Turkey Tail Capsules Featuring an Organic Certified Vegan Capsule and Eco-Friendly Packaging in a Planet Positive Refill System
At Eversio Wellness, we offer a NEW zero-waste, planet positive REFILL SYSTEM for all of our mushroom supplements, including our Turkey Tail capsules.
Our Planet Positive Refill System was designed to promote removing wasteful packaging from our planet, re-enriching the soil, and ultimately reversing climate change. We believe in showing our gratitude to Mother Nature for providing the medicines she does by decreasing single-use plastics and instead using glass jars that are infinitely reusable and 100% home compostable refill pouches made from bio-based raw materials. Compostable packaging is the most environmentally friendly packaging available on the market today!
By using compostable packaging, we are able to eliminate any landfill waste, help reverse climate change, and revitalize our planet's depleted soil. We are excited to use our packaging to protect your mushroom supplements and to spread awareness about the need for every human to contribute to sustainability and prevention of climate change in any small way - like choosing our mushroom supplements over those packaged in plastic.
Purchase your glass jar first, JUST ONE TIME, and keep it forever. When you’re ready for more Turkey Tail capsules, purchase them in our home compostable refill pouches, tear open, refill original jar, and toss the pouch into your backyard compost or green bin. Zero Waste!
Our mushroom supplements and Turkey Tail capsules are also the first EVER to use organic certified fungi-based capsules. Our capsules themselves are USDA Organic certified, vegan and made from pullulan (produced by growing the fungi Aureobasidium pullulans on certified organic tapioca starch). These capsules offer superior oxidation prevention and moisture barrier from an all-natural vegan source! NO GELATIN or PLASTIC! We believe that fungi are the future and we apply that vision to all of our medicinal mushroom product development.
