FAQs

Everything you need to know

Which one should I choose?

It depends on when you'd like your ritual. Lion's Mane is our bestseller and most people take it in their morning coffee. Cordyceps is popular first thing or before training. Reishi is the one people take in the evening. Want more than one? The AM Bundle and Flow Trio cost less than buying separately.

What makes Mako different?

We grow our mushrooms in the UK, use the fruiting body only (never mycelium on grain), and dual extract at a 1:4 ratio. No fillers, no flavourings, and every batch is third-party tested.

How do I take it?

One 2ml dropper a day. Take it under the tongue, or add it to coffee, tea or water. Avoid boiling-hot drinks.

When will my order arrive?

Orders placed before our daily cut-off are sent the same day, with tracked delivery. You'll get tracking details as soon as it ships.

How much is shipping?

UK shipping is free on orders over £40 and on every subscription. Below £40, shipping is calculated at checkout.

How does Subscribe & Save work?

You save 20% on every delivery, shipping is free, and a new bottle arrives each month before you run out. You can pause, skip or cancel anytime from your account.

Is it tested?

Yes. Every batch is third-party tested for purity and quality before it ships. If you'd like details on a specific batch, drop us a message.

What if it's not for me?

Take it daily for 30 days. If it's not for you, email us and we'll refund you in full. No forms, and no need to send the bottle back.

Is there alcohol in it?

Yes. Like most tinctures, it's made with organic ethanol, which is what draws the compounds out of the mushroom. A 2ml dose is a small amount, but if you avoid alcohol completely it may not be for you.

Is it suitable for everyone?

It's vegan and gluten free. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, please speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking any food supplement. Don't exceed the recommended daily amount, and remember a food supplement isn't a substitute for a varied, balanced diet.

How long does a bottle last?

Each bottle is 60ml. At 2ml a day, that's a full month.

Do you make it yourselves?

Yes. We look after every stage ourselves, from growing the mushroom culture through to extraction, bottling and labelling. That's how we know exactly what goes into every bottle.

Can I take more than 2ml?

No. Please don't exceed the recommended daily amount of 2ml.

What if I'm allergic to mushrooms?

Our tinctures are made from mushrooms, so we'd advise against taking them if you have a mushroom allergy or intolerance.

How should I store it?

Keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, with the lid on tight. Keep out of reach of children.

How do I manage my subscription?

Log in to your account to pause, skip, change or cancel. If you get stuck, message us and we'll sort it for you.
