Teelixir loves their 10:1 extracts however sometimes you just want to have the whole food source for a variety of reasons that vary from person to person. The purists want everything. The mushroomy bits in the 10:1 and all the mundane stuff like fibre which for others is not so important. Again, it’s a matter of personal preference. for the beginner to the world of mushrooms, it is a great way to get your feet wet. When you take it for the first time it can be a gentler approach. But hey even if you are a seasoned user you’ll love having the option depending on how the mood takes you.
