Our Arthro Vital Organic is a premium blend with six different vital mushroom extracts from organic cultivation plus freeze-dried acerola fruit.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps is an extremely rare and precious mushroom. It predominantly grows at over 3000m in the plateaus of Tibet and was discovered there by yak herders, who noticed an extraordinary vitality and resistance in their animals, which ate cordyceps mushrooms while grazing. Cordyceps has traditionally been used in China for almost 1500 years.
Pleurotus
The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) has been mentioned in herbal books from the 16th century and has been cultivated for over 100 years. Today it is one of the most widely cultivated cultivated mushrooms. It is a globally widespread winter mushroom that only forms its fruiting bodies at temperatures below 10°C. Pleurotus is considered one of the most promising representatives of edible mushrooms due to its intensive scientific research and numerous special mushroom ingredients.
Maitake
Maitake comes from Japan and means "dancing mushroom." The legend associated with this name says that a dance of joy was performed when it was found, as this mushroom is so valuable and extremely rare to find. Maitake is a very tasty edible mushroom and has been collected and eaten as a delicacy in China and Japan for thousands of years. It has been traditionally used in China for over 2000 years.
Reishi
Reishi is one of the most important mushrooms in traditional Chinese herbalism. Revered as the "mushroom of immortality" or "mushroom of eternal life," it is perhaps the most important mushroom there. According to tradition and early records, reishi has been used for around 4000 years.
Shiitake
After the button mushroom, the shiitake is perhaps the most important edible mushroom in the world. Its special aroma with strong umami and its firm texture have helped it achieve culinary fame, particularly in Asian cuisine, and earned it the nickname "king of mushrooms." Shiitake grows on dead wood in the deciduous forests of Japan, China and Vietnam. It has been used in these countries as a food for thousands of years and is also considered one of the most important vital mushrooms. Its use in Chinese tradition is documented in writings dating back over 2000 years, where it has been praised as the "elixir of life."
Polyporus
Polyporus umbellatus is a rare but popular edible mushroom. It prefers to grow in warmer deciduous forests, especially on the stumps or roots of oaks and beeches. The highest bioactive content is found in the underground, so-called sclerotium, a special, solid mushroom organ that ensures survival in frost or drought.
Acerola
The acerola shrub is native to Central and South America. Its fruits resemble European cherries but are not related to them. Acerola grows mainly on roadsides and along rivers, but also on dry, rocky mountain slopes at altitudes of up to 1600m. The acerola cherry is known for its exceptionally high natural vitamin C content of approximately 1700mg per 100g in the fresh fruit.
