alice works by combining the incredible power of functional mushrooms with potent nootropics and adaptogens — all into a decadent chocolate supplement bite. 

The functional mushrooms work over time, not instantly. When taken daily for 3+ weeks, the nutrients compound in your body and begin to make subtle yet powerful changes. A few examples we love…

The compounds in Lion’s Mane (in Brainstorm) are so molecularly light that they can cross the blood-brain barrier to directly stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), support memory, cognition, neuroplasticity and overall brain function. Reishi (in Nightcap) contains triterpenes that work directly with your parasympathetic nervous system to help alleviate stress, promote relaxation, and foster deep sleep. And Cordyceps (in Happy Ending + Brainstorm) maintains healthy blood oxygen levels and delivers adenosine – an endurance-enhancing compound that optimizes energy levels and mental stamina for improved learning, memory, and central nervous system functions.

To complement the long-term health benefits of the mushrooms (and because we love instant gratification), we formulated our chocolates with a blend of powerful, fast-acting nootropics and botanicals that provide effects that you may feel within 45 minutes of consuming the product. 

The result is an indulgent daily ritual that’s good for you and only gets better with time.

We have a ‘now and later’ approach to formulation. The long term benefits come from our functional mushrooms, which are felt over time — not instantly. When incorporated into a daily routine, the mushrooms’ nutrients compound in your body and become more effective with daily use.

But we also know that nothing beats instant gratification. That’s why we’ve added a potent blend of active nootropics, herbs, and botanicals to our formulas. 

With each chocolate, you may feel some effects instantly (45 minutes after eating), and the biggest impacts after 3+ weeks of consistent daily use.

We take mushroom sourcing very seriously. All of our mushrooms are grown-to-order from a network of woman-owned farms, are USDA Certified Organic, and only use extracts from the fruiting body of the mushroom (the most nutrient-dense part). Additionally, our mushrooms are grown on the substrate that is most natural to them — Cordyceps on brown rice, Lion’s Mane on oak and maple logs and Reishi on dunwood logs — to provide the purest, most potent extract. 

We fulfill Monday-Friday and aim to pack orders within 24 hours of receiving them. For domestic orders, you should receive your alice 3-6 business days from the moment you place it! International orders currently take 11-14 days for delivery.

We don't currently ship to P.O. boxes because not all of our carriers can deliver to them. Physical addresses only please!

Yes! All alice products are intended to be consumed daily and are designed to complement one another. You can get the full mushroom experience by trying all of our current formulas with our Discovery Set. Feel the difference when your body functions on mushrooms.



Never. alice products contain functional mushrooms like Lions Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi. Functional mushrooms are fully legal everywhere in the world, and are an entirely different category of mushrooms to those that can create a psychedelic experience. So no matter how much alice chocolate you consume, you won’t trip or risk failing a drug test. 


Consuming alcohol while alice is in your system is not shown to affect its efficacy. However, everyone’s body is different, so it’s always a good idea to pay attention to how you’re feeling and take it slow. As always, ask your doctor if you’re unsure!

Yes! We take a lot of pride in our sourcing and the quality of every ingredient we put in our chocolates. All alice chocolates are gluten free, certified OU-D kosher, and manufactured in the USA. Party Trick contains small amounts of milk and is not vegan.

There's no minimum age requirement for consuming alice products, but they were designed for adults and have not been extensively tested with children or teenagers. If you are concerned about a child taking alice, we always recommend talking to a pediatrician first!

We don’t have access to conclusive studies performed with people who may have contraindications, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who have certain chronic health conditions, to be able to make any claims about the safety of functional mushrooms in those circumstances. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your health and wellness routine if you have chronic health issues or if you are pregnant.
