New Spagyric : Green Coffee Bean
We’re pretty sure most of you are familiar with this plant in its more common form- roasted and brewed. But green, unroasted coffee has some interesting healing and tonic properties that we wanted to explore.
Green coffee has caffeine in it, sometimes more than roasted, and so it is a pick-me-up and energy booster, also increasing [...]

Shroomtastic : new Somalixir Formula for Immunity
Shroomtastic is our newest Somalixir formula, and was inspired by my own struggle with seasonal allergies.
