This is a first for Fettle: tinctures. Not a powder for once.
People have been asking us to launch mushroom products for years. I kept saying no. Mushrooms are having a moment right now and I've never wanted to jump on something just because it's trend - if we're going to make it, I need to actually believe in it first.
What started to change my mind was Digby. He had lipoma issues a few years back (long story, it's on the blog) and Turkey Tail was one of the things that helped alongside milk thistle. I've had him on it for years now and seen what it's done, and that's what made me want to properly dig into mushrooms rather than hopping on a trend.
And the more I learned, the more I understood why.
There's ergothioneine: a compound dogs can't make themselves and have to get from food, that seems to head straight for the parts of the body under the most stress, like the liver and brain.
There are beta-glucans: which don't just "boost" the immune system in some vague way, they actually help it recognise threats better.
And triterpenoids: which calm inflammation and help the body find balance rather than just masking symptoms.
None of that is stuff I knew a year ago.
We'll go into each of these properly over the coming week. What they are, which mushroom does what, why it matters.
Because it's genuinely worth understanding, not just taking our word for it.
So- three tinctures, available for pre-order:
Turkey Tail: immunity, gut health, the one that helped Digby
Lion's Mane: focus, cognitive support, the nervous system
Reishi: calming, stress support, liver health
UK made. 100% organic. Hot water extracted, 1:4 ratio. Glycerin base, not alcohol.
