Alright, let’s talk mushrooms and nootropics: have you heard of them yet? Maybe you’ve seen the mushroom coffee trend or the countless other nootropic supplements that have hit the market over the last few years. 

Admittedly, my first thought when I think of mushrooms is yuck - I’ve never liked eating mushrooms, but the mushrooms we’re going to be talking about in this article aren’t the ones that often accompany a beef stroganoff. And if you’re wondering if these are those “magic mushrooms” that will send you on a psychedelic trip, they’re not those, either.

Troomy is a gummy supplement brand that offers a selection of mushroom gummies designed to help with a variety of ailments, from stress relief to improving your hair, skin, and nails, all in a safe, natural way.

I got to try a handful of Troomy supplements and am excited to share my feedback with you. Fun fact: I first tried Troomy gummies back in 2022 and really enjoyed them, but never shared about them. When I got a chance to try them again, I jumped at the chance. They now have some new formulations, branding, etc., so I was eager to give them another try. 

Which Troomy Supplements I Got and Why

Ok, let’s start by talking about which Troomy Gummies I got and why. Troomy now has 8 different nootropic mushroom supplements to choose from. They have a quiz (albeit very short and basic…) on their website to try to help you decide which formulation is right for you. I took the quiz and they recommended their calm gummies (because I indicated that I have high stress and their Natural Shine Gummies (because I indicated that I struggle with the quality of my hair, skin, and nails).

I had already tried the calm gummies before (and they were great!), so I skipped those in lieu of trying something new. The 4 products I ended up ordering were:

• Recovery (for muscle growth and recovery)
• Sleep (for better sleep quality)
• Shine (supports hair, skin, and nails)
• Focus (for improved concentration)
• Additional options include:
• Daily (supports overall wellness)
• Calm (for a peaceful mind)
• Energy (for a boost)

I mostly got the Focus and Brain Power Capsules for my husband as he tends to like to experiment with those types of products. Personally, I was excited for the Shine (hair, skin, nails), Recovery (stress relief, muscle building, and fatigue relief), and Sleep (decreased stress and healthy sleep).

As a personal trainer and someone who lives a very active, busy lifestyle, I need all the help I can get to keep my body feeling rested and energized.

Gummy Taste, Texture

Before I get into anything else, I have to say that Troomy Gummies are by far the best-tasting gummies I’ve ever had. In case you’re nervous, like I was, about the gummies having a weird “mushroom” taste, they don’t at all. In fact, if someone just handed me these gummies without telling me what’s inside them, I’d think it was a piece of candy.

They’re that good. Plus, Troomy really nailed the texture of their gummies, too. It’s soft and chewy, not hard and sticky. The gummies aren’t coated in sugar or anything else, which I really like. And each gummy has its own flavor blend. For example, the Shine nootropic gummies have a white peach pomegranate flavor. How unique! And it’s insanely delicious. There’s no doubt you’ll be consistent with taking these supplements because they taste so darn good.

What’s In Them?

The main ingredients in each of these gummy formulations include at least one functional mushroom with some additional natural ingredients to boost benefits and effects. They use full-spectrum mushrooms, which I assume is the highest potency. 

All Troomy products have been 3rd-party tested for purity and potency, which is the gold standard for supplement companies, as this level of testing is shockingly not required by the FDA. 

Other ingredients in these gummies include things like natural flavors, pectin (not gelatin) for the gummy texture, citric acid, vegetable oil, etc. I highly recommend reading the product labels before purchasing if you have any aversions to any ingredients. 

From a calorie perspective, each serving of gummies (usually 1-2 gummies per serving) has between 15-30 calories, which isn’t bad. There is sugar in the gummies, however, I couldn’t find anywhere that said how much. 

Benefits and Results

Now the big question: do they work? Are they worth it? 

Let me start by talking about sleep gummies because they have been the most effective and noticeable for me. When I take a Sleep Gummy or two before bed, I am out like a light, sleep all night long, and have a hard time waking up in the morning. They almost work too well.

The sleep gummies contain mushrooms plus a small amount of melatonin, making them highly effective for getting a solid night’s sleep. 

As for the other products, I’ve been taking the Shine gummies for about 30 days consistently and am absolutely seeing benefits in my hair and nails. My nails are getting stronger and more durable, and my hair is feeling healthier.

The Focus gummies go to work almost instantly, giving me a quick boost of energy and concentration. I only take 1 of those at a time, because I seem to be pretty sensitive to that type of product. 

As for the Recovery gummies, it’s honestly hard to tell how well they are working because there aren’t any instant results. I view these gummies as more of a thing you take because you hope it’s doing something good for you on the inside, vs something that shows immediate results (if that makes sense). It’s kind of like taking your daily multivitamin - you know it’s good for you, but you can’t always quantify or pinpoint results. 

Are Troomy Gummies Worth It?

My answer? Yes! I am just as impressed with Troomy mushroom gummies now as I was when I first tried them a few years back. Maybe even more so. Aside from the fact that these gummies taste fantastic and they deliver results, they’re actually really affordable. 

I am so used to seeing niche supplements have a giant price tag that I was shocked to see that Troomy gummies cost just $19.99 per month for a one-time purchase and $15.99 per month if you do the subscription option. 

Do I think these are supplements that everyone needs? Of course not. These are extras that can provide you with some relief and benefits in a natural way, using a product with ingredients and testing that you can feel good about.
