Immune Intelligence Cacao Elixir

Here’s why it works so beautifully: cacao is what we call a carrier. It opens circulation, enhances absorption, and helps deliver nutrients, minerals, and plant compounds deeper into your bloodstream. When you combine it with herbs or mushrooms, you’re creating a kind of botanical synergy… where everything you add becomes more bioavailable.

We’re combining Mystical Mushroom Ceremonial Cacao with a simple herbal infusion to create a drink that doesn’t just taste amazing - it truly supports your system on multiple levels.

Mystical Mushroom Cacao provides tremendous support to key systems in the body. It includes eleven potent mushrooms - reishi, chaga, turkey tail, lion’s mane, cordyceps, maitake, shiitake, oyster, poria, phellinus, and tremella - all known for supporting immunity, cognition, and longevity. The mushrooms are 1:1 water extracted for bioavailability, and grown outdoors in their favorite substrates. Together, they form a matrix of resilience for the body and mind.

To amplify that even further, we’re adding a tea base with ginger, turmeric, and black pepper (for circulation and inflammation support) and a touch of cinnamon for warmth and balance. The combination is grounding, spicy, and deeply nourishing - perfect for mornings, cozy evenings, or anytime your energy feels low.

The Recipe

Tea Base:

• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

• ½ tsp ground turmeric

• Pinch of black pepper (to activate the turmeric)

• 6–8 oz water
  
  (Optional: add mullein, or elecampane root for extra lung support)
