety of personal experiences with improved well-being, energy, clarity, and daily comfort after incorporating Shiaqga into their wellness routine. While everyone’s experience is unique, we always encourage customers to listen to their bodies and adjust their dosage as needed.
As always, please speak with your healthcare provider before adding any new dietary supplement to your routine.
Shiaqga is formulated to be gentle and food-like in the way the body processes it. We have not encountered concerns regarding interactions with common supplements or medications, but we always recommend starting slowly so your body has time to adjust. Increasing your amount gradually allows your system to process and eliminate stored waste more comfortably. Taking too much too quickly may lead to temporary detox-like sensations, which some people describe as mild flu-like feelings.
A well-supported and balanced immune system can complement the rest of your wellness routine and may help your body respond more effectively to the supplements and lifestyle practices you already use. As your system strengthens and finds better balance, many people notice they feel more resilient overall and require less external support than before.
As always, please speak with your doctor before adding any new dietary supplement to your routine, especially if you take prescription medications or have underlying health conditions.
Our formula blends Shiaqga with several supportive plant-based ingredients that have long histories of traditional use. Sacred Frankincense is valued for its grounding aroma and its ability to support clarity, calm, and overall immune balance. Black Cumin Seed Oil has been used for centuries in many cultures as a nourishing oil that supports healthy digestion, immunity, and general vitality. Lemon essential oil provides bright, uplifting properties and is often used to support natural cleansing processes and overall freshness. Cinnamon Bark offers a warm, comforting profile and has traditionally been used to support circulation and general wellness. Peppermint essential oil contributes a cooling, refreshing quality and is commonly used to support clear breathing, energy, and digestive comfort.
Together, these ingredients create a well-rounded, nature-inspired blend designed to support overall balance, vitality, and a renewed sense of well-being.
Choosing the right product depends on your current health goals and the level of support you’re looking for. We offer two formulas: Rapid Immune Recovery and Daily Immune Restoration. Rapid Immune Recovery is typically recommended for those seeking stronger or faster-acting support, including people working through ongoing wellness challenges. Many of our team members also enjoy this formula for its robust, energizing feel.
Daily Immune Restoration is a gentler option designed for people who already feel balanced and want a daily plant-based supplement to help maintain overall wellness. It offers steady, consistent support in a less concentrated form.
If you’re unsure which to start with, we’re always happy to help you choose the option that best fits your goals and preferences. Feel free to reach out to us anytime.
We’ve tried and tested the Shiaqga with our own pets and many animals. What we’ve seen is what some would call miracles. The Shiaqga is amazing for maintaining optimal health in those healthy pets too.
White Sparrow, Medicine Woman writes, “We own two dogs & each morning they get a dose of Shiaqga. Our boy came from an abused and nutrient deficient environment. A few months later, he was top of the line Healthy. I just add a smidgen of Shiaqga in raw meat… along with other superfoods. It’s easy breezy & even great grandma, or Emma the 3 year old. . . can manage it.”
Depending on the health condition of your pet, that will determine the dose. Highly toxic pets deserve a tad bit more. It is considered a food so there are no overdose issues. Taking more will only cause detox symptoms. For your more unhealthy friends, you can increase the amount given but use wisdom and pay attention to their behavior and temperature.
As they shift into healing, they will tend to get tired and deserve rest and repair. As their immune system is built and healing occurs, the detoxification effects will lessen.

Company & Manufacturer
Hi there! We’re a small, dedicated team passionate about helping bring medicinal mushrooms into the spotlight of modern wellness. Our vision is to share the remarkable Shiaqga mushroom with households and clinics everywhere, offering natural support to both adults and children. We believe deeply in the body’s innate ability to heal—and that, with the right help from nature, that potential becomes even more powerful.
Check out more on our About Us page.
Our company was originally based in Oregon, but we’ve recently relocated to Wisconsin—and today, our team is spread across the country. You’ll find us in places like Chicago, rural Missouri, and even on the island of Kauai!
We partner with Native American communities in the Pacific Northwest who sustainably harvest Shiaqga on their own tribal lands, continuing a long-standing tradition of care, respect, and stewardship for the mushroom and the environment.
Our work with medicinal mushroom research, paired with hands-on learning from Native American communities, helped us realize how valuable these traditions are for modern wellness. For thousands of years, the Shiaqga mushroom has held an important place in Native American Medicine, just as healing mushrooms have been central to Traditional Chinese Medicine and were used by Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Across cultures and throughout history, people have turned to mushrooms for their ability to support detoxification, strengthen the body, and help maintain a balanced immune response.
Seeing this wisdom echoed across so many traditions made it clear that this knowledge shouldn’t stay hidden—it’s something worth sharing far and wide. What began as something we shared with family and friends has grown into a mission to make these time-honored practices accessible to everyone who may benefit.
