Why We Created Alchemy Dose
We are on a mission to bring functional mushrooms and herbs back into everyday life, where ancient tradition meets modern research.
Adaptogens
A group of herbs and mushrooms, a category first described by researchers Brekhman and Dardymov in 1969 and long valued in traditional practice for everyday balance.
Ancient Wisdom
Valued across traditional cultures for thousands of years, and now being rediscovered and studied by modern research.
Our Mission
To spotlight overlooked superfoods and make these time-honoured ingredients a simple part of everyday life.
Our Obsession
We are driven by a love for fungi and a genuine wish to share that love with the world.
"Long story short: we are obsessed with mushrooms and we hope you will be too."
Our Purpose
Our goal is simple: to bring functional mushrooms and other natural ingredients back into everyday life. This is more than a business, it is a movement to reconnect with nature's wisdom and the rituals that have always been part of it.
The Alchemy Dose Team
NOTE FROM FOUNDER
Alchemy Dose is the synthesis of everything I have lived through: creativity, discipline, patience, and a deep respect for nature.
For years, my life revolved around producing and performing electronic music. Late nights in the studio, club gigs, and a routine that was exciting, but completely out of sync with my body.
The Wake-Up Call
A health scare forced me to pause and rethink everything. It was less a single moment and more a turning point in how I wanted to live.
Discipline
I started rebuilding from the basics: cleaner nutrition, training with intention, and simple daily rituals. Over time I learned the quiet power of discipline. Not punishment, but consistency.
Discovery
In 2020, when Covid-19 shut down nightlife and the industry went silent, I finally slowed down. I turned my attention to hydroponic farming, and that curiosity eventually led me into mushroom cultivation.
Creation
Seeing how few real functional mushrooms were available in India, I began sourcing, testing, and learning to tell a true fruiting-body extract from grain filler. Most people did not know what functional mushrooms were, or how to separate truth from marketing. That is what led me to build Alchemy Dose with integrity, not hype.
"Discipline taught me consistency, and mushrooms became part of my daily ritual."
Mushrooms are not magic, and they are not instant fixes. In traditional practice they were simply part of a daily rhythm, valued for everyday balance, and that is how I think of them too.
Over the last decade I watched how much pressure modern life puts on all of us, and the Covid years only deepened that. My own search led me back to nature, and to fungi. Through reading, testing, and a lot of trial and error, I came to respect how much there is to learn from them.
The more time I spent with fungi, the more I felt others deserved the same thing I was looking for: honest products they can actually trust.
That vision became Alchemy Dose, a brand built on honest sourcing, third-party testing, and respect for the fungi themselves. Our purpose is simple: to put real, well-made functional mushrooms in your hands, and to be straight with you about what they are.
With gratitude,
