Purica Complete 360 Stress Relief & Immune Support (100 g) is the powder form of Complete 360: eight organic mushrooms and Sensoril ashwagandha, milled together into a 100 g glass jar. It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80068987. Its recommended uses are:
Source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.
Provides antioxidants that help reduce the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
What is in the powder
Purica lists 86 mg of each mushroom per dose: sun mushroom (Agaricus blazei), red reishi, maitake, lion’s mane, chaga, shiitake, cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) and turkey tail. Sensoril ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), a standardized extract of the Ayurvedic root, completes the blend. There is no sweetener, flavour or filler.
The mushrooms are certified organic, full spectrum and grown in Canada on organic plant material. Purica micronizes them to 1 to 10 microns, a milling step that breaks open the chitin cell walls and leaves a fine powder that disperses in a drink, with no solvent extraction.
How to take it
The label dose for adults is 1/4 teaspoon twice a day. Stir it into coffee, tea, warm milk or a smoothie; the taste is earthy with a light bitterness from the reishi and ashwagandha. Consult a practitioner first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or take blood thinners, and stop if an allergic reaction occurs.
Powder or capsules
Complete 360 also comes in capsules, 65 mg of each ingredient per capsule, taken at 3 a day. The powder has a higher amount of each ingredient per dose and a lower cost per gram, and it suits people who dislike capsules. The capsules are easier when you are away from your kitchen.
Who it suits
Adults who already make a daily coffee, tea or smoothie and want several mushrooms in it, and anyone who would rather buy one jar than eight separate mushroom products.
How Purica makes it
Purica grows the eight mushrooms indoors in Canada from sterile tissue cultures, on organic plant material, and sends each batch to a third-party lab for purity and potency testing before milling. The blend is packed in an amber glass jar with a metal lid and labelled Made in Canada.
