功能性蘑菇

An extract is an EXTRACT of a specific compound found in the mushroom. A whole food is the entire mushroom (the way nature intended.

I personally think that the properties that make these mushrooms so life changing are far more complex than a single compound.

The reason our products have such incredible reviews is because we focus on providing the product as close to its’ natural state as possible.

Some claim that mycelium—the root-like structure of mushrooms—is just “filler.” We’ve found no evidence to support this. Mycelium, like roots in other plants (e.g., valerian or ashwagandha), contains significant benefits.

So why do some brands dismiss mycelium? Likely because overseas suppliers often skip the extra work required to include it. But to us, mycelium is an essential part of delivering the full benefits of the mushroom.

Mushrooms are highly absorbent, which is why seasoned foragers avoid picking them near roadsides, where they absorb pollution. They can also take up heavy metals from contaminated water sources.

For this reason, we exclusively use Australian-grown mushrooms. Even with "organic" certifications, we’re skeptical of imported mushrooms due to potential pollution and questionable growing practices. Australia’s reputation for clean air and water makes it the obvious choice for the highest quality mushrooms.

#1 Mushrooms: Nature’s Sponges for Pollutants

Mushrooms naturally absorb pollutants and heavy metals from their environment, acting like sponges for air and water.

To ensure purity, our mushroom supplements have been grown, dried, and packaged organically in Australia for over 5 years.

#2 Nutrient Preservation

All foods experience some nutrient loss during drying. However, freeze drying stands out as the superior method:

"FD is the best drying technique compared with several other drying techniques, including hot air drying, spray drying, and microwave drying” (study).

Although freeze drying costs 5x more than other methods, we believe it's worth it to deliver the highest-quality supplements possible.

#3 What are you really getting with extracts?

Extracts are often denatured and mostly consist of alcohol or water, losing vital parts of the mushroom.

Additionally, extracts involve discarding parts of the mushroom and can be highly diluted—for example, a small amount of mushroom is often stretched across liters of alcohol or water.

In contrast, our mushrooms are 10x concentrated: it takes 10kg of fresh mushrooms to produce 1kg of freeze-dried mushrooms.

"Prevailing evidence favors whole-food consumption over anthocyanin extracts” (study).

This is why the best mushroom supplements are whole foods, staying as close to their natural state as possible.

#4 Whole Mushrooms for the Full Spectrum of Benefits

Mushrooms are incredibly complex, and science is only beginning to uncover the active compounds that contribute to their health benefits.

Studies reveal that active compounds are found in both the fruiting body (above the soil) and the mycelium (below the soil).

To ensure you get the full spectrum of these beneficial compounds, it’s essential to choose supplements that include both the fruiting body and the mycelium.
