This is the ingredient walk for Glowfare Mushroom Gummies, written to the verified Supplement Facts panel. Where the panel discloses a number, we cite it. Where the panel does not, we say so plainly. The goal is simple: a buyer should finish this article knowing exactly what is in the product and what is not.
The two named lines on the panel
Glowfare’s panel has two ingredient lines that matter for the formulation:
Ashwagandha Root Extract — 250 mg per two-gummy serving. The brand identifies this as KSM-66 in marketing materials. Daily Value (DV) is not established for ashwagandha.
Proprietary Mushroom Blend — 2,500 mg per two-gummy serving. The blend is named to include Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Maitake, Chaga, Shiitake, and Cordyceps. Per-mushroom milligrams are not disclosed.
That is the entirety of the active formulation. Everything else on the label is the gummy carrier — the syrups, sugars, flavor, and color — which we cover separately at the end.
KSM-66 ashwagandha at 250 mg
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is the only named, dosed, single ingredient on Glowfare’s panel. That is what makes it the formulation’s evaluable line.
KSM-66 is a branded full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract with the longest published clinical research record in the ashwagandha category. The published research has examined the extract at doses between 250 mg and 675 mg daily across studies on stress markers, sleep quality, and physical performance metrics. Glowfare’s two-gummy serving sits at 250 mg, and the suggested-use directive of one or two servings daily places a daily user between 250 mg and 500 mg.
The 500 mg upper-end daily intake sits within the most commonly studied dose range. The 250 mg lower-end is at the floor of the studied range. Buyers who want to land in the middle of the studied range (300 mg to 400 mg) cannot do so cleanly with this product because the gummy serving is fixed at 250 mg increments.
For the deeper formulation logic on why KSM-66 gets paired with mushroom blends in the first place, the why formulators pair KSM-66 with mushrooms piece walks the design choices.
The 7 mushrooms in the proprietary blend
The blend lists seven named mushrooms. We walk each one with traditional-use context, what published research has examined, and what the panel does and does not tell the reader. We will not invent per-mushroom doses.
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
Lion’s Mane has been used historically in East Asian culinary and traditional-use contexts. The compounds receiving the most published research attention are hericenones (found in the fruiting body) and erinacines (found in the mycelium). These compounds have been studied in laboratory and animal research for their effects on nerve growth factor production. Human research on cognition has been smaller and more variable in design.
What the Glowfare panel tells you: Lion’s Mane is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: how many milligrams, whether the source is fruiting body or mycelium, what the extraction method is, or what the beta-glucan standardization is.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Reishi has the longest documented traditional-use history of any mushroom in this category, with references in Chinese herbal texts spanning over two millennia. It is traditionally categorized in those frameworks as a calming or shen-tonifying mushroom. Modern published research has examined Reishi compounds for immune-support markers and stress-related markers.
What the panel tells you: Reishi is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: dose, fruiting body vs. mycelium, dual-extraction status, or triterpene content.
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
Turkey Tail is one of the most-studied mushrooms in the polysaccharide research literature, particularly the polysaccharide-K (PSK) and polysaccharide peptide (PSP) compound families. Its traditional use is broadly in the immune-support category. Published research has examined Turkey Tail extracts in oncology-adjunct settings, though that research is in clinical contexts and is not transferable to dietary supplement claims.
What the panel tells you: Turkey Tail is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: dose, source, or PSK/PSP content.
Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
Maitake (also known as “hen of the woods”) has both culinary and traditional supplement use. Published research on Maitake extracts has examined the D-fraction (a beta-glucan compound) for immune-support markers. As a culinary mushroom, Maitake is also routinely consumed in food quantities globally.
What the panel tells you: Maitake is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: dose or D-fraction content.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Chaga is a parasitic fungus traditionally consumed as a tea in Northern European and Siberian traditions. It is rich in melanin and contains a range of polyphenolic compounds. Most published research on Chaga is in laboratory rather than human-clinical settings, with examination of antioxidant compound profiles.
What the panel tells you: Chaga is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: dose, source, or polyphenol content.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
Shiitake is widely consumed as a culinary mushroom. Its lentinan compound (a beta-glucan) has been studied in clinical research, though again largely in pharmaceutical-extract contexts rather than dietary supplement formulations. As a culinary food, Shiitake is consumed in food quantities globally.
What the panel tells you: Shiitake is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: dose or lentinan content.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis)
Cordyceps has traditional use in Tibetan and Chinese herbal medicine, particularly in endurance and physical-performance contexts. Modern published research has examined cordycepin and adenosine content in extracts. Two species are commonly used in supplements: C. militaris (cultivated, more accessible) and C. sinensis (wild-harvested, much less common in supplements due to cost and availability).
What the panel tells you: Cordyceps is in the blend.
What the panel does not tell you: dose, species, or cordycepin content.
The marketing-vs-label discrepancy worth disclosing
Some of Glowfare’s marketing copy — particularly the brand’s listicle page — references Tremella as an additional mushroom and uses an 8-in-1 framing. Tremella does not appear on the verified Supplement Facts panel. The panel lists seven mushrooms.
This is not unusual in the supplement industry, where marketing copy is sometimes written for a product line broadly rather than a specific SKU. The practical takeaway for the buyer is: read the panel of the SKU you are purchasing, every time, and treat the panel as authoritative over the marketing copy.
The seven mushrooms named on the panel are the seven mushrooms in the product. We write to that.
The other ingredients line
The “Other Ingredients” line lists, in order:
Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Cane Sugar, Filtered Water, Organic Tapioca Syrup Solids, Organic Pear Juice Concentrate, Pectin, Citric Acid, Organic Flavor, Colored with Organic Carrot and Blueberry Extracts, Potassium Citrate.
This is consistent with the broader functional gummy category. The tapioca syrup and cane sugar are the gummy base. Pectin is the gelling agent (vegan, distinct from gelatin). Pear juice concentrate provides natural sweetness and binding. Citric acid is the acidulant. The carrot and blueberry extracts provide color without artificial dyes. Potassium citrate is a buffering agent commonly used in gummies.
Macros per serving: 20 calories, 3.5 g total carbohydrate, 1.5 g total sugar.
The product label states: 100% vegan, gluten-free, gelatin-free, no peanuts, no tree nuts, no shellfish, no eggs, no dairy, no fish, no soy, no wheat, no artificial additives.
Reading this panel honestly
The strongest line on Glowfare’s panel is the KSM-66 ashwagandha at 250 mg. It names the dose, names the extract grade, and lets the buyer match it to a published clinical research record.
The proprietary mushroom blend is the standard pattern in this gummy category — named species, undisclosed individual doses. That is a real trade-off the buyer is making in exchange for the format. Buyers who need precise per-mushroom dosing should look at single-ingredient products instead.
The other ingredients line is unremarkable for the gummy category. The allergen exclusion list is broad. The macros are modest.
For the side-effect and interaction profile across these ingredients — particularly relevant for ashwagandha users on thyroid medication, in pregnancy, or on other supplements — the safety and interaction considerations piece is the next read. The full purchase decision context is in the Glowfare Mushroom Gummies review.
