Amidst the noise, two categories rise above the rest: adaptogens and functional mushrooms. These natural ingredients have been trusted for centuries to support balance, vitality, and resilience — and today, modern research is beginning to confirm their benefits.
This guide explains what they are, how they work, and how to choose supplements you can trust.
Adaptogens are plants and botanicals that help the body respond to stress, whether that stress is physical, emotional, or environmental.
They’ve been used for centuries in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, where herbs like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola were valued for their ability to support balance and vitality.
Modern research suggests that certain adaptogens may help:
• Support a calm, steady mood during stressful times
• Promote endurance and stamina
• Enhance mental focus and clarity
• Improve resilience to fatigue
How they work: Adaptogens don’t act like stimulants or sedatives. Instead, they help nudge the body back toward balance, a state called homeostasis.
💡 Quick Fact: A 2021 review found that Ashwagandha extract was associated with reduced stress levels and improved well-being compared to placebo.
Functional mushrooms are not the same as the ones you cook for dinner. They contain unique compounds that can support whole-body wellness.
Most researched functional mushrooms include:
• Lion’s Mane: Memory, focus, and gut-brain support
• Reishi: Stress resilience and immune balance
• Cordyceps: Natural energy via oxygen utilization
• Chaga, Turkey Tail, Shiitake: Immune and antioxidant support
• Maitake: Metabolic and immune health
These benefits come from compounds like beta-glucans, which modulate immunity and support cellular health.
Pro Tip: Look for fruiting body extracts on labels. Fruiting bodies contain the highest concentration of active compounds compared to mycelium (often diluted with grain).
While each has unique benefits, combining them creates synergy that reflects how our bodies actually work: interconnected and dynamic.
Examples of powerful combinations:
• Stress & Mood: Ashwagandha + Reishi → calm resilience
• Energy & Recovery: Rhodiola + Cordyceps → steady energy
• Cognition & Gut Health: Lion’s Mane + prebiotic fiber → gut-brain support
• Hormonal & Liver: Burdock Root + detox botanicals → toxin + hormone balance
Note: Not every More. formula contains mushrooms. Some blends are purely botanical and nutrient-based designed for targeted, focused support without unnecessary ingredients.
Health challenges rarely come from one cause. Fatigue, for example, can stem from:
• Elevated stress hormones
• Poor gut health
• Low nutrient absorption
• Chronic inflammation
A synergy-driven formula addresses multiple factors at once, creating a stronger foundation for long-term wellness
At More. Longevity & Wellbeing, every formula is built to support interconnected systems, combining adaptogens, mushrooms, botanicals, and nutrients where they make the most sense.

Not all supplements are created equal. Here’s how to separate quality from marketing hype:
Red Flags
• Proprietary blends without exact ingredient amounts
• Mycelium on grain instead of fruiting body mushrooms
• Artificial colors, dyes, or unnecessary fillers
• No mention of third-party testing
Green Flags
• Transparent labeling with every ingredient listed
• Fruiting body mushroom extracts (when mushrooms are included)
• Thoughtful, balanced blends instead of megadoses
• GMP-certified manufacturing
• ISO-17025 third-party testing
Why third-party testing matters:
Independent labs confirm that supplements are free from contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, mold, or harmful microbes — and that what’s on the label matches what’s in the bottle.
At More. Longevity & Wellbeing, we believe wellness should feel clear and empowering, not confusing or overwhelming.
Our formulas are:

Some blends feature functional mushrooms, while others focus purely on botanicals and nutrients — but every formula is crafted for bioavailable support that works with your body.
Adaptogens and functional mushrooms represent more than a wellness trend, they reflect a shift toward integrative, systems-based health.
By choosing thoughtfully formulated, third-party tested supplements, you can support your body’s natural ability to adapt, recover, and thrive.
When it comes to your health, don’t settle for hype.
