Our story: Mush n Go, recipes crafted in Toulouse
Produced in Toulouse since 2023
By the Mush n Go team · Updated 19 September 2026
Mush n Go is a French brand of adaptogenic mushrooms and plants, born from a single obsession: finding the best of every ingredient and dosing it for real. Behind it are a founder with a passion for biohacking, Alexandre Perez, a full year of research before the first product, and a partner contract manufacturer in Toulouse. Here is how an idea became a range of capsule courses and a super mushroom coffee, Brainstoorm, chosen today by more than 50,000 customers.
The founder
Alexandre Perez, the man behind Mush n Go.
If you are wondering who created Mush n Go, the answer fits into one name: Alexandre Perez. A French entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for biohacking and performance, he is first and foremost a user. Someone who really takes supplements, reads the labels, compares the doses and tests on himself before passing judgement.
That is exactly what annoyed him. On the shelves, many products promised a lot and disclosed very little. Blends with no dose per ingredient, mushrooms present only in traces, formulas that looked more like a marketing argument than a considered recipe. His goal became a simple one: find the best of every ingredient to create exceptional formulas, and have them made by a French contract manufacturer.
In 2022, he threw himself into intensive research on adaptogenic mushrooms and plants. Lion's Mane, ashwagandha, rhodiola: he tested everything, analysed the studies, looked for the right doses and the right combinations. This obsession led to the creation of Mush n Go in 2023.
“I spent more than a year looking for the perfect formulas before launching anything at all. The real strength comes from the synergy between adaptogenic mushrooms and plants. And I wanted it made by a French contract manufacturer, with the best possible doses.”
Alexandre Perez, founder of Mush n Go
The starting point
Why mushrooms, and nothing else?
It all started with a discovery in Asia. There, functional mushrooms are not a fad: reishi, cordyceps and lion's mane have been part of tradition for centuries, as decoctions, powders and broths. In Northern Europe and Siberia, chaga, harvested from birch trees, holds the same place in daily habits.
What convinced Alexandre was the meeting point between that tradition and modern research. Adaptogenic mushrooms and plants are studied in connection with their own compounds: the hericenones and erinacines of Lion’s Mane, the cordycepin of cordyceps, the triterpenes of reishi, the beta-glucans of chaga and oyster mushroom. Identified molecules, published trials, precise doses. The ideal ground for someone who likes to understand what he is taking.
There was also a very concrete observation. The morning coffee, the second one at 11, the slump at 4 pm. A lot of people live to the rhythm of caffeine, with its peaks and its crashes. The idea of a coffee that keeps the ritual and the taste, with far less caffeine and mushrooms dosed to the milligram, was born right there. It would become Brainstoorm.
Finally, mushrooms alone were not enough. Very quickly, Alexandre became convinced that they get more interesting when you combine them with adaptogenic plants, vitamins and minerals chosen for a specific goal. Not simply selling mushrooms, but creating genuinely complete solutions. That is still the brand’s line today. To go further on the subject, read our guide to adaptogenic mushrooms and plants.
Our journey
From Asia to Toulouse, year after year.
Four years separate the first research from the launch of our next new product. Here are the main milestones.
2022
The search for the perfect product. Passionate about supplements and biohacking, Alexandre threw himself into an obsessive quest: the best ingredients, the best doses, the best synergies between adaptogenic mushrooms and plants. Months of reading, testing and formulating, with a single goal: products with no compromises.
2023
Mush n Go is founded. After months of research and development, the brand is officially created. A partnership is formed with a well-established French contract manufacturer in Toulouse. Together, the recipes are finalised to combine adaptogenic mushrooms and plants at carefully studied doses.
Late 2023
The capsules launch. The first six courses arrive: Focus, Anti-Stress Complex, Sleep+, Energy, Immunity and Muscle Recovery. Each one combines mushrooms and plants for a specific goal. The first customer feedback confirms that the approach makes sense.
2024
Brainstoorm, the adaptogenic mushroom and plant coffee. Launch of our flagship product: a super mushroom coffee bringing together Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps and Chaga at 1,000 mg each, plus maca, chicory, ashwagandha and only 20 mg of microencapsulated caffeine per cup. Proof, cup after cup, that the synergy of ingredients works.
