• Reishi is a valued medicinal mushroom traditionally used to support balance and inner strength. Reishi contains a high amount of antioxidants and is especially associated in herbal medicine with mental clarity and overall well-being.
• Chaga: this wild birch mushroom has been used for centuries in Nordic and Siberian folk medicine. Chaga is a natural source of antioxidants and is traditionally valued for supporting the general immune system.
• Maca is a root from the high Andes known for its revitalizing properties. Maca is often appreciated during stressful times as it is traditionally used to boost endurance, balance, and natural energy levels.
• Mucuna, also known as the “dopamine bean,” is linked in Ayurvedic teachings with balance and mental clarity. It naturally contains L-Dopa, a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine, and is also rich in antioxidants.
• Raw cocoa not only tastes good but also provides natural plant compounds (polyphenols) that can trigger feelings of well-being and inner warmth.
• Roasted dandelion root has a long tradition in natural medicine. It is especially associated in herbal medicine with gentle support for liver and digestive functions.

The heirloom cocoa used by Anima Mundi comes from original, unaltered cocoa varieties traditionally cultivated for generations in Central and South America.

Active Ingredients

• The term adaptogen was coined by Russian doctor and scientist Nikolai V. Lazarev. It encompasses a wide variety of plants from around the world. For thousands of years, such adaptogens have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurveda. Adaptogens are plant compounds, often herbs, roots, or mushrooms, that help the body cope with stress factors. These include schisandra, eleuthero, panax ginseng, ashwagandha, rhodiola, maca, and medicinal mushrooms like cordyceps, lion’s mane, or reishi. As the name suggests, adaptogens work by helping the body “adapt,” meaning to adjust. Adaptogens increase our adaptability, regulate the stress axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), and support anabolic metabolism. Adaptogens have a regulatory effect on the body, balancing deficits as well as reducing overfunctions. This idea of balance has a long tradition in TCM and Ayurveda. Adaptogens are intended to bring harmony to body, mind, and soul.
• Reishi / lacquer polypore (Ganoderma lucidum), also called the “mushroom of eternal life,” contains many minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements that make it especially valuable in medicine. Reishi is also highly valued in cosmetics, thanks in part to its anti-inflammatory and skin-rejuvenating properties and its ability to combat free radicals.
• The chaga mushroom has a wealth of healing effects. Some of its many benefits confirmed by the scientific community include its ability to reduce tumor growth, prevent cancer spread, modulate the immune system, combat the harmful effects of oxidative stress, enhance cognitive function, and more. Its high antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory effects make it an excellent ingredient to support protection of body and mind.
• Peruvian maca / ginseng (Lepidium meyenii root) has been used for centuries as a medicinal and nutritional food in the high Andean regions. Where few plants normally grow, the hardy maca thrives best. Maca is known as an adaptogen that promotes general well-being and a healthy mood. The tuber has a high nutrient density and is rich in copper, vitamin C, potassium, as well as trace elements like iodine, iron, and zinc, fatty acids, and amino acids. Maca is said to improve muscle building and endurance. It is reputed to relieve anxiety and stress and help with rheumatism and respiratory diseases. According to folk belief, maca is an aphrodisiac that increases sexual desire and improves fertility. The root promotes collagen synthesis, supports cell turnover, is highly antioxidant, and thus improves skin radiance and glow. Its anti-inflammatory properties help prevent outbreaks.
• Mucuna, also known as velvet bean, is one of the few naturally occurring and highly concentrated sources of L-Dopa. L-Dopa is a naturally occurring amino acid that converts into dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that produces feelings of joy and happiness. This adaptogenic legume has been used by indigenous peoples for centuries as a superfood for more energy and mood enhancement. Mucuna has a gently balancing effect on the brain and hormonal system. For this reason, it is often used for depression and anxiety, which can partly be related to exhaustion or insufficient performance of these important neurotransmitters. It can reduce stress and support sexual function.
