The short answer
Check the mushroom dose per gummy (many are small), whether it's fruiting body extract, the sugar per serving, and for third-party testing. A capsule or powder often gives you more mushroom for less sugar.Check the dose
Gummies have limited room. Some contain only a small amount of mushroom extract per gummy, so look at the dose per serving and how many gummies a serving is.
Fruiting body or mycelium?
As with any mushroom supplement, labels that specify fruiting body extract are a better sign. See our mushroom supplement guide.
Sugar
Most gummies contain sugar. If you'd take several a day, it adds up.
Third-party testing
Look for testing seals and products that disclose testing for heavy metals.
Gummies vs. other formats
Capsules and powders usually deliver more mushroom per serving with less sugar. Gummies win on convenience and taste.
