Anchor – The Stability Tincture

It’s been a few weeks since our last entry in the Freedom Enhancers: Myco Series blog series, and we’re excited to get things rolling again with a closer look at a mushroom that deserves way more attention than it gets: Maitake.

This is our third deep dive into the tinctures we’ve developed, tested, and now take daily. First, we covered Momentum, then we explored Fortify, our flagship 7-mushroom blend. Today, we turn to a solo powerhouse: Anchor.

Why Maitake?

Anchor is our 100% Maitake tincture—dual-extracted, fruiting body only—and designed to help your body find its footing when it comes to blood sugar, hormone balance, and metabolic health. This isn’t about chasing energy spikes or crashes. This is about stability.

Maitake (Grifola frondosa), sometimes called the “dancing mushroom,” has been used for centuries in traditional Eastern medicine to support the body’s natural insulin sensitivity and immune function. But more recently, it’s gaining recognition for its ability to assist with:

• Healthy blood sugar regulation
• Hormonal balance, especially during perimenopause or menopause
• Metabolic support and weight management
• Immune modulation and cellular defense

Why We Take It

This one hits home for a lot of people in our circle—especially women. When we first began working with Maitake, it was clear from the beginning that this mushroom had tremendous potential for supporting hormonal balance. From perimenopause to metabolic shifts, its adaptogenic profile offers steady, restorative support across multiple systems.

Personally, I’ve added Anchor to my daily stack not just for its metabolic edge, but for how it rounds out my morning. When combined with Catalyst, Acuity, and Guardian, I get a balance of energy, clarity, gut support, and internal regulation that sets the tone for everything else.

How to Use It

Just like the rest of our tinctures, Anchor is dual-extracted (alcohol + hot water), flavor-neutral, and designed to be taken directly or added to your favorite drink. We recommend 1–2 droppers per day, ideally in the morning or early afternoon.

I usually add it to my first cup of Freedom Forged Coffee along with the rest of my stack.

Built to Keep You Steady

The name says it all—Anchor is here to help you stay grounded. In a world of blood sugar spikes, brain fog, and burnout, this is a formula designed for consistency. For foundation. For feeling like yourself again.

And like every formula in the Freedom Enhancers line, it’s made with real people in mind—from our families to yours.
