Where to start

What is bothering you at the moment?

Choose what sounds most like you. We'll immediately show you the matching mushrooms, and the formula that goes with them.

Several ring a bell? or take the quiz and we'll point you in the right direction.

The question to settle

A single mushroom, or a formula?

It isn't a question of better or worse. A single mushroom is the choice of versatility: you benefit from all its richness and all its benefits, every day. A formula is the choice of specialisation: four actives combined according to the Chinese pharmacopoeia to support one another towards a single goal.

Single
A single mushroom
€29.99bottle of 60 capsules
The versatility of one mushroom.
  • You get everything. All its effects, not just the one you were looking for.
  • The dose is higher. The whole capsule for a single mushroom.
  • You know what suits you. With a single active, you quickly see whether it works for you.
  • You take it every day. No set duration, for as long as you like.

Synergy
A complete formula
€34.99bottle of 60 capsules
The power of a targeted blend.
  • Everything pulls in the same direction. Four actives chosen for a single goal.
  • One main active, three that help it. Each has its role, following the Chinese rule.
  • What one lacks, another provides. Complementary actives brought together around the same need.
  • You take it over a set period. The length of a course, with a goal and a starting point.

A single extract and a formula can be combined when their compositions don't overlap. Follow the directions for use and the precautions for each product.

One mushroom, several fronts

Two thousand years of use, set down in a table. A single mushroom often works on several fronts, and each need calls on several mushrooms. The green dot marks the main association, the grey dot a complementary association. You can read, compare and put together your own combinations. Or let our formulas do it for you.

You can put your own together. Reishi for serenity, Peony to soothe… you can see where we're going. TCM did it before you, and our laboratory has optimised it. Here are the synergies we have formulated to date.

The art of composition

A formula, an architecture.

Chinese medicine has a very ancient rule of composition, , which assigns the roles within a formula.

Our formulas address the most common needs. For each one, we combine mushrooms and plants from the Chinese pharmacopoeia, chosen to work together towards a single goal. Here are the ones available today.

君臣佐使

Emperor, Minister,
Assistant, Envoy

This rule of composition is nearly two thousand years old. It has structured the preparations of the Chinese pharmacopoeia since the great classical treatises, and its principle is simple: in a formula, no ingredient is there “as an extra”. Each one holds a rank, a function and a proportion, and exists only in relation to the other three.

Emperor
君 · jūn
It carries the main action. It defines the formula's target, and it makes up the largest proportion. Remove it, and the formula changes its nature.
Minister
臣 · chén
It strengthens and extends the Emperor. It works on the same axis, but through a different mechanism. This is what gives the formula its depth rather than a simple sum of doses.
Assistant
佐 · zuǒ
It covers the blind spots. It addresses the secondary aspects of the problem, or tempers anything the Emperor might overdo. It is the role of balance.
Envoy
使 · shǐ
It harmonises and guides. It directs the action to the right sphere of the body and holds the whole together. It doesn't act for itself: it acts for the formula.

See the rule at work

Serenity
Athletic perf.
Mental perf.
Immunity

Athletic Performance Formula

Goal: support physical effort and recovery.

EmperorOrganic Cordyceps: It tonifies Kidney and Lung Qi: breath, endurance, recovery. It is the one that sets the formula's target.
MinisterOrganic Shiitake: It supports assimilation and the immune foundation. Over a training season, this is what lets you handle the load without collapsing.
AssistantGinseng: It strengthens central Qi, the energy that is immediately available. It bridges the gap: Cordyceps works deep down and over time, Ginseng provides the fuel for the day.
EnvoyRhodiola: It modulates the response to the stress of exertion and harmonises the effort / recovery pairing, so that the formula doesn't push in a vacuum.

Cordyceps alone is the full richness of the mushroom: energy, endurance, recovery, vitality. The formula is that same Cordyceps focused on a single goal, with three actives that lock down its blind spots.

The laboratory

Behind the range,
a laboratory.

Since 1997, Laboratoire Calebasse has kept the Chinese pharmacopoeia alive in France. Myco is its range dedicated to medicinal mushrooms. Our pharmacists and formulators study their molecules, work on their extracts and compose their synergies. The rigour of a modern laboratory, in the service of two thousand years of knowledge.

01
Quality, without compromise
Our extracts come from the noble part of the mushroom, fruiting body or sclerotium depending on the species, never from mycelium grown on grain. Certified organic crops, systematic testing for pesticides and heavy metals, standardised active content in every batch.
02
Formulated in Paris
A team of mycology experts, pharmacists, Chinese medicine practitioners and naturopaths work in our Paris workshops. Batch selection, quality control, packaging in vegetable capsules. Made in France to GMP standards.
03
Formulation, through Chinese medicine
Our synergies follow the rules of composition of the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Each pillar has its role, its rank, its proportion. Not an average of actives. An architecture.

Fantastic product, of excellent quality. I have been using Chinese herbs from different brands and from several countries for a long time, and these are clearly among the best I have tried.
