About First Person

Yes. All of the mushrooms in our products are 100% legal. Our products contain functional mushrooms, which have been used for hundreds of years due to their medicinal properties and superfood benefits.

Functional mushrooms are mushrooms that provide a positive contribution to health, beyond just their basic nutritional value. Functional mushrooms are superfoods containing many vitamins and minerals. While each type of mushroom has its own unique properties, overall they may contribute to a variety of positive health benefits such as better sleep, better digestion, clearer skin, reduced anxiety, treatment of allergies and asthma, reduced inflammation, improved bone health, and promotion of a stronger immune system to help your body fight colds and other illnesses more efficiently.

Our products are rigorously tested for purity and contaminants all along the production process in order to unlock the full medicinal benefits of mushrooms.


These include complete microbial testing for any bacteria, yeast, and mold; heavy metals testing; pesticide testing; and testing for purity and active compounds.

Adaptogens are non-toxic plants and herbs that help the the body resist stressors of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological, to bring you back to a state of homeostasis. These plants and herbs have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions.

We encourage you to experiment with how you take our products. Here are some guidelines to get you started, but this is your protocol - not ours. And once you find what works best for you - tell us about it.

Lithium orotate is an over-the-counter nutraceutical that consists of orotic acid (a compound produced naturally in the body) and lithium (an alkali metal). Lithium is present in the diet, mainly in grains and vegetables, which is why the supplement is often called “nutritional lithium.” Lithium orotate is not the same as lithium prescribed by a doctor, which is typically called lithium carbonate and lithium citrate. When prescribed by a doctor, dosages of lithium can reach 1,800 mg daily. Golden Hour contains 2 mg of lithium orotate per dose, which may help protect neurons against damage, has antioxidant properties that may reduce inflammation, and can support a healthy state of wellbeing.*

All of the colors you see in the capsules are naturally derived from food, including curcumin, chlorophyll, turmeric, and red cabbage.

In simple terms, neurotransmitters are the body’s chemical messengers. They are used by the nervous system to help neurons, or nerve cells, communicate with one another. They also help neurons transmit signals to other target cells throughout the body.

Our formulations, with precision-targeted mushrooms, are the first to deliver potentially immediate and long-term cognitive enhancements by stimulating the production of specific neurotransmitters.

 

Sunbeam targets dopamine, also known as a "the feel-good neurotransmitter", responsible for allowing you to feel pleasure, satisfaction and motivation. Sunbeam supports the body’s natural production of the dopamine neurotransmitter to activate the brain’s motivation and reward system.

 

Oxytocin is a powerful hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, and is naturally produced in the body. It's also referred to as the "love hormone" or the "cuddle hormone" as it causes feelings of love and connection. Golden Hour supports the body’s natural production of the oxytocin hormone to mitigate stress and boost the mind-body connection.

 

Moonlight supports the body’s natural production of the GABA neurotransmitter, which relaxes the central nervous system and reduces fear, anxiety and stress, preparing the brain and body for sleep.
