FAQ | Hyperion Herbs

It’s my first time on this site - where do I start?

If it is your first time visiting this site or researching herbs in general, it is important to really read into each product and see what resonates with you.  Write down things that stand out, or any questions you may have, and for general questions, feel free to email us at info@hyperionherbs.com.  If you are attempting to treat a condition, are wondering about medicinal interactions, or need health advice, please consult a medical professional before proceeding with the purchase. Also, please note we are only retailers of the herbs, not medical professionals.

What are tonic herbs?

Tonic herbs are an elite class of herbs used by both Western and Chinese herbal medicine systems. The term “tonic” generally refers to food-based substances that are nutritionally dense and more potently nourish specific organs of the body than other herbs. Therefore, they are intended to be consumed regularly on and off for long periods of time to build up and protect these organs while accelerating biological human potential.

What are these powders?

The powders and capsules contain concentrated extract of tonic herbs. For example, our he shou wu is a 20:1 concentration, which means 20 lbs of the raw herb created 1 pound of our extract, making it 20x more potent than a single extraction concoction.

The extracts on hyperionherbs.com are dual extracts made using hot water and alcohol, and then tested at all stages to ensure they contain the beneficial compounds you’re looking for. High quality extraction ensures optimal potency, bioavailability, absorption, and digestion.

Can the different extracts be used together or combined?

If you’re just starting out, it’s best to stick with one herb at a time to really get to know it and get a sense for what it’s doing for you specifically. However, all the herbs I sell are safe to combine, and many go quite nicely together. For example - the mushroom extracts are delicious when mixed into gynostemma tea.

It can be interesting to mix and match different herbs together once you are familiar with their individual properties and effects on your body. Just take note that the combination of herbs may cause them to take on new energies and feelings, and as always, consult a health or wellness professional with formula questions unique to your bod

How do I know what products to take together / pair well together?

Again, all the herbs I sell are safe to combine with one another. If you’d like a more in-depth guide to herbs that pair well together, you can get a full PDF guide when you join my email list. To join, just enter your email into the footer at the bottom of this page, where it says “Join the Hyperion Family"

Do I need to take tonic herbs daily?

Tonic herbs serve as a helpful adjunct to things like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good sleep. As such, they’re equally fine to take on a regular basis. The easiest comparison is to think of it like exercise, some on a regular basis is good, but you don’t want to overdo it and taking a break now and again can be helpful too.

Do you ship internationally

Yes! If you are unsure about your location, feel free to email us with your inquiries at info@hyperionherbs.com.

Do all of your products clear customs?

Most of them do, however, if you have any questions regarding your specific customs department, it is best to contact them directly.

What carriers do you use for shipping?

For domestic and international orders, we USPS. If you need a reference number for your order once it reaches its international destination, please send us an email, and we can retrieve that for you.

Do you offer free shipping or free samples?

Not at this time.

Where are you located? Where do your products ship from?

All of our products ship from Savannah, Georgia.

What is the difference between the powders and the pills/capsules? Is one better than the other?

The capsules are actually vegetarian capsules filled with concentrated extract.  In other words, both the extracts and the capsules contain the exact same thing. For example, the Lion’s Mane Capsules contain the same extract that is used in the Lion’s Mane Extract. It just comes down to whether you prefer to have a powdered extract or if it is more convenient for you to take a capsule

How should I store your products and keep them fresh? In the refrigerator or out of the refrigerator?

The products are best stored in a cool, dark, dry place. They do not require refrigeration. Refrigeration can actually be harmful as it can introduce moisture to the powder which is not a good thing.

How long are the herbs good for?

We mark our products individually with the date of manufacture, but if they are kept sealed, they will last at least two years from the purchase date. Their longevity mostly depends on how they are kept.

Does the extract powder have significant calories or carbohydrates?

No, the extract powders are pure herbal extract with no fillers or additives, as a result, the calorie and carbohydrate content is negligible or next to nonexistent.

Can you tell me how to use the product? I’m so curious!

There are many ways to use the extracts. You can take them just by putting an amount in your mouth and swishing it around with water before swallowing. Or you can add them directly to hot water to make a tea, add them to juices, smoothies, elixirs, tea, milk, etc. They can even be added to ice cream, yogurt, oat meal, etc (really!) and you can even make chocolate and baked goods with them.  The possibilities are endless.  For some amazing recipes, check out the blog.

