How We Achieve Purer, More Potent Mushroom Extracts Than the Competition

Origin and Selection of Raw Materials
The foundation of our quality lies in the rigorous selection of mushrooms. While some companies use lower-quality crops or add byproducts to reduce costs, we work with carefully supervised raw materials, ensuring that each batch meets high standards of purity. Furthermore, we process over 20 kg of mushrooms to obtain 1 kg of extract , guaranteeing an unmatched concentration of active compounds without resorting to any carriers or fillers.
Furthermore, the initial washing and sorting process removes any impurities or residue , preserving only those mushrooms that are in optimal condition for further processing. This rigor at the source stage makes the difference between a standard product and a superior-quality supplement.
Dual Extraction: The Secret of Our Effectiveness
One of the elements that really sets us apart from other brands is our use of the dual extraction method (water + ethanol).
-
Hot water extraction
- It mainly extracts polysaccharides such as beta-glucans, responsible for regulating and strengthening the immune system.
- It prevents the loss of compounds that could be destroyed at prolonged high temperatures, thus protecting their integrity.
-
Ethanol extraction
- It allows us to obtain triterpenes (in Ganoderma lucidum) and erinacines (in Hericium erinaceus), which would otherwise be left out if only water were used.
- Its combination with the aqueous fraction provides a much more complete spectrum of compounds.
Other brands often skip the alcohol phase or use less thorough processes, losing a significant portion of the active ingredients. However, our double extraction helps us capture the full potential of each mushroom, resulting in a higher-quality extract.
Mushrooms have cell walls rich in chitin , a tough fiber that hinders the release and absorption of bioactive compounds (such as beta-glucans and triterpenes). Thanks to our dual extraction stages (hot water + ethanol) and exhaustive filtration, these chitin barriers are partially broken down, more effectively releasing the active ingredients. Heat and solvents act on the cell wall structure, opening the way for polysaccharides and other fat-soluble substances that would otherwise remain trapped. By breaking down or weakening this chitin matrix, the end result is an extract with more bioavailable particles, allowing the body to absorb these compounds more quickly and efficiently.
After obtaining the water- and ethanol-soluble fraction, our extract undergoes a series of exhaustive filtrations and spray drying , which retains most of the active compounds without exposure to extreme temperatures. This meticulous care is another aspect that sets us apart:
- No Reintroduction of Solids : Some brands reintroduce insoluble waste to thicken the final product, diminishing the actual quality of the extract. We never do this , keeping only what is truly useful and beneficial for the body.
- Carrier-Free : By not adding maltodextrin, starches, or other “fillers,” every gram of our powder corresponds to pure active ingredient.
- Superior Safety Standards : We monitor for the presence of heavy metals (≤10 ppm) and arsenic (≤2 ppm). Few companies invest in such rigorous monitoring of potential contaminants.
- Fine and Homogeneous Sieving : The product passes through an 80 mesh sieve, ensuring uniformity in texture and facilitating its incorporation into different formats (capsules, sachets, powders).
This comprehensive approach gives our supplements higher bioavailability and a more complete active compound profile, which translates into superior results for those who consume them.
Our Commitment to Excellence
In a market where many are content with minimally standardizing their processes and offering "similar" products, we stand out by applying scientifically proven methodologies and strict controls at every stage of production. From raw materials to final packaging, every step is geared toward maximizing the beneficial properties of Ganoderma lucidum and Hericium erinaceus mushrooms.
Dual extraction , attention to purity, and the complete absence of fillers and insolubles make our extracts of the highest quality , far surpassing what most competitors offer. If you're looking for a product that truly harnesses the potential of functional mushrooms, you'll find the tangible difference here: true concentration of active compounds, extreme purity, and optimal efficacy .
Our superior processes can make a difference in your health and well-being!
