When it comes to true wellness, it all starts with the gut—that’s where balance, strength, and vitality begin. And with *Viva Vagus*, we’ve tapped into the ancient wisdom of mushrooms like Chaga, Turkey Tail, and Reishi, combined with fermented glutamine and black pepper, to create a blend that’s all about optimizing gut health, supporting small organ strength, and nourishing your nervous system, with a special focus on the vagus nerve.
With Viva Vagus, you’re not just supporting your gut—you’re tuning your whole system, bringing balance to your vagus nerve, and finding that deep, centered calm that leads to true vitality. Let your body reconnect, restore, and thrive.

Viva Vagus - Immunity | Gut | Brain.
Turkey Tail 250 MG Chaga 250 MG Reishi 300 MG Magnesium Glycinate 200 MG Glutamine (Fermented) 200 MG Piperine (95%) 10 MG Total [2 Capsules] 1410 MG Reishi, known as the “Mushroom of Immortality,” is a powerhouse for both the gut and the mind. Its bioactive compounds, like triterpenoids and polysaccharides, work to soothe gut inflammation, support beneficial bacteria, and even regulate the autonomic nervous system. That’s right—it helps calm the sympathetic overactivity we all feel from time to time, especially when life gets a little wild. And when you’re regulating that vagus nerve, you’re tapping into a calmer, more balanced state, lowering cortisol and easing stress right at the root.
Then there’s Chaga, the “King of Mushrooms.” Its triterpenoids and polysaccharides are like ancient guardians of your gut, boosting your microbiome and protecting the intestinal barrier. Chaga also knows a thing or two about calming inflammation, which in turn helps activate the vagus nerve, bringing you into that parasympathetic state of rest and restore. It’s not just about gut health—it’s about your whole system finding its balance again.
And let’s not forget Turkey Tail. This vibrant mushroom is rich in polysaccharopeptide like PSP and PSK, which are like food for your gut’s good bacteria, helping to maintain balance and gut barrier integrity. By improving gut health, Turkey Tail directly supports the gut-brain axis, making sure your vagus nerve is humming along, reducing inflammation, and regulating stress responses like a well-tuned instrument.
Now, fermented glutamine? That’s the next level. This bioavailable form of glutamine does wonders for your gut, enhancing intestinal barrier integrity, reducing inflammation, and modulating the gut’s immune system. It’s a key player in maintaining the balance of your gut microbiome, which is essential for both overall gut health and the gut-brain axis. With emerging research suggesting fermented glutamine might even outperform its non-fermented counterpart, this ingredient is the foundation for gut resilience.
Fermented glutamine rounds out the formula, fueling the gut lining and supporting the small organs in doing their best work, while black pepper enhances absorption, making sure every nutrient gets where it needs to go.*
Take 2-4 capsules daily – Everyone's needs are unique, so finding the perfect timing for your daily boost is key!
Finding Your Perfect Timing
Morning Motivation:
Many people find that taking the supplement in the morning helps set the tone for a productive day. This is an ideal time to fuel your brain and body with the nutrients needed to stay sharp and focused from sunrise to sunset.
Afternoon Focus:
If you tend to experience an afternoon slump, consider taking your dose in the early afternoon. This can help you maintain steady energy levels and mental clarity. For best results, take 30-60 minutes after lunch to avoid any interference with digestion and ensure smooth absorption.
Double Dose:
Need an extra edge? You can split your intake by taking one dose in the morning and another in the afternoon. This approach is perfect for those with a demanding schedule or who need sustained focus and energy throughout the day. Just be sure to listen to your body and adjust the dosage accordingly.
Consistency is Key
To truly experience the benefits, find the timing that best suits your schedule and stick to it consistently for 4-6 weeks. This allows your body to adjust and maximize the effects of the formula.

Ensuring the highest quality is our top priority. By partnering with a local Canadian grower we are not only supporting our local market but ensuring consistency and superior quality.
The Process
The mushrooms undertake a unique growth process the result of years of research and collaboration with expert mushroom cultivators. A developed method that we believe produces the highest quality mushroom powder on the market, verified by third-party lab tests focusing on key bioactive compounds.
Superfood Substrate | Beginning with a nutrient-rich superfood substrate, which serves as the foundation for mushroom growth.
Mushroom Spawn | Next, the mushroom spawn is introduced, which begins to grow mycelium—the network of fungal threads that spread throughout the substrate.
Fermentation & Enzyme Production | As the mycelium grows, it ferments the substrate, producing vital digestive and immune-boosting enzymes.
Fruit Body Formation | For species like Lion’s Mane and Reishi, the mycelium eventually gives rise to fruiting bodies, which are the visible parts of the mushroom.
Full Spectrum Harvest | We capture all parts of the mushroom—mycelium, fruiting bodies, and the beneficial enzymes—drying and milling them into a potent, full-spectrum superfood powder. This ensures you get the complete benefits of the mushroom without any fillers.
Preserving Potency | To maintain the integrity of the bioactive compounds, drying and milling processes are done at low temperatures, preventing the loss of key nutrients that can occur with high-heat methods.
By refining every step of this process, we ensure the mushroom powders deliver the full range of health benefits, backed by science and unmatched in quality.
