TRE House Mushroom Gummies Could Be Dangerous

TRE House Mushroom Gummies are soft, chewy treats that are infused with a blend of adaptogenic mushrooms and nootropic ingredients. These gummies are formulated to be a safe and effective way to microdose for euphoria, cognitive enhancement and wellness. It is recommended to start with one gummy per day and increase the dosage gradually to determine how the effects affect you. This is a great option for people that want to experience the benefits of mushrooms without feeling the “trippy” hallucinations associated with the psilocybin found in magic mushrooms.

These gummies aren’t the first mushroom-based supplements to appear at grocery stores, health and wellness shops or online. They join mushroom capsules, powders and extract-based products that also claim to help improve focus, concentration, mood and memory. But gummies are the latest iteration, and they promise to offer a tastier, mess-free experience than traditional pills or powders.

What Are Mushroom Gummies and Why You Should Try Them

But it turns out they could be a lot more dangerous than that, with reports of poisonings across the country and, in one case, a death linked to consuming them. Using a lab, UVA’s Poison Center tested five brands of “magic mushroom” gummies sold in central Virginia gas stations and smoke shops. They discovered that three of the gummies contained psilocybin or psilocin, which are considered psychedelic drugs and illegal under federal law. The other gummies contained stimulants like caffeine and herbs such as kratom, which produce opioid-like effects and can be addictive.

Mushroom gummies are not regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration or Food Standards Australia and New Zealand, the two bodies that regulate herbal medicines and functional foods, respectively. Uncle Frog, the Australian company that makes these gummies, advertised them as “free from CBD, CBN, and THC (hexahydrocannabinol and tetrahydrocannabinol)” on its website.
