Mushroom supplements demand precision.
Our commitment to functional mushrooms involves rigorous research and collaboration with international experts. We create innovative, evidence-based mushroom supplements that support wellness.
Rooted in nature. Refined by Science.
Cultivation Excellence and Strain Selection
Our functional mushrooms thrive in carefully chosen regions renowned for their purity and ideal climates, such as China, Japan, Malaysia, Siberia, and Mongolia. We meticulously select strains prized for their wellness benefits and continually refine substrates. From organic sawdust and wheat bran for Lion’s Mane to natural wood logs for Reishi, our approach ensures the cultivation of larger, more potent fruiting bodies.
Research, Validation, and Farm Selection
Our mushroom extracts are cultivated based on extensive research and scientific validation, collaborating with top experts and institutions to ensure the highest quality and effectiveness. Careful farm and region selection is integral to our process, sourcing Chaga from the Siberian forests and cultivating Lion’s Mane and Tremella in GuTian County, FuJian Province, celebrated for its ideal microclimate and traditional expertise.
Extraction Methods
We employ various extraction methods:
- Water Extraction: Ideal for beta-glucans, heating functional mushrooms in water to release compounds. Suited for Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Maitake, Tremella, and Shiitake.
- Ethanol Extraction: Excels at extracting non-water-soluble compounds; evaporation techniques ensure a pure product. Suitable for comprehensive extracts.
- Dual Extraction: Combines water and ethanol methods for Reishi, Chaga, and Lion's Mane, providing a potent extract.
Extraction Process
The process is as crucial as the method used. Whole dried functional mushrooms are ground into powder and extracted in hot water, ethanol, or both, over several hours. We conduct two 90-minute extraction rounds at 80 degrees Celsius for thorough extraction. Finally, a purification stage increases solubility and removes impurities, a step often skipped by other companies.
Rigorous Quality Assurance
Our quality assurance exceeds industry expectations, adhering to FSSC 22000 standards and ensuring product purity under both US and European protocols. We surpass US organic certification by meeting European standards, with extensive testing for ethylene oxide (ETO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), pesticides, microbials, heavy metals, and other contaminants, ensuring top safety and purity.
Independent Potency Verification
We conduct independent potency verification to ensure the highest quality of our mushroom supplements. Our testing includes measuring beta-glucans and verifying the absence of contaminants. Reputable labs such as Alkemist, Eurofins, and Helix conduct our testing, ensuring unbiased and reliable results.
