FORMULATION · THE SUPERBLEND STACK®
Built around the network that runs everything.
Most formulas chase a single effect. Ours is built around the endocannabinoid system, the network that keeps Calm, Balance, Focus, Gut and Energy in step.
THE THINKING, IN FOUR MINUTES ↓
01 · THE INSIGHT
This isn't a
mushroom drink.
We don't formulate for one symptom. We formulate around the network that runs through all of them.
It's easy to mistake it for one. But the seven mushrooms are the second layer of the system, not the first.
The first is cold-pressed, hemp-derived CBD. It was chosen for its relationship with the body's endocannabinoid system, the regulatory network that runs across the nervous system, gut, hormones and metabolism. One regulator, everywhere at once.
When that network is well-resourced, your five performance systems stay calibrated. When it's depleted, by chronic stress, broken sleep or a modern diet, each one drifts.
The framing of the endocannabinoid system on this page draws on Lu & Mackie (2016, 2021) and Russo (2004, 2016). Read the Science Library →
02 · THE ARCHITECTURE
Three tiers. One system.
Every Ritual is built on the same architecture. The foundation regulates. The stack performs. The finish completes.
TIER 1
01 The Foundation · 10mg cold-pressed CBD.
The operating system. Works with the endocannabinoid network that sits underneath all five performance systems.
TIER 2
02 The Stack · seven organic mushrooms. The applications. Each one selected for a specific, researched role across the five systems.
TIER 3
03 The Finish · Shilajit and cayenne
The finishing layer. Shilajit, studied in human trials for strength under fatigue; cayenne, studied for thermogenesis.
03 · THE STACK
Seven made the cut.
We started with one question: which functional mushrooms carry the strongest body of research and what happens when you put all of them in one cup? Most blends use one. Some use three. We use seven, each at 20:1 extract strength.
Lion's mane
Hericium erinaceus
FOCUS
Studied for nerve growth factor and cognitive clarity.
Shiitake
Lentinula edodes
GUT
Studied for the gut microbiome and immune signalling.
Chaga
Inonotus obliquus
BALANCE
Studied for antioxidant load and oxidative stress response.
Tremella
Tremella fuciformis
CALM / SKIN
Studied for hydration polysaccharides and antioxidant action.
Reishi
Ganoderma lucidum
CALM
Studied for HPA-axis modulation and sleep latency.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps sinensis
ENERGY
Studied for ATP production and oxygen uptake.
Maitake
Grifola frondosa
BALANCE / GUT
Studied for beta-glucan content and glucose response.
Each at 20:1 extract strength. Every ingredient earns its place — and the research behind it.
04 · THE FIVE SYSTEMS
Five systems. One regulator.
Your body doesn't run on one switch.
Select a system to see which ingredients support it.
05 · THE METHOD
The slow way to make CBD.
Most CBD is extracted fast, refined down to a single molecule, then suspended in a generic carrier oil. We chose the slow, rare way.
INDUSTRY STANDARD / EXTRACTED & REFINED
• CO₂, ethanol or hydrocarbon solvents
• Refined into distillate or isolate
• Suspended in a generic carrier oil
• Fast, scalable, high-yield
THE WELLNESS METHOD / COLD-PRESSED
• Mechanical pressing at low temperature
• No solvents. No high heat.
• Never stripped to a single molecule
• Carried in its own natural plant lipids — the way the plant holds it
Slower. Lower yield. More expensive. Worth it.
06 · OUR STANDARD
How we read the science.
Wellness is full of overclaiming. We hold ourselves to a stricter standard and label the evidence honestly.
ESTABLISHED
EMERGING
UNDER-INVESTIGATION
Mechanisms and effects supported by a substantial body of peer-reviewed research.
Promising human and preclinical findings that are still being replicated.
Early-stage research. We say so plainly, and we watch it closely.
We do not claim our products treat, cure or prevent any medical condition — and we never will. Every study we reference is listed, openly, in one place.
"We don't sell a symptom. We build a ritual."
