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

Los hongos absorben de forma natural los contaminantes y metales pesados de su entorno, actuando como esponjas para el aire y el agua.

Para garantizar su pureza, nuestros suplementos de setas se han cultivado, secado y envasado de forma ecológica en Australia durante más de 5 años.

#2 Nutrient Preservation

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

"La FD es la mejor técnica de secado en comparación con otras técnicas de secado, como el secado por aire caliente, el secado por pulverización y el secado por microondas"(estudio).

Aunque la liofilización cuesta 5 veces más que otros métodos, creemos que merece la pena para ofrecer suplementos de la mayor calidad posible.

#3 What are you really getting with extracts?

Los extractos suelen estar desnaturalizados y se componen principalmente de alcohol o agua, con lo que se pierden partes vitales de la seta.

Además, los extractos implican desechar partes de la seta y pueden estar muy diluidos; por ejemplo, una pequeña cantidad de seta suele extenderse a través de litros de alcohol o agua.

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

"La evidencia predominante favorece el consumo de alimentos integrales frente a los extractos de antocianinas"(estudio).

Por eso, los mejores suplementos de setas son los alimentos integrales, que se mantienen lo más cerca posible de su estado natural.

#4 Whole Mushrooms for the Full Spectrum of Benefits

Las setas son increíblemente complejas, y la ciencia sólo está empezando a descubrir los compuestos activos que contribuyen a sus beneficios para la salud.

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.
