Lab reports

Beta-Glucans 46.3%

1 of 6 - Potency

Why They Matter: Beta-D-glucans are the active compounds that give mushrooms their real health benefits.
Our Standard: We guarantee at least 40% beta-D-glucans—third-party tested for proven potency.
Watch Out: Terms like “high polysaccharides” can hide cheap starch fillers. Always look for beta-D-glucan levels.
True Transparency: Most brands rely on grain-based mycelium with minimal beta-D-glucans. We use only real mushroom fruiting bodies for maximum efficacy.

Get the potency you pay for—insist on tested beta-D-glucans.

Alpha-Glucans 12.4%

2 of 6 - Purity

Why This Matters

Alpha-Glucans as a Quality Check: High alpha-glucan levels often indicate fillers or grain-based mycelium. For Maitake, 12.4% alpha-glucans may appear concerning, but it’s actually due to the Megazyme assay’s recent reclassification of Trehalase—not added fillers.
Grain-Based Mycelium = Lower Quality: Many brands use grain-based mycelium to cut costs, leading to inflated alpha-glucan levels. We focus on real Maitake fruiting bodies, maintaining purity and transparency.
No Fillers, Pure Ingredients: Our third-party testing confirms Maitake remains potent and authentic despite the new alpha-glucan measurement.

With us, you’re getting the full benefits of Maitake, free from unnecessary fillers.

Heavy Metals

3 of 6 - Safety

Why This Matters

Mushrooms Are Bio-Accumulators
By nature, mushrooms can absorb heavy metals from their environment, making strict testing essential.
Stringent EU Standards
The EU enforces some of the world’s toughest limits on lead, cadmium, and mercury. Our levels fall well below these limits for optimal safety.
Safe, Low Readings
Even arsenic, which lacks a specific EU limit, remains at a low, non-hazardous level in our products.
Clean & Reliable Supplements
By meeting and exceeding these standards, we guarantee you’re getting pure, high-quality supplements—free from harmful toxins.

Pesticides

3 of 7 - Safety

Why This Matters

Mushrooms Can Absorb Pesticides
As natural bio-accumulators, mushrooms can store harmful chemicals from the environment, making thorough testing crucial.
Comprehensive Testing
We use both Liquid Chromatography (LC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) to screen for pesticides, going beyond basic requirements to ensure your safety.
Below the Limit of Quantification
Our third-party results show pesticide levels are too low to be measured—indicating practically none detected.
Your Assurance of Safety
While some brands run minimal checks, we conduct full-spectrum screenings to deliver a clean, worry-free product.

Microbials

5 of 6 - Safety

Why This Matters

From Harvest to Home
Mushrooms grow in natural environments and can pick up microbes at any point—during cultivation, transportation, or processing. That’s why we’re committed to stringent safety measures every step of the way.
High Standards, Pure Products
By maintaining low microbial counts and ruling out harmful bacteria, we ensure our mushrooms are as safe and clean when they arrive at your door as they were at the source. This lets you enjoy every serving with total confidence.

Saccharomyces Cerevisae

6 of 6 - Purity

Why This Matters

Preventing Artificial Beta-Glucan Inflation
Some brands use Baker’s Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to falsely boost beta-glucan levels, creating misleading claims about potency.
Two-Tier Testing
We check both regular yeast (DNA detectable, confirmed negative via PCR) and purified yeast (DNA undetectable, verified negative through microscopic analysis). This dual approach ensures zero yeast in our products.
True Mushroom Potency
By ruling out yeast entirely, we protect the integrity of our extracts, so you know the beta-glucan content comes exclusively from real mushrooms. This way, you can trust you’re getting the true benefits you paid for.
