Dogs
Yes! Our powders and calming cookies are formulated specifically for dogs, while our mushroom tinctures are designed for humans. However, both product lines harness the power of functional mushrooms—hence the name, The Spore Lords!
What truly sets us apart is our Nitric Oxide delivery system, which supports your dog’s body in producing its own Nitric Oxide via Nitric Oxide Synthases (NOS). This process helps:
- Fight infections
- Increase blood flow & oxygenation
- Stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
- Reduce capillary occlusion & NSAID gastric damage
- Support neurotransmission & muscle growth
We focus on real, functional ingredients that do more than just supplement—they upgrade your dog’s well-being.
Our Nitric Oxide Delivery System is designed to naturally boost your dog’s ability to produce its own Nitric Oxide through Nitric Oxide Synthases (NOS). This process converts Arginine into Nitric Oxide, which plays a crucial role in:
- Improving circulation by increasing blood flow
- Enhancing oxygen delivery for better energy and endurance
- Supporting immune function to help fight infections
- Promoting muscle growth and recovery
- Reducing inflammation and digestive stress
By optimizing Nitric Oxide levels, our supplements provide support for your dog’s overall health and vitality—all without additives or fillers.
Most dogs experience noticeable benefits within a week when given daily. However, results may vary depending on your dog’s size, age, and overall health. Consistency is key for the best long-term effects!
Our Calming Line generally works within thirty minutes after consumption.
Our supplements are formulated with your dog’s weight in mind, so it's important to follow the recommended dosage.
If your pup accidentally consumes more than the suggested amount, reach out to your vet for guidance. While our ingredients are natural, too much of a good thing can sometimes cause digestive upset.
We source our ingredients from trusted global suppliers who are industry leaders in quality and sustainability.
Every batch comes with Quality Assurance documentation and chemical analysis testing to ensure purity, potency, and safety—because your dog deserves only the best.
Functional Mushroom Tinctures
Functional mushrooms are non psychoactive mushrooms that have health benefits.
Key benefits of functional mushrooms include:
- Immune system support through beta-glucans
- Antioxidant, adaptogenic, and neuroprotective properties
- High levels of vitamins, amino acids, and other essential compounds
Some mushrooms also act as adaptogens helping the body respond to stress.
Adaptogens are natural substances—such as herbs, plants, and mushrooms—that help the body manage stress. They work at a cellular level, balancing stress hormones and promoting overall equilibrium. Over time, adaptogens help build resilience, reduce fatigue, and improve the body's ability to cope with stress. They’re all about long-term revitalization and maintaining well-being.
Mushrooms are a functional food and can be consumed daily for optimal benefits. We recommend 4 ml a day for consistent results. Since mushroom supplementation is personal and subjective, feel free to adjust the dosage based on your preference.
Mushrooms have a tough cell wall made of chitin which humans can't break down naturally. To access the beneficial compounds in mushrooms, an extraction process is required. At The Spore Lords we use a dual-extraction method with Organic Kosher Alcohol (190-proof, pharmaceutical-grade) and filtered water to pull out the most beneficial compounds beta-glucans (water-soluble) and triterpenoids (alcohol-soluble). This ensures you get the maximum potency and bioavailability from our mushrooms.
The changes can be subtle and vary from person to person. Some individuals notice immune system support, a sense of general wellness, and increased energy after just two weeks of consistent use. Mushrooms are adaptogens and their full benefits are typically seen over time with consistent use. Mushrooms help to build resilience and support long-term health.
The best time really depends on your personal needs:
- Evening: Some people prefer to take mushrooms like Reishi to enjoy its calming effects before bed.
- Pre-Exercise: If you're looking for a boost, Cordyceps is great to take before a workout for its energizing effects.
There's no wrong time, just find what works best for you!
While our mushrooms are natural and packed with health benefits, we are not legally able to provide medical advice. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or illness. If you have any health conditions or concerns, we recommend consulting your holistic healthcare practitioner or functional doctor to ensure our products are right for you.
We recommend taking 4 ml daily of our tinctures. This dosage range is based on functional doses commonly used in clinical studies for optimal results.
All of our tinctures have a shelf life of three years.
Absolutely! Our mushroom tinctures can be used conjointly without any adverse side effects.
Recommend usage:
1. Follow the recommendation dosage with each tincture.
2. Create tincture combinations specifically for your needs.
3. Track the results and modify accordingly.
It's normal for tinctures to vary in color from batch to batch! Since we work with real, natural mushrooms and don’t standardize our extracts, slight color differences can occur due to factors like moisture levels, humidity, and the unique nature of each mushroom harvest.
We intentionally avoid standardizing our products because doing so could compromise the integrity of the beneficial compounds. Our approach is to create a natural, full-spectrum product that stays true to the richness of the mushrooms, including their color and concentration.
