Living Nutrition differs from competing ordinary dried blends of adaptogenic herbs – they use kefir-kombucha fermentation, making the contained nutrients more bioavailable to the body.
Fermentation of the vital mushroom cordyceps is an effective way to activate the compounds it contains. It creates a highly bioavailable living synergy of micronutrients with an enhanced nutritional profile, helping you feel physically better and stronger.
Why Take Cordyceps
Cordyceps is a key source of cordycepin, a special nucleoside-type compound that, according to research and clinical studies, has antiviral potential. Like the other contained nucleoside called adenosine, it can play a positive role in energy metabolism and hormone production.
Cordyceps is considered an adaptogenic mushroom and is used in traditional Chinese medicine as a tonic to gently restore energy after periods of prolonged stress and illness.
It is best known for supporting healthy energy levels, endurance, and resilience, and helps maximise oxygen capacity, which is why it is often used by athletes.
Why Fermented Living Nutrition Products
Fermentation-activated capsules from Living Nutrition offer a top level of active ingredients. Thanks to fermentation, these vital ingredients are activated, allowing the human body to absorb and utilise their positive effects to the maximum. Fermented mushrooms retain their holistic synergy, while being much more concentrated and bioavailable.
Moreover, due to the fermentation process, they are rich in beneficial microbes, enzymes, and contain a range of signalling molecules specific to the fermentation process.
Each capsule contains organic cordyceps fermented using the kefir-kombucha method, characteristic of Living Nutrition, and then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all unique nutrients. It is then encapsulated in a plant-based cellulose capsule (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), suitable for vegans.
Who is Behind the Production?
The nutritional supplement is formulated by renowned English nutritional therapist, Graham Botfield, to achieve the right synergy of nutrients, where each food and herb perfectly complement each other. Only the best organic ingredients are used for their freshness and vitality. The fermentation production process (details in the tab under the name Fermentation Process) is also designed and controlled by Graham.
The production of each blend in this product line is individually overseen, as each blend has different compositions, requirements, and purposes. All fermented blends are gently freeze-dried to preserve their freshness and capture the highest possible amount of active nutrients.
Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher specialising in the digestive microbiome and traditional use of herbs. He has collaborated with renowned supplement brands, including New Chapter, whose founder and master herbalist Paul Schulick greatly influenced Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired supplements. Along with another colleague, a microbiology expert, Graham continuously develops new fermented products and explores their benefits.
Besides fermentation, Graham is also passionate about education. He uses his research at Living Nutrition to lecture on the benefits of fermented plants for modern health conditions. At Living Nutrition, they continue to be inspired by Graham's research in creating products that work in harmony with the body's natural ecology.

What are Adaptogens
Adaptogens are used in situations where stress, anxiety, or physical exertion is induced. At that moment, the organism fully adapts (creating non-specific resistance), allowing it to physiologically handle stressful and physically demanding situations, stress, anxiety, increased physical exertion, etc.
In short, your body quickly adapts to the situation and handles it calmly. Adaptogenic substances increase the body's resilience during mentally challenging periods. Our body becomes stronger and more vital.
Adaptogens are substances that increase the body's resilience during mentally challenging periods.
- Generally, two types of adaptogens are recognised, calming and stimulating.
- Besides holy basil, calming adaptogens also include ashwagandha.
- Stimulating adaptogens include rhodiola root, maca root, or ginseng.
Adaptogens also have the ability to act where the body needs it most, thereby stabilising all functional systems in the body.
NOTICE: according to American dietitian Holly Herington, adaptogens do not work like a cup of coffee, their effect is not felt immediately. The body needs between 6 to 12 weeks for adaptogens to build up in the body and for you to notice any difference.
The original batches were encapsulated in organic fermented tapioca capsules, new batches are in plant-based cellulose capsules. Both types of capsules are fully plant-based and suitable for vegans; the cellulose capsule was chosen for higher stability and lower moisture sensitivity. The change only concerns the capsule packaging, not the fermented chaga itself. Customers may receive the original or new batch depending on current stock availability.
Dietary supplement. Not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Keep out of reach of kids.

History of Living Nutrition
2014
LN's beginnings were very humble. Back then, everything was run from a single room in Graham's house in Sussex with some help from daughter Ella. The product line was initially launched with only one product, Your Flora, and the Signature herbal line.
2016
With the growing popularity and enthusiastic feedback reaching all over Europe, Graham began to develop and add more products. To manage the logistics, Living Nutrition moved under Living Planet Distribution so Graham could focus more on formulations and research.
2019
This has been a pivotal year for Living Nutrition. Their popularity has grown significantly due to customer feedback and interest in our fermentation. LN has won several awards, including the Natural and Organic award for best new herbal product for their fermented ashwagandha. They decided to take the big step and take fermentation into their own hands.
This has allowed them to introduce some innovations, including the use of the Flask system to "restructure" the input water and some new methods to increase the efficiency and diversity of the microbes in their fermentation process. In collaboration with research institutions, they have now been able to study the effects of our fermentation for different conditions.
2021
In April, LN introduced a second generation of products with new eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging and an even more effective line of fermented products.
Founder of Living Nutrition
Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher who specialises in the digestive microbiome and the traditional use of herbs. He has worked with respected dietary supplement brands including New Chapter, whose founder and master botanist Paul Schulick was a major influence on Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired supplements. Together with an expert microbiologist, Graham is constantly developing new fermented products and researching their benefits.
"If we change our approach to medicine from fighting disease to creating health, we will move from mega-dosing inert nutrients to the more subtle healing elements found in nature. Then we will value plants for their natural intelligence that feeds information to our many cellular senses to promote healing. Fermentation is nature's alchemy that evolves plants to a higher level of vitality and nutrition, creating compounds that communicate balance and harmony to our bodies on all levels."

Living Nutrition's unique fermentation process
Step #1
At the beginning of this process is the careful selection of the freshest organic ingredients (biodynamic if possible). The water used is also double filtered and restructured using a specialised Flaska system.
Step #2
A highly concentrated and active inoculum is created by a hybrid of organic kefir grains and organic kombucha.
Step #3
An inoculum is added to the organic herbs and foods, the whole mixture is then fermented in small 10 litre batches under optimal conditions.
Step #4
After many weeks of care, including daily stirring and testing, fermentation is finally complete.
Step #5
The ferments are then carefully freeze-dried to remove all water and preserve all the delicate nutrients, enzymes and microbes.
Step #6
The finished product is finally sealed in an organic vegetable capsule wrapped in an amber glass bottle and 100% plastic-free packaging.
