Our Peace Out blend helps you relieve stress, boost immunity, enhance focus, increase energy. 

Forfolk adaptogenic capsules boost immunity and decrease stress. We include 6 adaptogens - super mushrooms and herbs that have unique properties that help support the body’s ability to cope with the effects of physical and emotional stress. When taken consistently over a period of weeks or months, adaptogens may help support healthy stress response and promote feelings of calm and balance. These five include ashwaganda, reishi, cordyceps, chaga, and maca root. We've also added antioxidant-rich cinnamon to our blend.

What do all these "adaptogens" do?

Ashwaganda is a nightshade family plant with creamy white roots that are integral to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medicine tradition.  Ashwaganda:

• Supports anti-stress: reduces serum cortisol levels.
• Improves Mood: reduces depression and lowers negative mood levels.
• Anti anxiety: promotes a calm and even mood through anxiety reduction

Reishi is often called the mushroom of immortality. Reishi:

• Boosts Immunity: normalizes immune system when it is either over or underacting.
• Anti viral and antibacterial: Can be used to treat digestive infections.
• Supports digestion: strengthens and activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is the body’s rest and digest mode.
• Improves liver function: improvement in bile production necessary for proper fat digestion.

Cordyceps are vital for boosting energy and recovery - both necessary to help you Peace Out. Cordyceps:

• Supports healthy metabolism, and energy production
• Antibacterial
• Anti-hypertensive
• May protect against viral infections
• Improves the immune system
• Boosts sex drive

Chaga is a super mushroom that often resembles lumps of coal, but has numerous health benefits. Chaga:

• Supports immune health: Compounds called polysaccharides in Chaga help support the body’s conversion of food into energy for a caffeine-free energy boost.

ADAPTOGENS: How long do they take to work? 

Everyone is different, and we recommend consulting your doctor prior to taking any dietary supplements. The Peace Out blend is not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. With that said, most people start reaping the benefits of the Peace Out blend within 6-8 weeks. As with any wellness regimen, we want you to get the most out of it. We highly suggest tracking your experience with digestion, physical sensations, and mental changes in conjunction with taking the Peace Out blend to realize the benefits in that time frame. Any further questions just shout hello@forfolk.earth. 

Are adaptogens legal? 

Yes - 100%. Adaptogens are herbal pharmaceuticals. They work to counteract the effects of stress in the body. Stress causes very real physical changes in the body, including harming the neurological, endocrine, and immune systems. Adaptogens have stimulant properties that help counteract those harmful effects.

Where are your adaptogens sourced from? 

To create the Peace Out blend, we worked with a US based manufacturer and a certified Doctor of Pharmacy for guidance. Our manufacturer is an FDA registered facility, as well as USDA Organic certified, and ASI Food Safety certified. Our mushrooms are sourced within the US.

Our mushroom extracts (reishi, cordyceps, and chaga) are made from certified organic mushrooms, grown naturally on substrate materials native to each particular mushroom.

No sterile laboratories, sterile air, sterile growing environment or artificial lights. No unnatural substrates made of cereal grains or rice.

They are grown in greenhouses with natural lighting and natural fresh air flow. We want our mushrooms to be grown the same way you want your food produced – on a farm tended by real people not in a laboratory managed by technicians.

Our organic ashwaganda root is sourced from India. 

Our organic Maca 4:1 extract and cinnamon bark is sourced from China. 

We are committed to sourcing organic ingredients where possible, and continually seek suppliers who are transparent about their supply chain.
