What To Worry About Taking Amanita Gummies

Amanita Muscaria isn’t exactly a new discovery.  The famous red-capped, white polka-dotted mushroom can be spotted from a mile away, and it also has been a staple of cultural ceremonies around the world for at least the last several hundred years, at least.  Still, only now is it really emerging on the market in all kinds of product forms, all while being federally legal despite its legendary psychedelic effects through its key compound, muscimol.

Now that we’re seeing an influx of amanita mushroom products being manufactured, it’s time to cover what to look for when shopping for the different product types you will be seeing more of.  And, with gummies being the most in-demand amanita product out there, we need to talk a little bit about ingredients, so that way, you know which ingredients you should avoid when shopping for gummies.

What are Amanita Mushroom Gummies?

Basically, an amanita mushroom gummy is simply a gummy candy infused with amanita extract.  It’s really no different from cannabis gummies, except instead of containing cannabis extracts, the active ingredient is an extract of amanita muscaria mushrooms.  Amanita mushrooms are psychedelic, and like we said, they get their properties from muscimol – a compound that you might consider as a cousin to psilocybin.  

Muscimol is a bit more sedating than psilocybin, since it works on GABA receptors rather than serotonin receptors, with the former being more associated with the nervous system’s ability to handle stress, and even maintain a sense of inner calm.  Still, in high doses, muscimol, like psilocybin, can cause psychedelic effects, including visual hallucinations, changes in perception of time and space, and deep insights that can be quite spiritual.

The Basics on Ingredients You May Encounter in Amanita Mushroom Gummies

Amanita mushroom gummies are going to contain a variety of ingredients, and some of them are better than others.  Not all companies aim to make the cleanest, healthiest gummies out there, so let’s offer a general list of what you should and shouldn’t find in gummies.  

“Good” Ingredients:

• Amanita Muscaria: Again, there should be a high enough concentration of the key active ingredient in every amanita gummy.
• Gelatin or Pectin: Gelatin (animal-derived) and pectin (fruit-derived) are two ingredients used to give gummies their gummy texture, and thus, are perfectly safe to consume.
• Flavoring: Of course, flavoring is a key part of making any gummy.  And, as we all know, the more natural, the better.
• Citric Acid (And Similar Natural Preservatives): Citric acid and similar natural acids act as natural preservatives, that keep the amanita gummy fresh for as long as possible.
• Cannabinoids: Some companies may add cannabinoid extracts to their mushroom gummies, and if they do, that should be clearly stated on the product label.
• Other Mushrooms: Some gummies contain “mushroom blends,” which combine amanita extract with the extracts of other, often nonintoxicating mushrooms.
• Misc. Active Ingredients: You may encounter other active ingredients, like certain herbs or botanicals which enhance the effects of the amanita product, and again, this should be clearly indicated on the label to avoid being misleading.

“Bad” Ingredients:

• Synthetic Preservatives: Many synthetic preservatives, like potassium sorbate, BHA, and BHT, have been linked to some concerning health problems, including potential carcinogenic effects.
• Most Artificial Flavoring: There are thousands of artificial flavoring ingredients out there, many of which are not considered healthy for the body in large amounts.
• Fillers/Additives: Again, avoid amanita gummies that contain loads of synthetic ingredients that don’t actually contribute to the quality of the product itself.
• High-Glycemic Sweeteners: There are different kinds of sweeteners that can be used for amanita mushrooms gummies, and some are healthier than others.  For instance, high-fructose corn syrup is extremely inexpensive, which is why so many companies gravitate toward it.  However, it’s also linked to diabetes and other health problems.  Instead, you should look for “clean” sweeteners that are low-glycemic and natural, like date sugar, beet sugar, cane sugar, agave, etc.
• Unnatural Active Ingredients: This is something that’s more common on the black market than in legit retailers, but you may come across products claiming to be amanita gummies, which actually contain a low concentration of amanita extract, and a high concentration of an unnatural ingredient that mimics the effects of amanita gummies  – like a synthetic sedative that tricks people into thinking that it’s the amanita that’s making them feel calm.
• General High Concentration of Fillers: “Fillers” refer to products that don’t serve any purpose other than “filling out” the formula – basically diluting the active, more expensive ingredients with something that’s really cheap and bulks up the product.  Look through the list of ingredients in gummies, and then see if there are lots of ingredients that don’t actually add value to the experience you’re going to have with them.
• Allergens: If you do happen to be allergic to certain ingredients, you’ll want to take the extra time to look through what’s in a amanita gummy formula, as while certain allergens aren’t necessarily “bad,” they can cause negative effects to your health.  This includes certain types of sweeteners, flavoring, or binders that help create the gummy texture.

Overall, you should never buy amanita gummies from a company that doesn’t disclose the ingredients that they use extensively.  Companies should make this information easy to find both on their website, and also on the label of the product.  Companies that withhold this information can, in fact, be deliberately trying to hide just how low-quality their gummies are, and with so many premium amanita gummies available today, there’s no reason to settle for a shady company.

Make Sure You Know What You’re Consuming When Buying Your Amanita Gummies

As amanita mushroom gummies become more popular, you can expect to see more and more companies releasing their own unique version of gummies infused with amanita extract.  But, never buy a product before reading the ingredients, to make sure that you’re not consuming something questionable, or even harmful.  Fortunately, the amanita mushroom vapes, gummies, baked goods, and more at Binoid are all made with clean, safe ingredients, and are totally free of harmful additives and fillers.
