Only the best of mushrooms! USA medical organic mushroom extract capsules have a polysaccharide content of over 30%! And for even more efficient absorption, we have added valuable acerola extract!
We have taken great care in the creation of our products to use only the valuable mushroom extract instead of plain ground mushroom powder, thus providing a pure and high quality supplement for those seeking the true essence of mushrooms with concentrated polysaccharide active ingredients!
Why is the USA medical mushroom extract product line completely different from other mushroom powder products? Because:
- the extracts contain only the best of the best mushrooms with concentrated active ingredients!
- Compared to powder, the extract has approximately 10 times the polysaccharide concentration
- it is not a powder but a concentrated extract with more than 30% polysaccharide content
- is made using only organically grown organic mushrooms
- extra fine grinding for release of active ingredients and thus excellent absorption
- the most gentle production process: the extract is obtained from the mushroom powder by extraction using only hot water, without the use of alcohol
- the addition of acerola has made it even more effective, as its extract helps the polysaccharides to be absorbed more efficiently, and there is no need to use a separate acerola preparation with the mushroom capsule
- contains absolutely no grains or forbidden mycelium, the extract is made exclusively from the powdered mushroom body.
Unfortunately, there are many mushroom powder products that contain mycelium ("root" structure) instead of the mushroom fruiting body. In addition, these products contain a large proportion of grain on which the mycelium grows. This is an excess filler with a low active ingredient content.
How is USA medical organic mushroom extract made? Careful harvesting, gentle processing!
In order to preserve the important polysaccharides, the mushrooms are dried immediately after careful harvesting in different ways depending on the species and condition: partially sun-dried, for more delicate mushrooms in a traditional drying system. The wood used for propagation is used as fuel in the plants and the ash as fertiliser in the fields. The almost complete processing and recycling of materials was also an important objective from a sustainability point of view.
After the drying phase, the fruiting bodies of the medicinal mushrooms are preserved. The milling process also varies depending on the type of mushroom. Some mushroom types, by their nature, require coarse milling or pre-treatment with several milling steps to achieve the desired fineness.
The extraction process
The extremely fine powder is obtained by the particularly efficient "shellbroken" process, during which the cell walls of the mushrooms are broken open. After processing, our powder has a particle size of less than 0.125 mm, which makes it of outstanding quality and bioavailable.
Thanks to this fine grinding, the ingredients are particularly well absorbed by the body. Coarse powder and grinds are hardly suitable for dietary supplementation, as the ingredients in this form are difficult for the body to utilise. Crushed medicinal mushrooms can be made into teas, for example. Extraction using hot water ensures the bioavailability of the important components from the mushroom extract. The subsequent filtration and centrifugation process removes fibres and other water-insoluble substances. From 100 kg of dried mushrooms used, only 6 to 20 kg of extract remain after extraction, depending on the type of mushroom.
The fungal powders on which the extracts are based also contain polysaccharides. However, these important substances have lower amounts and bioavailability compared to extracts. What makes the mushroom powders used for teas so interesting is their general composition and the diversity of nutrients.
In the case of extracts, the emphasis is on the high polysaccharide content. During the complex and lengthy extraction process, polysaccharides are released from the cell wall of the fungi, making them bioavailable. Polysaccharides include, for example, beta-D-glucans, which, like other polysaccharides, have been the focus of many international studies.
What are polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are some of the most powerful and well-known active substances in fungi, long-chain carbohydrates composed of various monosaccharides. Most of the polysaccharides are embedded in the chitin matrix of the fungal cell wall. Soaking extra-fine ground mushroom powder in hot water increases the bioavailability of the hot water soluble immunomodulatory polysaccharides.
In fact, the polysaccharides in mushrooms are powerful bioactive substances that have led health experts to focus on mushrooms as a food with medicinal benefits.
The science behind polysaccharides:
Polysaccharides are the most accessible natural biopolymers, with diverse physical and chemical properties that make them promising candidates in many biomedical fields. Thorough investigation and clarification of the biocatalytic properties of polysaccharides is key to gaining greater insight into the precise mechanisms of their potential actions and to fully exploring their future applications. Over the last decades, polysaccharides have attracted a lot of attention and are considered as one of the most potent alternatives to conventional therapy.
