Pioneering authentic, organic functional extracts in South Africa since 2010.
For over a decade, Medi Mushrooms has been committed to providing carefully selected functional mushroom extracts, inspired by nature and crafted to support everyday wellness, vitality, and balance.
Ancient treasures encapsulated, at 8:1 extract potency in amber glass bottles.
Medi Mushrooms® began not as a business idea, but as a quiet calling to help others heal, grow and reconnect with their bodies.
In 2010, founder Fran Fainman discovered medicinal mushrooms at a wellness conference in California. What started as curiosity quickly became a mission. She returned to South Africa with a suitcase full of mushroom powders and a deep sense of purpose, and Medi Mushrooms was born.
For over 15 years, Fran has been the heart of the brand, sharing the benefits of Reishi, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane and other functional mushrooms long before they became mainstream. Today, Medi Mushrooms has grown into a trusted national brand, while remaining a family business at its core.
The next chapter brings in Fran’s son, Eytan Gabriel Fainman, as strategic advisor. Once a skeptic, Eytan became a believer through his own experience with medicinal mushrooms, using Lion’s Mane for focus, Cordyceps for energy and Reishi for calm.
Together, Fran and Eytan bring wisdom, energy, care and innovation to the brand. Medi Mushrooms is not simply following the mushroom movement. We helped build it, quietly and consistently, long before it became a trend.
Our 8:1 organic mushroom extracts are clean, potent and pure, with no fluff and no fillers. And if you are ever unsure where to start, just ask. This is more than a business. It is a family, and our door is always open.

"I have been privileged to be in the natural medicine space for more than 20 years. When I started in this field there were no mushroom products available, so I didn't know too much about them. Fast forward a few years and it's a very different landscape now with so many mushroom products on the market..."
