At Mabel, we take our mushroom supplements seriously.
Annoyed and tired of the limited offerings on supplement shelves, we set out to create something better — a sugar-free liquid mushroom supplement that doesn’t force you to choose between potent, clean, and delicious…you can have it all.
No added sugar, just glycerine goodness
One of the most common questions we get: “Is there sugar in your Manna?”
The answer is No.
We use organic flaxseed glycerine — a naturally sweet, low-glycemic carrier that holds our mushroom extracts without the blood sugar spikes. Glycerine (or glycerol) is technically a sugar alcohol — but unlike sugar, it contains no glucose or fructose, and does not spike insulin.
As blood sugar expert Glucose Goddess Jessie Inchauspé says, “You can flatten your glucose curves without cutting out all the foods you love.” Read more from her here.
Glycerine: How much and how it affects blood sugar
Each 5 ml serving of Manna contains approximately 6.3 grams of organic flaxseed glycerine. Glycerine (or glycerol) is often misunderstood. It's not sugar — it's a sugar alcohol with:
- No glucose or fructose
- Glycemic Index of 10–20 (compared to glucose at 100)
- Very low insulin response
- Metabolized slowly by the liver rather than spiking blood sugar
For comparison: a gummy supplement might contain 1–2g of added sugar and raise your glucose noticeably. In contrast, Manna’s glycerine base is designed to be naturally sweet without causing glucose spikes.
Unlike syrups or sweeteners, flaxseed glycerine actually supports your body:
- Omega-3 fatty acids to help regulate inflammation, energy, and support healthy skin
- Lignans to support hormonal balance, especially during perimenopause and menopause
- Antioxidants for heart health, immunity, and cellular repair
So yes — our Manna tastes sweet. But there’s zero added sugar, and absolutely no artificial sweeteners, and no high-glycemic fillers.
Why not capsules, powders, or gummies?
We spent over a year doing R&D testing every format on the market. Here's what we learned:
Capsules
- Hard to swallow
- Often cause irritation or get stuck in the throat
- Poor bioavailability, they need to be broken down by digestion
Gummies
- Sure, they’re fun, but they’re also packed with added sugars, sugar alcohols, preservatives and food coloring
- To make room for flavor, you lose what matters most: the nutrients
- They’re more candy than supplement
As Glucose Goddess Jessie Inchauspé explains:
“The other issue with gummies is that they also contain 1 gram of sugar each. So not only do they not flatten your glucose curve, they lead to glucose spikes.”

We couldn’t agree more, which is why we've skipped the gummy format entirely, no sugar, no crash, no compromise.
Powders
- Let’s be honest — most of them taste awful
- Often mixed with sweeteners, thickeners, or masking agents
- Hard to integrate into daily routines, especially when you’re busy or traveling
Why liquid supplements won our hearts
That’s why we chose liquid — and more specifically, an alcohol-free liquid mushroom extract.
- Up to 10× more bioavailable than capsules or powders
- Faster absorption through the mucous membranes in your mouth
- No alcohol — unlike tinctures
- Safe for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and alcohol-sensitive users
We use ultrasonic extraction to open the mushroom cell walls without alcohol or heat. This keeps the actives potent and bioavailable, without compromise.