2026
The next chapter is being written now. Seven formulas, a full range of adaptogenic mushrooms and plants, more than 50,000 customers and a rating of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot. This year, Mush n Go is changing its look with a new visual identity and opening a dedicated page for each of its ingredients.
How we build our formulas
Doses on the label, not promises.
A Mush n Go formula is always built the same way. We start from a goal (focus, energy, sleep, stress, immunity, recovery), we look at which ingredients have been studied in connection with that subject and at what dose, then we look for the combinations that make sense. Four principles guide every decision.
Dose for real. Every ingredient has a quantity in milligrams. In Brainstoorm Coffee, that means 6,040 mg of actives per cup, roughly three times more than the mushroom coffees commonly on the market.
Combine rather than pile up. One mushroom, one or two adaptogenic plants, sometimes a vitamin or a mineral: every ingredient has a role, and they are chosen to complement one another.
Keep it simple to take. One cup in the morning, one or two capsules a day. The best formula is the one you actually take, every day, for several weeks.
The fourth principle is about taste. A mushroom coffee you drink reluctantly is no use to anyone. Brainstoorm was therefore developed to have no mushroom taste at all: you can drink it hot or cold, with water or milk, in Coffee or Chocolate hazelnut. The caffeine is microencapsulated (NewCaff®) and limited to 20 mg per cup, versus around 80 mg for a classic coffee. Read also: Decaf coffee: dangers, solvents and benefits.
Here is how those principles translate into the range.
| Formula | Mushrooms | Plants and nutrients |
|---|---|---|
| Brainstoorm Coffee | Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga (1,000 mg each) | Maca 3,000 mg, chicory, ashwagandha, 20 mg of NewCaff® caffeine |
| Brainstoorm Hazelnut Chocolate | Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga | Maca, ashwagandha, rhodiola, cocoa, 20 mg of NewCaff® caffeine |
| Focus | Lion’s Mane | Saffron, bacopa, ginkgo biloba, maritime pine |
| Energy | Cordyceps | Maca, ginger, vitamin C (caffeine-free) |
| Anti-Stress Complex | Reishi | Ashwagandha, holy basil, schisandra, vitamin B6 |
| Sleep+ | Reishi | Valerian, magnesium bisglycinate, melatonin |
| Immunity | Chaga, Reishi, Oyster mushroom | Three mushrooms together |
| Muscle Recovery | Cordyceps, Chaga | Turmeric, boswellia |
The full detail of each ingredient, its history, its studies and its precautions can be found on our page our active ingredients.

Our contract manufacturer
The recipes are developed and produced in Toulouse, France, by a French contract manufacturer.

What changes in 2026
A new face, the same course.
Three years after it was created, Mush n Go is entering a new stage. Nothing changes in substance: same formulas, same laboratory, same demands on dosing. What changes is the way we talk to you about it.
A new visual identity
Bolder colours, more readable typography, clearer pages. A brand that finally looks like what it is: alive, direct and precise.
One page per ingredient
Every ingredient in the range now has its own page: history, studies, dose, precautions. From Lion’s Mane to saffron, by way of valerian.
More transparency
Composition tables, cited sources, straight answers to the awkward questions, such as side effects or contraindications.
Our mission
Improving your wellbeing, day after day.
Our mission has stayed the same since 2023: to provide high-quality adaptogenic solutions that fit simply into your everyday life. Energy, focus, calm: the goals we build our formulas around. Naturally.
We believe everyone deserves access to natural solutions that are serious and properly dosed. Not to promises. That is why we work every day with our contract manufacturer in Toulouse to improve our recipes and to imagine new ones.
In practice, that means three things. Telling you exactly what is in each product. Explaining to you why each ingredient is there, and what the research really says about it. And letting you try with no risk, as a one-off purchase or on subscription, with 60 days to change your mind.
If you are discovering the brand, start with whatever speaks to you: a cup of Brainstoorm in the morning, a targeted course such as Focus or Anti-Stress Complex, or a pack to combine several goals, such as the Limitless Pack or the Relaxation Pack. All our products can be found in our shop and in our bundles. Come and join the Mush n Go adventure.
