What Is Troop’s Super Troop 6 Mushroom Blend?
Troop is a gummy-format mushroom supplement brand that sells single-mushroom products (Lion’s Mane, Reishi) alongside a combination formula called Super Troop. The combination product blends six functional mushroom species into one gummy: reishi, chaga, lion’s mane, cordyceps, maitake, and turkey tail. This review looks only at what’s written on the brand’s own product and label pages, not at how the gummies taste or perform.
We have not purchased, tasted, or used this product. Nothing in this review reflects hands-on testing. It’s a label read, sourced entirely from Troop’s public product pages and listings.
What the Label Actually Lists
According to Troop’s product copy, Super Troop uses a “Proprietary Mushroom Fruit Body Extract Blend” containing reishi fruit body (Ganoderma lucidum), chaga sclerotia (Inonotus obliquus), lion’s mane fruit body (Hericium erinaceus), cordyceps fruit body (Cordyceps militaris), maitake fruit body (Grifola frondosa), and turkey tail fruit body (Trametes versicolor). Because this is listed as a proprietary blend, the brand’s copy does not break out the milligram amount of each individual mushroom — only the combined total. That distinction matters, and we cover it in our guide on how to read a mushroom supplement label.
Other listed ingredients include tapioca syrup, organic cane sugar, water, pectin, organic rice starch (as a coating), natural fruit flavors, citric acid, sodium citrate, and color from fruit and vegetable extract (purple sweet potato). The pectin base is why the brand markets these as vegan, in place of gelatin.
Dosage instructions on Troop’s own pages state that one serving equals two gummies, with a suggested range of one to three servings per day. A 60-count bottle works out to 30 servings at the standard two-gummy serving size, which lines up with roughly a one-month supply if taken once daily.
The Dose Math — and Where the Label Gets Confusing
This is where we apply our own dose math framework, and it’s worth doing carefully here because Troop’s own marketing pages don’t agree with each other.
- Some retail listings that mirror Troop’s product copy (including Amazon and third-party retailers) state Super Troop delivers 5,000 mg of mushroom extract per serving.
- A comparison chart on Troop’s own homepage claims “7,000+ mg fresh mushrooms per serving” across its product line generally.
- FAQ text reused across several of Troop’s individual product pages (including pages for other products in the lineup) references “over 3,000 mg” per serving — language that appears to be templated copy shared across multiple products rather than a Super Troop-specific figure.
We can’t reconcile these three numbers from public copy alone, and we’re not going to guess which one is accurate for the current formulation. [VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING: confirm the exact per-serving milligram total from a current product label photo or Supplement Facts panel before this article goes live.] This is exactly the kind of inconsistency our COA guide addresses — see how to read a supplement Certificate of Analysis for how to check what a brand’s total mg claim actually represents.
What we can say with confidence, because it’s stated consistently across sources: one serving is two gummies, and a bottle contains 60 gummies. If the true total lands anywhere in the 3,000–7,000 mg range per serving, that would put each individual gummy somewhere between roughly 1,500 mg and 3,500 mg of blended extract — but because this is a proprietary blend of six mushrooms, the label does not disclose how that total is divided among the six species. A high combined number does not tell you how much of any single mushroom, like lion’s mane or reishi, you’re actually getting.
What Research Suggests About These Six Mushrooms
Each mushroom in this blend has been studied to varying degrees, though most human research remains limited, and study quality varies widely. Lion’s mane has been researched for its potential role in supporting nerve growth factor activity and cognitive function, though most trials are small. Reishi has a long history of use in traditional medicine and has been studied for possible effects on immune signaling and stress response. Cordyceps has been researched for a possible role in exercise performance and energy metabolism. Chaga, maitake, and turkey tail have each been studied for antioxidant activity and potential immune-supporting compounds, including beta-glucans.
None of this research is specific to Troop’s product, its extraction method, or its combined blend. Research on an individual mushroom species in isolation does not confirm how that mushroom behaves when combined with five others in a proprietary ratio, or at the doses actually present in this gummy. Any benefits from this product remain unconfirmed and may vary from person to person.
What the Label Does Not Prove
The label and product pages do not disclose individual mushroom amounts within the blend, do not publish a Certificate of Analysis on the main product page as far as we could confirm, and do not specify the exact extraction ratio behind the “triple extraction” claim. Marketing copy referencing timelines like “Day 30” or “Day 60” outcomes reflects brand messaging, not clinical study results, and should be read as aspirational rather than guaranteed.
Who Should Avoid This Product
People who are pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medications (particularly blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or diabetes medications), or managing autoimmune conditions should talk to a healthcare provider before trying a multi-mushroom blend, since several of these species may interact with medications or affect immune activity. Anyone with a known mushroom or fungal allergy should avoid this category of product entirely. The gummy base also contains added sugar (tapioca syrup and cane sugar), which is worth noting for anyone managing blood sugar.
How It Compares
If you’re evaluating Super Troop alongside other six-mushroom gummy blends, our Pilly Labs mushroom gummies review walks through a similarly structured product using the same label-first approach, including its own per-gummy dose math.
