Product & ingredients
What's "fruiting body," and why does it matter?
The fruiting body is the actual mushroom, where the active beta-glucans concentrate — versus mycelium grown on grain, which is largely starch. We use fruiting-body extract and publish the beta-glucan number for every lot.
Is Understory psychoactive?
No, never. Lion's mane, cordyceps and reishi are functional culinary mushrooms. Nothing psychoactive, nothing gray-market.
How much caffeine is in it?
Focus Coffee has about 90mg per serving — roughly one standard cup — from real Arabica. The Calm Blend is caffeine-free.
Is the Calm Blend really melatonin-free?
Yes. It uses magnesium, glycine and L-theanine to support a calm wind-down, without the grogginess and tolerance many people get from melatonin.
Will it taste like mud?
No. It starts with real, taste-tested specialty coffee (or a cacao base for the evening). The functional part shouldn't cost you your cup.
Subscriptions, shipping & returns
How do I cancel or change my subscription?
Online, yourself, in about three clicks from your account — anytime. No phone call, no retention hoops. You can skip, swap, or change frequency too. See Subscription Terms.
How does the 30% first-box offer work?
Your first subscription box is 30% off; after that it renews at the standard price (e.g., Focus $27 to start, then $39/month) until you cancel. Cancel anytime in one click.
When will my order ship?
We ship on an honest timeline with tracking — details on Shipping & Returns. Free shipping over the threshold shown at checkout.
What's your guarantee?
A 60-day money-back guarantee on your first order. If it's not for you, we refund it — no return shipping, no interrogation.
Testing & safety
Is it third-party tested?
Every lot is tested by an independent lab for beta-glucan potency, heavy metals, and microbials. The Certificate of Analysis is available by lot — see Science & Testing.
Can I take it with medication, or while pregnant or nursing?
We can't give medical advice. If you're pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, please talk with your healthcare provider before use.
Are these medical claims?
No. We make structure/function statements only (like "supports focus") and no medical or disease claims of any kind.
A real person answers — usually within one business day.
