How are bioactive compounds extracted from supplements?
There are several ways to extract them.
-
Hot Water Extraction : This is one of the most common methods for extracting water-soluble compounds, such as beta-glucans, from mushrooms. The fungal material is cooked at controlled temperatures to release these compounds.
- Alcohol Extraction : For compounds that are soluble in alcohol, such as some triterpenes, ethyl alcohol can be used. This method helps to extract components that are not readily soluble in water.
Our supplements use Dual Phase Extraction : It combines both previous methods, first extracting with hot water and then with alcohol. They ensure that the supplements retain their potency and provide the expected therapeutic benefits.
Are they suitable for vegans, vegetarians or those allergic to gluten?
Yes, our supplements do not contain traces of gluten or ingredients of animal origin. The capsule is made of vegetable cellulose.
HEALTH BENEFITS
What are the health benefits of functional mushrooms and fungi?
Functional mushrooms are valued in traditional and modern medicine for their rich composition of bioactive compounds that offer multiple health benefits. These benefits include modulation of the immune system, enhancement of antioxidant response, and anti-inflammatory properties. Key bioactive compounds found in these mushrooms include beta-glucans, which boost immunity; triterpenes, known for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects; and cordycepin, which helps with blood sugar regulation and cellular energy. In addition, recent studies suggest that these compounds may improve cardiovascular and neurological health, offering an integrative and natural approach to managing various chronic health conditions.
What are beta-glucans?
Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides that play a crucial role in modulating the immune system. These compounds stimulate the activity of immune cells such as macrophages, helping to strengthen the body’s defenses against infections. Beta-glucans are found in high concentrations in several medicinal mushrooms, with Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) being one of the most prominent. This mushroom is especially valued for its beta-glucans due to their potent immunomodulatory properties. In addition to Reishi, other mushrooms such as Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and Maitake (Grifola frondosa) are also rich sources of beta-glucans. These compounds are recognized for their ability to stimulate the immune system, improving the body’s response to pathogens and boosting overall health.
What are triterpenes?
Triterpenes are a class of chemical compounds derived from isoprene, often found in various natural forms in plants, animals, and fungi. In the fungal kingdom, triterpenes are especially noted for their diverse pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotective activities.
What diseases can they help treat?
The first thing we want to tell you is that no supplement is the remedy for any disease, trust in modern science and put yourself in the hands of your doctor to treat any condition.
That said, there are numerous studies that support the benefits of functional mushrooms and fungi in improving the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, helping to reduce cholesterol, arthritis and chronic inflammatory processes, digestive problems thanks to the enzyme and fiber content, stress and anxiety thanks to its calming effects, prevention of infections and cognitive decline are conditions in which supplements based on functional mushrooms and fungi have been used successfully.
