alice works by combining the incredible power of functional mushrooms with potent nootropics and adaptogens — all into a decadent bite of chocolate.
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), improve memory, cognition, neuroplasticity and overall brain health. Reishi (in Nightcap) contains triterpenes that work directly with your parasympathetic nervous system to help alleviate stress, promote relaxation, and foster your deepest, best sleep ever. And Cordyceps (in Happy Ending + Brainstorm) boosts blood oxygen levels and is rich in 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 herbal supplements that provide immediate effects that you will feel within 45 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 and herbal supplements to our formulas.
With each chocolate, you will feel some effects instantly (15-45 minutes after eating), and the biggest impacts after 3+ weeks of consistent daily use.
For two simple reasons: taste and efficacy.
We have a simple motto at alice: indulge, don’t endure. We hated spending so much money on functional mushrooms in forms that didn’t taste good and were an effort to consume — and without consistent daily use, we didn’t feel their effects either. So we set out to create a wellness routine that was actually joyful, not one we felt like we had to force down. Every bite of alice is delicious which makes it a treat to eat every day. Say goodbye to unappetizing tinctures and powders sitting half-used on your counter and say hello to a decadent daily bite of chocolate with long term benefits you can feel.
Taking a supplement in food form also works better…about 10 times better. Our bodies were designed to absorb nutrients from food, not pills. During the process of eating, your saliva and digestive system breaks down the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to put them to work – which doesn’t happen with a pill. In food form, nutrients are up to 10 times more bioavailable than they are from pills which means that, with alice, you are getting a potent, readily digestible supplement that your body can actually absorb.
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.

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.
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 made with organic ingredients, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and made in the USA.
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. We’re unaware of any ingredients in our chocolates that could negatively impact a young person. That being said, 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.
