One of the ultimate Qi tonics of the Daoist herbal system, Astragalus has a rich history of use in Asian cultures; it is native to China, Mongolia, and North Korea. Astragalus is believed to strengthen the immune system, muscular systems and support metabolic function. As an immune system tonic, Astragalus tonifies what the Chinese call "Wei Qi" or "protective Qi," which is the energy that runs just below the surface of the skin. Astragalus has been used to cultivate a robust circulatory system, enhance surface and deep immunity, tonify the Liver, support Spleen Qi, and boost vitality. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this herb is that above all other herbs, tonic herbalists throughout the Orient and now the West will take this root herb more consistently and constantly than any other, due to its ability to nourish the core functions of life and promote longevity and vitality. Astragalus is one of the few herbs that is recommended for kids, and is a useful tonic to have in the family home apothecary to assist in keeping the immune system strong.

In 2011, Mason Taylor’s passion for health and his desire to access the world's best supplements, herbs and medicinal mushrooms led to the creation of SuperFeast. Mason founded the business in the family home in suburban Gladesville, Sydney. In those days, the dream to become a mushroom and tonic herb company was so huge that it seemed impossible. Drawing inspiration from the herbalists that Mason adored, alongside his experience with longevity-enhancing supplements, SuperFeast began offering a range of obscure health products. Six months into the birth of SuperFeast, Mason’s mother Janesse suffered a debilitating stroke. The months following involved emergency care, rehabilitation and the slow adjustment to a new way of life. SuperFeast would never have existed without Janesse. After his mum’s aneurysm, Mason made a conscious decision to become thoroughly dedicated to SuperFeast and its mission to prevent as much degeneration and illness as humanly possible while promoting flourishing health. It was with this new energy that the tonic herbs and mushrooms were included in the SuperFeast range.
From humble beginnings in his mum’s garage, SuperFeast has grown into Australia’s leading supplier of Dì Dào (地道) tonic herbs and mushrooms. They believe there can be absolutely no compromise on quality when it comes to sourcing all of their herbs. They must reflect and be of the standard that allowed these herbs to rise to become the most revered in Taoist herbalism thousands of years ago. Sourcing herbs from their spiritual homeland is born from the Taoist philosophy Dì Dào (地道). Dì Dào (地道) poetically translates as the ‘way of the Earth’, and it shows us where to harvest herbs if we wish to experience the herb’s true Spirit. This method results in a medicinally robust and Qi-full end product sourced from its ‘original place’ or ‘spiritual homeland’. Dì Dào (地道) is the classification given to the highest quality herbs in China and describes the core sourcing philosophy they practice at SuperFeast. Since the essence of Taoism is rooted in the Classical Era texts of Chinese Medicine, so, too, is SuperFeast’s sourcing.
