About Me

Welcome Home! I'm Andrew Cappetta, founder and lead mycologist of Bloomcap Naturals™. What started as a personal health journey has evolved into a deep passion for mycology and a commitment to producing the highest-quality mushroom extracts possible.

Podcast Interview with the Nutrition Therapy Institute

I recently sat down with Dianne Koehler, Director of the Nutrition Therapy Institute, to discuss medicinal mushrooms, fruiting bodies vs grain-grown mycelium, and how consumers can identify truly high-quality mushroom products.

Years ago, I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia. Like many people searching for answers, I struggled to find meaningful solutions through conventional approaches. That challenge inspired me to take my health into my own hands and enroll at the Nutrition Therapy Institute (NTI)—a school that completely transformed my perspective on food, healing, and vitality. NTI gave me the foundation to understand the body holistically and sparked my interest in the profound benefits of functional mushrooms.

Today, I personally craft all of our tinctures using only organic mushroom fruiting bodies—never mycelium, fillers, or grains. I follow a triple extraction process using pharmaceutical-grade sugarcane-derived alcohol and hot water to unlock both alcohol- and water-soluble compounds such as beta-glucans, triterpenes (including ganoderic acids), sterols, and antioxidants. The result is a highly bioavailable tincture you can feel confident taking every day.

Every mushroom is grown, harvested, and extracted by me—ensuring quality and integrity at every step. No shortcuts, no synthetics—just clean, potent, whole-mushroom extracts you can trust.
