SuperFeast is one of the largest medicinal mushroom brands in Australia and has been in the herbal tonic business for over a decade. As someone passionate about traditional medicine, I was keen to learn more about SuperFeast, try their products, chat with their founder Mason, and share my review.
A Look Into SuperFeast:
SuperFeast was founded and created by health advocate, Mason Taylor. Mason Taylor has conducted numerous interviews and podcasts. As you observe his passionate approach toward his company, a SuperFeast statement presents itself in multiple places: “We do not sell anything we would not give to our own family!”
Similar to my own health journey, throughout his life, Taylor had chronic physical and mental health issues (exhaustion and candida). Having been let down by modern medicine, he sought answers in the ancient world of herbal remedies, and to his surprise… he fell in love with it. This marked the beginning of the traditional tonic brand that we now know as SuperFeast. The company specialises in medical mushrooms as well as tonic herbs and minerals.
Founded in 2011, the family business initially operated in Australia before expanding to the United States. Using their 2 websites and social media channels, they appeal to a huge number of clients across the globe.

- The company has a strong belief on authentic Di Dao sourcing and Daoist philosophy
- The products are hot water extracted and dual extracted for superior bioavailability

- SuperFeast has donated over $50,000 as of October 2021 and are working towards a goal of donating 2% of all revenue to land care and indigenous charities.
Cons – how they could improve
- Beta-glucan amount is currently not specified on the label. It would be awesome to see this in the future
- Their medicinal mushroom products are not organic. It would be great to see SuperFeast’s products as Certified Organic. Don’t forget however that they do strict testing at TGA accredited facilities and their products are non GMO.
