Shroomer doesn't rank or earn commissions on supplements. Shannon co-founded Naturealm, a mushroom supplement brand, which is exactly why we teach the checklist instead. Use it on every brand, Naturealm too. This is education, not medical advice. If you take medication, talk with your doctor before starting a supplement.