Are there any sales or coupons running?

Yes, we send out discounts on a regular basis to the e-mail list, so make sure you are signed up for that and you’ll get an email once or twice a month with a discount code. To join, just enter your email into the footer at the bottom of this page, where it says “Join the Hyperion Family.”

Can I use multiple promotion codes at the same time? 

No, discounts are limited to only one promo code at a time.

Do you offer bulk/wholesale options?

Unfortunately, we do not offer any wholesale options at this time. We do offer discounted rates for 16oz/bulk purchases of some extracts. You can see this on the individual product pages.

What is a concentrated extract? Are all the extracts on the site concentrated?

Yes, the concentration of the extracts ranges anywhere from 8:1 to 20:1. This means 8-20 pounds of raw herb are distilled down into 1 pound of pure, potent extract. 

Are your products organic?

Yes - all of our products are grown organically, extracted purely, and secured in their respective packaging without the usage of any fillers.

How many servings in a typical 4oz bag of extract?

If you consume ½ teaspoon a day, you would get 57 servings per bag. This makes the value and cost per serving per bag extremely attractive, with Cost Per Serving ranging around $0.70-0.80 cents per serving on average.

How does it taste? Is the taste pleasant?

The taste will vary depending on the product. Overall, though, it’s important to remember these are herbal extracts, so they will primarily taste like the herb themselves. In general, herbs like Reishi can be quite bitter, but other herbs like Chaga or He Shou Wu are extremely delicious. If you don’t particularly care for the taste, you can simply add the extract to coffee or a smoothie, which makes the taste much more subtle and sometimes unnoticeable. Or simply opt for capsules instead :) Overall though the vast majority of herbs I sell taste quite good.

Customer photo review of He Shou Wu Extract

I’m very impressed with Hyperion Herbs’ He Shou Wu Extract. I have been a customer of Hyperion Herb's for almost a decade because of the quality and attention to traditional preparation purity and sourcing. For anyone specifically looking for a high-quality prepared He Shou Wu extract, this is an excellent choice. Potent, pure, traditionally prepared — exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended!

We make our own mushroom mix with Lions Mane, Chaga, Cordyceps, Reishi, and a little Ceylon cinnamon to round out the flavor. Better quality for the same price as the name brand stuff. Fabulous!

Customer photo review of Duanwood Reishi Extract

So I've shared a lot of reviews of Hyperion Herbs and hesitated to do so again. Of course, you know they work in small doses or you wouldn't be reading this. But after many years of taking Duanwood Reishi and appreciating the support it provides, I had another positive experience. This time, it was taking a larger than my usual dose (3 caps/day) as a strong tea, and I slept better than I had in months. I now believe this Reishi and the Purple Reishi can both accomplish that feat.

Customer photo review of Cordyceps Extract

Along with the cordyceps we have the chaga, lions mane, turkey tail, gymnastemma, shizandra, turkey tail, and reishi. I mix this into my green tea every morning. I went without it for a month. Drank coffee. It was very clear. I was crashing in the afternoons, stomach was uneasy. Now I’m back on the shroom boom and it’s back to business. No crash and my mental sharpness is strong.

I keep a 4-Pack stocked in this jar at all times. 3/4TSP steeped with some honey before my bedtime meditation and I sleep like a fucking King. Wake up feeling rested and restored. It has been breaking open my cold heart and allowing me to feel what I need to feel, like every human should.

Customer video review of Black Maca Extract

I’ve lived an active life for as long as I can remember—been training since I was a teenager, and at 57 I’m still pushing myself hard. Running stairs with a weighted pack, lifting, staying strong—I plan to keep going until I can’t anymore. That’s why I’m so selective about what I put in my body. I grow much of my own food, I don’t touch fast food or alcohol, and I treat my body like a temple. When it comes to supplements, there’s a lot of hype out there, and honestly, a lot of products just don’t deliver. Hyperion Herbs’ Black Maca Root is different. From the very first time I took it, I could feel it working in my system. The energy boost is real—so real that I recommend not taking it before evening workouts because it will keep you going. It’s also great for libido, no question about that. I’m more than halfway through my first order, and I can honestly say this is an incredible product. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and it does exactly what it says it will do. I absolutely love it, and I’ll definitely be buying it again.

