OneVit Mushroom Complex Product Information
OneVit Mushroom Complex is a nutritional supplement containing concentrated extracts derived from the Shiitake, Maitake, Lion’s Mane, Reishi and Cordyceps sinensis species of mushrooms, in addition to zinc and vitamin D3.
The mushroom extracts in OneVit Mushroom Complex are rich in polysaccharides, a type of carbohydrate that helps prevent inflammation, aids immune response modulation, contributes to cognitive health and promotes gut health.
In addition, Cordyceps sinensis contains mannitol, a diuretic sugar alcohol that helps to reduce inflammation and maintain cellular fluid balance, as well as adenosine, a compound that also has anti-inflammatory effects and aids blood circulation.
OneVit Mushroom Complex also contains zinc citrate, a highly absorbable form of zinc that promotes the production and function of immune cells, as well as vitamin D3, which contributes to mood by aiding the production of serotonin.

Polysaccharides are a type of complex carbohydrate found in certain species of mushrooms that help stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory substances, such as cytokines. This mechanism subsequently activates other immune cells to formulate efficient immune responses.
Certain polysaccharides, such as β-glucans polysaccharides, also strengthen the body’s response to future infections by triggering intracellular signalling pathways that enhance the immune cells' ability to recognise and respond to pathogens.
This process results in a phenomenon known as ‘trained immunity’, giving immune cells the ability to provide a faster and more effective response upon re-exposure to the same or similar pathogens in the future.
OneVit Mushroom Complex contains extracts from five species of mushrooms that contain a minimum of 25% to 30% polysaccharides to help strengthen the immune system.
Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol naturally present in certain species of mushrooms, such as Cordyceps sinensis.
Mannitol has been found to help maintain the osmotic balance of cells, which refers to the regulation of fluid levels within cells.
This mechanism helps keep cells hydrated and subsequently supports enzyme activity necessary for energy generation.
OneVit Mushroom Complex contains a 6:1 extract from the Cordyceps sinensis species of mushroom, providing a minimum of 18% mannitol to contribute to the body’s energy levels.
Adenosine is an organic compound necessary for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source for living cells.
Increasing the intake of adenosine by supplementing the diet with OneVit Mushroom Complex can help raise ATP levels in the body, increasing daily energy levels and contributing to physical performance as well as cognitive function.
- Stronger immune responses - Shiitake mushrooms contain a high concentration of a type of polysaccharide known as lentinan, which has been found to activate macrophages that help the body fight infections. Moreover, Maitake and Reishi mushrooms both contain a high concentration of β-glucans - a type of polysaccharide that helps regulate immune responses by stimulating the activity of immune cells, such as T-cells and macrophages. In addition, zinc citrate promotes the development and optimal function of immune cells to further enhance immune strength.
- Improved energy levels - The polysaccharides in OneVit Mushroom Complex provide a source of energy for cells by stimulating the immune system and supporting the body's metabolic processes. They do this by enhancing cellular activity and promoting the efficient use of energy, which helps to improve energy levels. The Cordyceps sinensis mushroom extract in OneVit Mushroom Complex is also a natural source of adenosine - a compound that supports mitochondrial function and aids the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for cell respiration.
- Better cognitive performance - Lion’s Mane mushrooms contain compounds called hericenones and erinacines that help stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is vital for the growth and maintenance of neurons, which in turn promotes key cognitive functions, such as memory and focus.
- Balanced mood - Lion’s Mane, Reishi and Cordyceps sinensis mushrooms are considered natural adaptogens that aid the body’s ability to optimally respond to stress and anxiety. In addition to providing concentrated extracts of these mushrooms, OneVit Mushroom Complex contains vitamin D3 to aid the production of serotonin for a balanced mood. These ingredients collectively aid stress management and contribute to a balanced mood.
The recommended intake of OneVit Mushroom Complex is two capsules per day.
The time it takes to notice the desired effects of OneVit Mushroom Complex can vary depending on:
- Metabolism - Individuals with a faster metabolism are likely to experience the positive effects of OneVit Mushroom Complex sooner, due to their ability to absorb and utilise the ingredients in this supplement faster.
- Diet - A nutrient-dense, balanced diet can support the optimal absorption of vitamins and minerals. For example, vitamin D is fat-soluble and hence requires the consumption of adequate dietary fat for optimal absorption. Therefore, consuming healthy fats with meals can help speed up the time it takes to experience some of the positive effects of OneVit Mushroom Complex.
- Consistent usage - Taking the recommended dose of two capsules of OneVit Mushroom Complex consistently each day can reduce the time it takes to experience the health benefits of this supplement.
OneVit Mushroom Complex is unsuitable for individuals with a soy allergy, as it is formulated using a Cordyceps sinensis extract that contains soya.
OneVit Mushroom Complex is generally suitable for all individuals, including vegetarians and vegans, except for individuals who are allergic to soya.
Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding and/or taking medication should consult a healthcare professional before taking OneVit Mushroom Complex.
The time it takes to notice the desired effects of OneVit Mushroom Complex can vary depending on:
- OneVit Vitamin C - Vitamin C supports the production of white blood cells and strengthens immune responses, while the five mushroom extracts and zinc citrate in OneVit Mushroom Complex support the immune system. Therefore, OneVit Vitamin C and OneVit Mushroom Complex can be taken together to help improve immune strength.
- OneVit Ashwagandha KSM-66® - Ashwagandha is a natural adaptogen that helps promote relaxation and manage stress by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and lowering blood cortisol levels. This mechanism complements the adaptogenic effects of the mushroom extracts in OneVit Mushroom Complex to help promote relaxation.
- OneVit B Complex - The B vitamins in OneVit B Complex, particularly vitamins B6 and B12, aid the synthesis of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, memory and cognitive function. These benefits align with the cognitive and mood support provided by OneVit Mushroom Complex.
