Double Extracted Birch Polypore – Digestive Support with Depth

Most mushroom products focus on the same few ingredients.

That leaves powerful options overlooked.

Birch Polypore (Fomitopsis betulina) has been traditionally used for digestive support and immune function, offering a different angle than more common functional mushrooms.

This tincture delivers a full-spectrum extract, built for gut balance and overall resilience.

Ingredients & Transparency

Active Ingredient:

  • Fomitopsis betulina (Birch Polypore Mushroom)

Extraction Method:

  • Double extracted (hot water + alcohol)

Base:

  • Organic, gluten-free alcohol
  • Fresh living spring water

Alcohol Content:

  • 45% ABV

Why Double Extraction Matters

Birch Polypore contains compounds that require different extraction methods:

  • Water extraction pulls out polysaccharides (digestive + immune support)
  • Alcohol extraction pulls out additional bioactive compounds

Most products only use one method.

This uses both—meaning:

  • More complete digestive support
  • Better immune interaction
  • Higher potency per dose

👉 The alcohol is part of the extraction—not a filler.

What It Supports

  • Digestive system health
  • Gut balance
  • Immune function
  • General wellness and resilience

Why Liquid Tincture Beats Capsules

Capsules:

  • Slower absorption
  • Dependent on digestion
  • Often underpowered

Liquid tincture:

  • Faster delivery
  • Higher bioavailability
  • Adjustable dosing

How It Compares to Competitors

Mushroom Powders

  • Often incomplete extraction
  • Lower absorption
  • Less targeted support

Capsule Supplements

  • Slower onset
  • Less flexible dosing
  • Often generic blends

Four Sigmatic Products

  • Strong brand presence
  • Focus on mainstream mushrooms
  • Rarely include niche functional species like Birch Polypore

Double Extracted Birch Polypore Tincture

  • Full-spectrum extraction
  • 45% ABV for optimal compound extraction
  • Targets digestive + immune support
  • Positioned outside oversaturated categories

Who This Is For

  • People focused on digestive health
  • Those looking to support gut balance naturally
  • Anyone wanting less common, high-value mushrooms
  • Users who prioritize quality extracts over mainstream blends

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Do You Use Fruit Body or Mycelium?

All of our medical mushroom tinctures are made entirely from sustainably wild-foraged or organically homegrown mushroom fruit bodies, ensuring the highest potency. We use NO filler products such as mycelium mass.

What Extraction Methods Do You Use?

We use the traditional Taoist method of double and triple extraction ensuring the highest potency. This process unlocks the maximum amount of bio-available medicine compared to any other technique, i.e., powders, capsules, etc. Our double extraction process is as follows:

  • We use low temperature dehydration of respectfully foraged or homegrown mushroom fruit bodies.
  • We then make an extract consisting of four ounces of dried mushrooms to one half gallon pure alcohol for two or more weeks.
  • Next, we cold press and separate the mushroom fruit from the alcohol.
  • Then we add the mushroom fruit body to two-and-a-half gallons of living spring water that is boiled until half a gallon of liquid remains, resulting in a decoction (concentrated essence). The decoction is then cooled.
  • The mushroom fruit is then separated from the liquid by cold press.
  • Finally, the alcohol extract is combined with the water decoction for full spectrum benefits. 

Our triple extraction process for Chaga includes all of the above with an additional low temperature (160° F) water decoction for 8 hours.

There is approximately 100 mg of full spectrum mushroom medicine in 3 droppers of extract.

What's the Alcohol Content and Type?

To maximize the bio-availability of our medicines, we maintain approximately 45% alcohol by volume. Alcohol is the essential agent for mushroom extraction and is needed to unlock the benefits of polysaccharides, polyphenols, carotenoids, and peptides, etc. We believe that the Taoists created alcohol for this very process.

We use 190 proof organic, gluten free corn alcohol.

Will continue taking long-term . . .

My first purchase of this Yellow Dock & Dandelion Tonic was through Etsy (that is how I found Running Waters Homestead). I have since purchased two more bottles. I started taking this tonic every day, three times a day, for six weeks, which boosted my ferritin significantly. Now I take the tonic three times weekly, three times a day on those days. I feel so much better, and many peripheral health problems have disappeared. I especially like the fact that this is an extract, not a tincture, and the dandelions are sourced fresh from the homestead, which is in a neighboring state to me. Moreover, this formula has many minerals and vitamins besides just iron.

Mushrooms: The Foundation of Life

For millennia, mushrooms have been used as staple sources of food and medicine. Recently, with modern scientific breakthroughs, we now know just how important these ancient traditions truly are. Mushrooms just may be the key ingredients to long term, full-body health.

Mushrooms are adaptogens. They must be taken regularly over a long period of time in order to receive any noticeable benefits. It is also important to incorporate a dose of soluble vitamin C with your mushroom medicines. This helps the absorption of polysaccharides, increasing bioavailability. The easiest and most potent way to ingest medicinal mushrooms is in traditional double extracted form. The double extraction is necessary because it unlocks both the water-soluble (polysaccharides) and alcohol soluble (terpenoids and phenolics) components, making a full-spectrum medicine. It is also easy to make medicinal teas simply from chunked dried mushrooms. Cooking gourmet mushrooms in food can prove to be very beneficial as well. We invite you to start enjoying mushrooms today and everyday for a lifetime of good health.
