Shiitake Alcohol Free Mushroom Liquid

We understand that some customers prefer to avoid alcohol, whether for personal, religious, or health reasons. Our alcohol free version provides the same benefits while being suited to people who cannot or choose not to consume alcohol.

No, our superior extraction process maintains the full spectrum of beneficial compounds. The glycerin base effectively preserves and stabilises these compounds, so you receive the same benefits as our traditional formula.

Our alcohol free version has a slightly sweet taste due to the glycerin base. Many customers find it more pleasant than alcohol-based extracts, making it easier to incorporate into beverages or take directly. It also makes it suitable for children (over 5 years) and for pets.

We use a unique dual-extraction process and only 100% fruit body mushrooms in our liquid extracts. We prioritise potency, purity and bioavailability in every batch.

While individual experiences vary, many people report noticing benefits within 1-3 weeks of consistent use. The effects of functional mushrooms typically build over time, with optimal results appearing after 4-8 weeks of regular use. Consistency is key – we recommend making it part of your daily routine.

The mushrooms we use in our premium liquids and powders are grown in two places – on our farm in Western Australia and in organically certified, dedicated mushroom facilities in China.

It’s important to remember that China is the birthplace of medicinal mushrooms, having been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. China grows 87% of the world’s mushrooms, producing some of the most potent medicinal mushrooms available.

Our focus has always been on growing and sourcing the highest quality mushrooms for our products, whether from Australia or elsewhere. All of our imported products are triple checked by the FDA and Australian customs. Our products are sourced from clones of mushrooms that are guaranteed to contain the beneficial compounds that functional mushrooms are known for.

There is not enough evidence that inclusion of mycelium in a functional mushroom product is beneficial. Mycelium is grown on grain and it’s virtually impossible to separate the mycelium from the grain. This dilutes the effectiveness of the final product. At Touchwood Mushrooms we’re about results and good health outcomes, which is why we only use the whole fruit body.

Our experience in mushroom extraction has led us to conclude that the best way to gain the complete benefits of mushroom supplements is through our dual-extraction method. We haven’t seen any additional benefits in encapsulation of the mushroom extract. Capsules and tablets also require additional ingredients to be taken in by the body. Our preference has always been to deliver the highest level of beneficial mushroom extract from 100% fruit body, and with the lowest level of alcohol to act as a carrier and for preservation.
