Radiance Mushroom Tincture

Gribb's Radiance Tincture is a certified-organic beauty-focused mushroom tincture combining Tremella — Tremella fuciformis (25%), Chaga — Inonotus obliquus (25%), Maitake — Grifola frondosa (25%), and Reishi — Ganoderma lucidum (25%).

All mushrooms are whole fruiting body, grown in-house on Gribb's certified-organic farm in Portugal under PT-BIO-10. The formula uses double extraction — hot water plus organic alcohol — and is standardised to 32–40% beta-glucans (β1,3 / β1,6). Tremella polysaccharides have been researched for their capacity to retain up to 500 times their weight in water, support collagen and hyaluronic acid production in skin fibroblasts, and protect against UV-induced oxidative damage.

Each 1ml serving delivers 2,000mg of functional mushroom content. The product contains 20–30% organic alcohol. Each 50ml bottle provides approximately 50 daily servings. Vegan. No known allergens. Produced in a facility handling nuts, coconut, and sesame.

Tremella fuciformis — also known as snow mushroom or silver ear — is one of the most researched functional mushrooms for skin health. Its polysaccharides have been found to retain up to 500 times their weight in water, making them a more powerful humectant than hyaluronic acid, with the added advantage of a smaller molecular structure that penetrates deeper into the skin.

Research has shown that Tremella polysaccharides support the production of collagen I, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in skin fibroblasts, and help protect against UV-induced oxidative damage. In traditional Chinese medicine, it has been used for thousands of years for skin luminosity and longevity — Yang Guifei, one of the four great beauties of the Tang dynasty, reportedly credited it for her complexion. The science is finally catching up with the legend.

Collagen supplements provide exogenous collagen that your body must break down and reassemble. The mushrooms in Radiance — particularly Tremella, Maitake, and Reishi — contain bioactive compounds that support your body's own collagen synthesis pathways from within.

Rather than adding more collagen to the system, they support the fibroblast activity and antioxidant protection that allows your body to produce and maintain its own collagen more effectively.

They also address skin hydration, free radical damage, and inflammation simultaneously — things a collagen supplement alone cannot do.

Yes — every mushroom in this kit is grown in our own certified-organic urban farm in Portimão, Portugal. We grow them ourselves from spore through to harvest. Nothing is imported from third-party suppliers or rebranded from elsewhere.

Our production is certified organic by NATURALFA (PT-BIO-10) and every batch is third-party tested before it ships. Full traceability from farm to your door.

It means the mushroom is extracted twice using two different solvents. First, hot water pulls out the water-soluble compounds — primarily beta-glucans and polysaccharides. Then, organic alcohol extracts the fat-soluble compounds — including riterpenoids — that hot water cannot reach.

The two extracts are combined to create a single full-spectrum tincture. It's more labour-intensive than single extraction, but it produces a significantly more complete product.

Research suggests Tremella polysaccharides offer comparable or superior hydration to hyaluronic acid for several reasons. First, water-retention capacity: Tremella can hold up to 500 times its weight in water. Second, molecular size: Tremella's molecules are smaller than many forms of hyaluronic acid, enabling deeper penetration into the epidermis.

Third, breadth: beyond hydration, Tremella provides antioxidant protection, supports collagen synthesis, and has anti-inflammatory properties — advantages hyaluronic acid alone doesn't offer.

They're complementary rather than competing; Tremella works systemically when taken as a supplement, while topical hyaluronic acid works at the surface level.

Maitake has been shown in head-to-head research to have the highest flavonoid content and antioxidant activity compared to Reishi and Lion's Mane. Its polysaccharides support skin hydration and collagen synthesis, and studies suggest its compounds may inhibit melanogenesis — the process of melanin overproduction that causes dark spots and uneven skin tone. Its triterpenes also show COX-1 and COX-2 inhibiting activity comparable to aspirin and ibuprofen in vitro — powerful anti-inflammatory action that calms reactive skin from the inside.

Yes — the tincture contains 20–30% organic alcohol, which is required for the dual-extraction process and acts as a natural preservative. At a standard 1ml dose, the amount is very small. To minimise it, add the drops to a hot drink — the heat causes most of the alcohol to evaporate quickly without affecting the mushroom compounds.

Gribb's Lion's Mane tincture is essentially flavour-neutral — it has a very faint, earthy undertone at full concentration, but once added to a coffee, tea, juice, or smoothie it's undetectable. It's designed to slot into whatever you're already drinking without changing the experience.

Take 1 full dropper (1ml / approx. 20 drops) up to twice daily. For fastest absorption, hold it under the tongue for 30–60 seconds before swallowing. Alternatively, add it directly to any hot or cold drink. Most people find the easiest approach is to add it to their morning coffee or tea — it becomes habit immediately and you never forget a dose.

Each 50ml bottle contains approximately 50 daily servings at the recommended 1ml dose. At once daily, that's roughly 7 weeks. At twice daily, approximately 3–4 weeks.

Yes — this tincture is designed for daily use as part of a consistent wellness routine.

As with any supplement, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medication, please consult your healthcare provider before starting. This is a food supplement, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Yes. Every mushroom used in Gribb's Lion's Mane tincture is grown on Gribb's own certified-organic farm in Portugal — certified under PT-BIO-10. No third-party mushrooms are ever used, which means full traceability from spore to bottle. Every batch is lab-tested for beta-glucan content and purity before it leaves the farm.
