Mushrooms have been treasured for thousands of years for their profound ability to support our immune systems. Shiitake is one of the first mushrooms cultivated in China and Japan and is considered a delicacy in many Asian cuisines. But inside this tender, delicious mushroom lie a richness of polysaccharides that support gut cells and immune health.
We use the easy-to-absorb mycelium in our formulas to ensure maximum power and potency. Mycelium is the primordial thread-like hyphae that serve as the basis for growth for the mushroom fruiting body or "cap." A mushroom spends the vast majority of its life cycle in the mycelium phase during which time it produces a wide variety of enzymes and nutrients. The presence of these bioactive metabolites and enzymes are found in the richest concentrations in the soft mycelium cell walls and its extracellular substrate (collectively known as the mycelium biomass). Research indicates these interesting secondary metabolites have the potential to yield very promising health benefits for humans.
Our mycelium is carefully monitored throughout its growth to ensure the complete development of all its active beneficial constituents. After harvest, we utilize a special cold-drying and precision cold-milling technique to preserve its full array of heat-sensitive enzymes and extracellular compounds. When mycelium is heated, it can degrade many of these valuable, immune-supportive compounds. Our objective is to produce the cleanest, purest, most whole, bioactive mycelium product to support healthy cellular and immune function.