Customer photo review of Gynostemma Extract

This Gynostemma extract is really potent. I can feel that calm, clean energy and especially when combined with Cordyceps, it gives you tons of energy. I'm thinking of going for some Black Ginger next to add to this stack. But Gynostemma is so calming and balancing.

One of the best Duanwood reishi brands out there. I've suggested it to friends and they like it, too.

Duanwood Reishi Extract

Customer photo review of Duanwood Reishi Extract

Hands down the best reishi product I’ve had since my intro to herbals. Reishi was my 2nd herb to cordyceps at 20 years old, and mannnnn recall I did not make a mistake choosing it… Over the years I’ve had some brands that flipped between quality and the promises. Some brands don’t respect the nature of Reishi and use its name in vain for the sake of “ superfood “ promotions. I can testify it’s more than a superfood that is just on a shelf waiting to be added to your smoothie or to enhance your meditations…. It’s an ally, a strong spiritual fungal ally that is unique and REVEALING…. With Hyperion herbs duanwood reishi, my days are very smooth ( I take in the morning ), my fluidity is back, my problem solving is much more fluid as well as my awareness. Like Brandon has repeated in many of his videos across his channel, when we come from a place of balance and peace, our energy and efforts are genuinely stronger and intentional in the long term. My sleep has improved massively, my lucid dreaming is off the chart present, I also am greatful that Reishi works all the treasures in the human body. But do remember, be patient…. These things do not work overnight unless you are super sensitive to herbs… these take time and are living energies we are ingesting, respect them and let them slowly work into you. Thank you Brandon Gilbert for your contribution to herbs and giving us an array of positive tools to work with. Sincerely, Sky P.s THERE WILL BE MORE OF MEEEEEE :)

Customer video review of Duanwood Reishi Extract

My husband and I have been drinking rishi, Chaga, and lions mane from Hyperion for 7 years now and recently added cordyceps to the mix. We only drink a small amount each night but it goes a long way! My mental health improved significantly as soon as I started drinking it. If I get out of the habit of drinking it for more than a week and a half, my anxiety gets very noticeably worse. This mushroom tea has been such an amazing blessing in my life and worth every penny I have spent on it! I highly recommend it to everyone!

Customer photo review of Cordyceps Extract

I've been suffering from chronic fatigue since I was a child. Everything I've tried has not made a major difference for me. I decided to try the Cordyceps to see if it would help, and it was the first time I felt a major difference with the fatigue. I was able to do more than usual without getting a fatigue attack that would last for days, and I was just taking 1/4 tsp in hot water daily. I LOVE Cordyceps! I highly recommend! Thank you Hyperion Herbs for providing such a great, high quality product that actually works!

Customer photo review of Mushroom Coffee

Wow! I've tried a bunch of different mushroom coffee blends that I've found at the grocery store. But none of them even come close to being as good as this one from Hyperion Herbs. I've been taking these herbs for years. And now this is the easiest (and tastiest) way to get them all at once. This has quickly become my new favorite way to start my mornings.

Customer video review of Nettle Root Extract

I was not sure what to expect, I've never used nettle before. I was pleasantly surprised at the urine flow pressure and my ability to hold it when I'm sleeping. But this was not really an issue as I'm 35 right now, the difference is negligible, could almost be confused with placeblo. I will say though the ability for this to dissolve in water is wild, I did not know this was possible, but very pleasant. I initially opened the bag expecting to smell something a little more floral than root but root was what I got, when heated and dissolved it tastes very nice, like a tea I've had before but cannot place my finger on. Also mixed it with a coffee I had that was darker than I wanted and this seemed to smooth the taste out a lot. Either way I can tell there is quality and love put into this product and I'm sure all the others, I will be back to get more and try other items as well.

Customer photo review of Chaga Mushroom Extract Capsules

LOVE this Chaga, bought thousands of dollars worth of supplements throughout the years, along with different mushroom products. This is the best and really gives me energy and a huge boost of vital force, energy isn't a good enough word for it. Love combining it with the Cordyceps too. VERY happy I found this website and truly grateful, the owner is extremely kind and answered my questions. This is the best Chaga extract I've ever had, and with just 3 a day (some days I choose to do 6 if I need an extra boost) you can feel it ALOT. Very high quality and POTENT. Can't wait to eventually try them all! Much love, and keep it up!!!! Seriously. ❤️🔥🔥
