medicinal mushrooms

Mushrooms have been valued as medicine since the dawn of human history. Venerated in many cultures throughout the world, mushrooms are an integral component of any healthy ecosystem. Appropriately, mushrooms are some of our most potent herbs for promoting a healthy immune system. The last few decades have seen extensive scientific scrutiny of the fungal kingdom, and various species exhibit great promise for deterring a host of diseases. Medicinal mushrooms may possess the solutions to many maladies plaguing modern man. Science has found a multitude of beneficent active compounds, with the greatest focus on immunopotentiating complex sugar molecules known as polysacharrides, unique to each species. Studies have revealed that consuming several medicinal mushroom species together has more pronounced immune enhancement than a single species taken alone.

We offer imported powdered mushrooms and optimized mycelium biomass powders. The mycelium powders are from specially selected medicinal strains grown on organic brown rice at the start of mushroom formation, so the end product contains the broadest, highest concentrations of active medicinal constituents. Drying and powdering assures easy digestion and high bioavailability. They consistently test as high as 15–20% for beta glucan polysaccharides. We also have a few select species grown on organic Peruvian Purple Corn, which provides the added bonus of antioxidant anthocyanins and an actual increase in the active components of the fungus!
