Hifas da Terra (HdT) products can be taken individually or mixed, depending on the desired effect. This is because each fungus contains a set of biomolecules that give them beneficial properties in different areas. When consumed synergistically, multiple pathways are activated, providing a more powerful response. The Hifas-Functionals range has been created with this in mind, presenting synergies of fungi to meet everyday needs.

As each individual is different, effects vary from person to person, depending on the desired effect. However, based on our clinical research after 25 years, we recommend a minimum of 3 months to see maximum benefits.

No breaks are necessary; both extracts and powders made from pure Hifas da Terra mushrooms can be taken continuously. They are food supplements which, as their name suggests, complement the diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The capsules we use in our products are 100% natural, but if you dislike capsules or have difficulty swallowing them, they can be opened and mixed with juice, yoghurt or other foods. However, other product lines have been designed for these cases, some in liquid form to be taken with a dropper, such as Hifas-Lentinan, and others in powder form, such as the 100% powder line, which is specially designed to be consumed with your favourite food or drink.

Our supplements are vegan. However, Mico-Repair, Hifas-Intima Oral, Hifas-Intima Gel, Coco-Vit D, Optimum, and Optimum-Men are not vegan.

Hifas da Terra products do not contain gluten.

Hifas da Terra products do not contain dairy.

High-quality pure mushrooms are safe, but we recommend that you consult your healthcare professional if you are taking other medications* and wish to start taking our products.

We do not recommend our products for:

people who are allergic to mushrooms or any of the ingredients.

• pregnant and breastfeeding women,
• children under 3 years of age.

*Due to the additive effect of certain medicinal mushrooms, we recommend monitoring glucose/blood pressure levels in those taking medication and adapting the protocol to your doctor's recommendations.

We always recommend taking Hifas da Terra products in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach or between meals, unless otherwise indicated by your doctor or on the product packaging, as in the case of Hifas Menopause and Hifas Neuro. For people who have difficulty swallowing capsules, it is possible to open them and mix their contents with a small amount of juice, water, yoghurt, etc.

We do not recommend our products to people who are allergic to mushrooms.

We recommend a minimum of 4 weeks, and 12 weeks of supplementation for optimal results and to maximise the effect. No breaks are necessary, and the product can be taken continuously or repeated for 3 months several times a year.

If the products have not been opened, check the expiry date. However, if the products have been opened, we recommend the following depending on the product line.

• Micosalud (extracts such as Mico-Rei, Mico-Leo, Mico-Cord...): the products should preferably be consumed within 5 months of opening.
• Hifas-Functionals: products should preferably be consumed within 2 months of opening.
• Liquid products (syrups, Onco and Lentinan): products should preferably be consumed within 40 days of opening.

Dry products (powders and extracts): We recommend storing them in a dark place, preferably at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

Liquid products: we recommend storing the products in a cool place before opening and in the refrigerator once opened.

At Hifas da Terra, we have developed a line dedicated to children and specially formulated in liquid form for easier consumption and better absorption. It consists of two products, Dr. GB and Dr. Immune Five. This line can be consumed from 3 years of age, always ensuring that there is no allergy to mushrooms.

For all other products, we recommend use from 7 years of age. Always ensure that there are no allergies to mushrooms or other ingredients.

The product is inherently environmentally friendly, but due to the standardised manufacturing process using a bioreactor, it cannot be labelled as such. A bioreactor is a machine that establishes all the necessary conditions for growing a specific strain of fungus, similar to a large Petri dish. We use this technique because C. sinensis is endangered in the wild, so instead of harvesting it, we have developed this more sustainable cultivation technique.

These are two different strains of the same species of fungus. Cordyceps sinensis can be marketed for human consumption in the EU, while Cordyceps militaris cannot because it is a novel food.

When we talk about powder, we are referring to mushrooms that have been dried at low temperatures, ground into powder and then placed in capsules.

Extracts are so called because they undergo an extraction process to obtain a greater quantity of natural active ingredients, providing a highly concentrated powder rich in natural active ingredients.

At Hifas da Terra, thanks to our R&D team, we develop sustainable extraction techniques such as Hifas Green Extraction TechnologyⓇ, which allows us to obtain extracts from medicinal mushrooms with high concentrations of active biomolecules and active ingredients. Due to their more concentrated nature, the extracts provide greater potency and efficacy in their therapeutic action. This allows us to formulate in such a way that the optimal dose is achieved with fewer capsules per day, delivering results in a shorter period of time.

If you are looking for an all-in-one product or are new to pure mushroom supplements, the Hifas-Functionals range is for you. This range has been designed to meet everyday needs with a specific combination of mushrooms and plant extracts to target specific requirements. The Micosalud range consists of concentrated extracts of various mushrooms in single-unit format, as well as synergies designed to offer the possibility of creating your own mushroom combinations, or for people seeking the effects of a specific mushroom.

Hifas Green Extraction is an exclusive extraction system that uses unique technologies and raw materials to obtain a higher concentration of active ingredients. It is also a sustainable extraction system. For more information, please visit our Quality page.

Our products are organic, GMP certified for pharmaceutical excellence and suitable for coeliacs, lactose intolerant individuals, vegans* and others.

We carry out triple analytical checks to guarantee 360° traceability of our products (from raw materials to finished products).

*Except for the following products: Mico-Repair, Hifas-Intima Oral, Hifas-Intima Gel, Coco-Vit D, Optimum and Optimum-Men.
