#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.
