Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus)

• 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.

Why This Matters

• Alpha-Glucans as a Quality Check: High alpha-glucan levels can indicate fillers or impurities. Oyster mushrooms naturally contain a higher amount of alpha-glucans than other mushrooms. At just 17.0%, our Oyster mushroom stays remarkably pure.
• Grain-Based Mycelium = Lower Quality: Many mushroom supplements use grain-based mycelium, resulting in inflated alpha-glucan content.
• No Fillers, Pure Ingredients: Antioxi’s low alpha-glucan reading shows it’s free of grain fillers, ensuring higher integrity and potency.

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.

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.

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.

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.
