Ankhway Mushroom Gummies are raspberry gummies made with 10 mushrooms, including lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi and chaga. When we checked the label in October 2026, each mushroom was listed at 250mg per two-gummy serving, made from 25mg of a 10:1 fruiting body extract. Two gummies have about 5g of sugar.
Below: the ingredients, what the 2,500mg figure means, how to take them, the evidence, safety and UK alternatives. These are facts from Ankhway’s own pages, not a review. Evopure isn’t connected with Ankhway.
What’s in Ankhway mushroom gummies?
Ankhway sells one product, in bags of 60 (a 30-day supply). The label lists these 10 mushrooms, all fruiting body, per two-gummy serving:
| Mushroom | Per 2 gummies | Per gummy |
|---|---|---|
| Lion’s mane | 250mg | 125mg |
| Cordyceps (sinensis) | 250mg | 125mg |
| Reishi | 250mg | 125mg |
| Chaga | 250mg | 125mg |
| Tremella | 250mg | 125mg |
| Shiitake | 250mg | 125mg |
| Maitake | 250mg | 125mg |
| White button | 250mg | 125mg |
| Royal sun (Agaricus) | 250mg | 125mg |
| Black fungus | 250mg | 125mg |
Other ingredients: glucose syrup, sugar, glucose, pectin, citric acid, natural raspberry flavour, sodium citrate, fruit and vegetable juice concentrate, and a glaze of sunflower oil and carnauba wax.
Sugar: 5g per two gummies, 20 calories. Ankhway says it chose sugar over polyols and stevia for taste. For scale, the NHS says adults should have no more than 30g of free sugars a day.
Vegan? Yes, by Ankhway’s pages. They are set with pectin, not gelatine, and also listed as gluten-free and non-GMO.
How much of each mushroom is in Ankhway gummies?
The pack says 2,500mg of mushroom extracts per serving. The label shows how that adds up: each 250mg figure comes “from 25mg of 10:1 extract”. So 2,500mg is the equivalent weight of dried mushroom, and the extract itself weighs 250mg per two gummies, or 12.5mg of each mushroom per gummy.
This is a common way to label extracts; our powder vs extract guide explains ratios. Ankhway also gives 48% beta-glucans, measured on the raw extract powder before it goes into the gummies.
We don’t make a mushroom gummy. If you’re comparing options, these are ours: a reishi hot chocolate; Flow CBD Oil, broad spectrum CBD with ashwagandha and maca in MCT oil; and a berry magnesium drink with 148mg of magnesium per serving. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The FSA’s 10mg a day figure is precautionary advice rather than a legal limit, set while longer-term safety research continues. At Evopure we think it is a very cautious figure, and many adults use more. If you go above it, increase slowly, and check with your GP or pharmacist first if you take any medication.
How to take Ankhway gummies, and the best time to take them
Ankhway’s directions are two gummies a day, every day. Its website doesn’t name a best time to take them; the Amazon listing says they fit “busy mornings or late-night wind-downs”. Ankhway recommends 60 to 90 days of daily use.
None of the 10 mushrooms contains caffeine, so timing is personal. A fixed time, such as breakfast, makes them easier to remember. More on timing in our reishi guide and lion’s mane guide.
Ankhway for anxiety, cortisol, hair loss or bloating: what the evidence says
No mushroom has an authorised health claim in the UK, and food supplements can’t legally claim to prevent, treat or cure a condition. We found no published trial of the gummies themselves. For the mushrooms (more in our functional mushrooms guide and lion’s mane vs reishi vs cordyceps):
- Lion’s mane: small human trials on memory and mood, using far larger amounts (about 3g a day of dried mushroom in one).
- Reishi: mostly lab and animal studies; human trials are small and mixed. See mushrooms and anxiety.
- Cordyceps: two small exercise trials, one positive and one showing no difference. See cordyceps.
- Chaga, tremella, shiitake, maitake and the rest: largely lab and animal research, with few human studies.
Nothing here is a treatment for anxiety, hair loss, gut problems or hormone symptoms. Anxiety that affects daily life, hair loss you’re worried about, or bloating or constipation that keeps coming back are all worth a GP appointment. For cortisol, see what has evidence for lowering cortisol. The NHS advises seeing a GP if you feel bloated regularly or have bloating with weight loss or blood in your poo.
Ankhway side effects and who should check first
Ankhway says the mushrooms are generally well tolerated, and to see a healthcare professional if you get side effects. Also worth knowing:
- Medication: Memorial Sloan Kettering says reishi can increase bleeding risk with blood thinners such as warfarin and may not suit people on immunosuppressants. It says chaga may add to the effect of blood thinners and diabetes medicines. Ask your GP or pharmacist first if you take antidepressants, blood pressure medicine, HRT or anything else.
- Kidneys: chaga is high in oxalate; a case of kidney damage followed 4 to 5 teaspoons of chaga powder a day for 6 months. See chaga.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: we found no pregnancy advice on Ankhway’s pages. The FSA says check with your GP before taking any supplement when pregnant.
- Children: Ankhway says to consult your child’s healthcare provider. Mushroom gummies can look like sweets, so keep any bag out of children’s reach.
- Mushroom allergy: avoid if you react to edible mushrooms.
And these aren’t magic mushrooms: Ankhway says they contain nothing psychoactive.
Is Ankhway legit, and where can you buy it in the UK?
Ankhway is the trading name of ATC MN Ltd, a London company (number 14859507). It sells through ankhway.com, as a monthly subscription or a one-off bag, and through an Ankhway store on Amazon UK. The site doesn’t say where the gummies are made.
Ankhway says every batch is tested by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. Its published results for a batch tested on 27 September 2026 screened 152 contaminants, including heavy metals and pesticides, with none detected.
Searching “Ankhway” on Amazon also shows other brands’ 10-in-1 mushroom gummies, so check the brand and seller. There’s no NHS approval for supplement brands: supplements are sold as foods, not medicines.
Ankhway alternatives in the UK
Mushrooms come in several formats; the choice is mostly habit:
| Format | Usually | Worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| Gummies | Easy, sweet | Sugar, mg per gummy |
| Capsules | Higher doses, no sugar | Extract or powder |
| Powders | Flexible dose | Taste, ratio |
| Coffee blends | Morning swap | Caffeine |
| Hot chocolate | Evening mug | Cacao caffeine |
On any label, look for mg of each mushroom, extract or powder, fruiting body or mycelium, and a stated beta-glucan figure. Our mushroom gummies guide covers gummies in general, and how to choose a mushroom supplement covers the rest. For drinks, see mushroom coffee, DIRTEA and Spacegoods; for capsules on the high street, lion’s mane at Holland and Barrett.
One option is ours: Reishi Mushroom Adaptogenic Complex, a reishi hot chocolate with reishi mushroom extract, organic cacao, maca, coconut milk powder and coconut sugar. It contains a little natural caffeine from the cacao. It’s a different format, not a better one. See reishi cacao. Our products are vegan, UK-made and for adults (18+) only. We don’t recommend our products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
