Soma Elixir: 7 Mushrooms + Schisandra

SOMA ELIXIR combines seven functional mushrooms with schisandra and rose petals in a liquid extract. Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Agaricus, Maitake, and Shiitake bring together different traditions of mycology; schisandra complements the blend as a classic tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The mushrooms are processed as liquid extracts. Anima Mundi uses water, vegetable glycerin, and organic sugarcane alcohol to extract a broad spectrum of their natural constituents. These include, among others, polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and mushroom-specific secondary plant compounds.

The blend tastes botanical, lightly earthy, and bitter. Schisandra adds a fruity-sour note, while rose and rose geranium round out the profile with floral notes. This combination makes SOMA more versatile in flavor than many pure mushroom extracts.

Anima Mundi combines traditional plant and mushroom knowledge from different regions of the world with modern tonics and everyday rituals. Founder Adriana Ayales works with botanicals from Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Central and South American plant traditions.

The 7 Mushrooms & Botanicals

• Reishi & Chaga
  Two of the best-known functional mushrooms from East Asian and northern Eurasian mushroom traditions. In SOMA, they contribute their characteristic earthy, bitter mushroom profiles to the blend.
• Lion’s Mane & Cordyceps
  Both are now among the best-known functional mushrooms and make SOMA botanically more diverse than a classic reishi or chaga extract.
• Maitake, Shiitake & Agaricus
  Three additional traditional culinary and functional mushrooms complement the formula and broaden its natural spectrum of polysaccharides and other mushroom-specific constituents.
• Schisandra & Rose
  Schisandra contributes its characteristic five-flavor profile, with fruity acidity and bitter notes. Rose and rose geranium give the blend a softer floral side and make the elixir more rounded aromatically.

There is extensive traditional knowledge and modern research relating to reishi, chaga, Lion’s Mane, cordyceps, schisandra, and the other mushrooms and botanicals included. Here, we limit ourselves to a brief overview. Those who would like to learn more can find plenty of additional information online.
