Wood Ear Mushroom Extract by 7 Gates Apothecary promotes gut-brain axis health, supports circulation and cognition, and nourishes Yin, all while aiding digestion and cardiovascular balance.

Wood Ear Mushroom: Gut + Brain Protect by 7 Gates Apothecary is a multi-functional extract made from Auricularia auricula, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Hei Mu Er (黑木耳). This formula is triple-extracted using water, organic alcohol, and USP-grade vegetable glycerin to deliver a full spectrum of therapeutic compounds.

Wood Ear mushroom is traditionally used to nourish Yin, promote circulation, and cool the Blood. It is particularly valued for its ability to support both digestive and cognitive function—making it ideal for modern concerns such as gut-brain axis imbalance, neuroinflammation, cardiovascular health, and stress-related digestive symptoms. It also has natural prebiotic properties, encouraging a healthy microbiome.

This extract may support:

  • Gut-brain axis health and cognitive clarity
  • Cardiovascular wellness and blood pressure balance
  • Healthy cholesterol and blood circulation
  • Allergy modulation and inflammatory regulation
  • Microbiome diversity and digestive regularity

Each 7 Gates Apothecary formula is selected by neuro-mycology expert Dr. Doug Wingate and crafted from 100% organic mushroom sources. These integrative blends reflect the synergy between classical Chinese wisdom and modern scientific advancement. Gluten- and GMO-free unless otherwise specified.
