Sacred
Formulas
Three ingredients, one formula. Concentrated fruiting-body extracts of lion’s mane and maitake, carried by Colombian trapiche panela. Nothing is added to make up weight, and nothing is added to make it dissolve.
Lion’s mane and maitake, extracted and standardized, set into powdered panela — sugarcane juice boiled down and never refined. A 450 g pouch, about 56 servings of 8 g. It goes into the coffee you already make.
LION’S MANE
A mushroom you cannot mistake for another: a cascade of white spines growing on wood. Saccro uses the fruiting body only, never mycelium grown on grain.
ORIGIN
Grows on the trunks of hardwood trees in Asia, Europe and North America. It has been part of East Asian cooking and infusions for centuries.
HOW WE USE IT
A 12:1 concentrated fruiting-body extract: the soluble compounds of twelve kilos of mushroom are concentrated into one kilo of extract, standardized to more than 30 % polysaccharides. Hot-water extracted in a GMP-compliant facility. That is what we dose from.
IN THE FORMULA
One of the two extracts in Seta Panela, Edition N.º 1 of the Sacred Formulas. Each 8 g serving carries the equivalent of 2.4 g of fruiting body.

MAITAKE
The dancing mushroom. It grows in overlapping fans that recall the feathers of a hen — hence its other name, hen of the woods. Fruiting body only.
ORIGIN
Grows at the base of oaks and chestnuts in Japan, China and North America. Present in East Asian tradition for generations.
HOW WE USE IT
A 10:1 concentrated fruiting-body extract: the soluble compounds of ten kilos of mushroom are concentrated into one kilo of extract, standardized to more than 30 % polysaccharides. Hot-water extracted in a GMP-compliant facility.
IN THE FORMULA
The second extract in Seta Panela, Edition N.º 1 of the Sacred Formulas. Each 8 g serving carries the equivalent of 1.25 g of fruiting body.

SUGAR CANE
Ancestral sweetness and, here, the delivery system. Colombian trapiche panela: powdered, unrefined, and the only carrier in the formula.
ORIGIN
From the Colombian trapiche, the mill where cane juice is pressed and boiled down over open fire until it solidifies — nothing bleached out, nothing added back. It is the sweetener that has been in the country’s kitchens for generations, and Colombia drinks more of it than any other country on earth. Saccro sources it from value chains that support smallholder families and strengthen rural economies.
HOW WE USE IT
It carries the formula: conditioned and standardized so the extract disperses evenly, and so each serving can be dosed exactly, in drinks and recipes, hot or cold. No maltodextrin, no starches, no fillers or synthetic excipients — the carrier is an ingredient in its own right, not a bulking agent.
IN THE FORMULA
The base the two extracts of Seta Panela are dosed onto. A 450 g pouch holds about 56 servings of 8 g.

I swapped the sugar in my morning coffee for a scoop three months ago. It tastes like actual cane, not like flat sweetness.
Marisa Holloway Portland, OR -
What sold me is not having to keep simple syrup in the fridge. One scoop and the cold brew is done.
Devon Pryce Austin, TX -
My question was whether it would dissolve cold. It does, with no grit. I use it in the morning smoothie.
Aisha Bennett Chicago, IL -
Ordered on a Tuesday, here on Thursday. The pouch arrived sealed and intact, no powder anywhere in the box.
Ray Okonkwo Miami, FL -
The toasted edge of the panela works with coffee. My husband never took anything sweet and he switched to this.

What is Seta Panela?
Seta Panela is a powdered food blend made from Colombian panela and concentrated functional mushroom extracts.
It was made to fold into the drinks and recipes you already prepare, turning them into a mushroom preparation without asking you to change your habits.
What does it taste like?
Seta Panela keeps panela’s own flavour, with soft molasses and caramel notes. The mushroom extracts add a light umami base that the panela balances out; in coffee, matcha, tea and most preparations it goes practically unnoticed.
What is the recommended serving?
The recommended serving is 8 g — a level scoop — per day.
Some people prefer one serving a day; others use two or more depending on their preferences and goals. Functional mushrooms have a wide safety margin and there is no known risk of overdose at the amounts usually consumed. Past a certain point the body simply stops absorbing part of some of their compounds, which are eliminated naturally.
Can I take it every day?
Yes.
Seta Panela was made for everyday use as part of a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication, we recommend checking with a healthcare professional first.
Is that much panela every day a problem?
Each 8 g serving of Seta Panela contains about 7.5 g of sugars naturally present in the panela.
That is roughly 15 % of the FDA Daily Value for added sugars on a 2,000-calorie diet (50 g per day).
For most people that amount can be part of a balanced diet, especially when it replaces the sugar you would otherwise add to coffee, tea or other drinks. Like any food that contains sugar, it belongs in the context of each person’s daily diet.
Is it a medicine?
No.
Seta Panela is a food made from Colombian panela and concentrated functional mushroom extracts. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it should not replace treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional.
