Organic Shiitake Extract + Powder Capsules

Each capsule contains a valuable blend of powder and extract from the organic shiitake vital mushroom (Lentinula edodes): mushroom powder in premium raw food quality and extract from highly pure water extraction. With 30% mushroom polysaccharides in equal parts from Fujian. Vegan, laboratory tested, non-GMO, no additives. 2x90 capsules.

Premium combination of organic shiitake powder and extract
500mg of vital mushroom mixture per capsule: 250mg each of natural powder and extract with 30% polysaccharides from the fruiting body of the whole mushroom
Beneficial mushroom polysaccharides (especially beta-(1-3),(1-6)-D-glucans)
Plus the full range of natural shiitake mushroom compounds
Premium raw food: very gently dried at less than 40°C
Shell-broken process: ultra-finely ground (less than 0.125mm) for optimal absorption of all ingredients, even from the chitinous skeleton of the mushroom
Top terroir: from Gutian County (600-700m.a.s.l.), Fujian, traditionally the best region for vital mushrooms
Traditional, organic certified cultivation
No toxic residues (such as acetone, N-hexane or methanol)
All batches are tested for heavy metals in an independent laboratory

250mg organic shiitake powder plus 250mg shiitake extract with 30% polysaccharides per capsule
Mixture guarantees both high-dose polysaccharides (including beta-(1-3),(1-6)-D-glucans) as well as the full spectrum of shiitake nutrients
Prime harvest: hand-picked from July to October for optimal nutritional value
Traditional extraction method using water and food-grade ethanol, no toxic residues (such as acetone, n-hexane or methanol)
Powder: from the entire fruiting body of the mushroom for optimal enzyme, vitamin, and trace element content
Powder: gently dried at 40°C and finely milled to less than 0.125mm (according to the "shell-broken" method) for optimal absorption of nutrients
From the traditional growing region in Gutian County (600-700m above sea level) in Fujian; pristine area between mountain forests
Exclusively organic cultivation in untouched, protected area (EU certified organic)

The wealth of knowledge passed down through Chinese tradition for over 2000 years regarding the benefits and cultivation of vital mushrooms is truly exceptional. Today, Chinese cultivators produce the most potent mushrooms, having refined their cultivation methods to the point where the cultivated mushrooms rival their wild counterparts. Our mushrooms are sourced from Gutian County in Fujian, world-renowned for its medicinal mushrooms. Our partner farm prioritizes natural and traditional cultivation techniques. The mushrooms are carefully hand-harvested between July and October when they reach their peak nutrient density.

Mushrooms consist of and the mostly underground mycelium and the above-ground fruiting body, where the vital nutrients are primarily concentrated. While products derived from the underground mycelium are cheaper due to their quicker and easier cultivation, they lack the valuable components. That's why we obtain our mushroom powders and extracts from the entire fruiting body, including the stems, capturing the full spectrum of essential nutrients.

Among these nutrients, the mushroom polysaccharides, especially the beta-(1-3),(1-6)-D-glucans, are particularly beneficial. Our mushroom extracts are carefully crafted to concentrate these substances; the gentle extraction process strictly follows traditional methods, using water only, ensuring a highly pure product. As a result, our extracts are free from any toxic residues left behind by chemical solvents like acetone, N-hexane, or methanol.

In contrast to extracts that selectively isolate specific ingredients, mushroom powders encompass the entire range of natural compounds. Our mushroom powders are ground to a fineness of 0.1 mm using the special "shell-broken" process - this ensures that the hard-to-digest mushroom matrix is broken down as much as possible for optimal bioavailability.

The combination of mushroom powder and mushroom extract creates a rich overall compound of the full spectrum of nutrients, with a high concentration of the valuable beta-glucans.

Shiitake

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes, Hua gu)

After the button mushroom (champignon), the shiitake is perhaps the most important edible mushroom in the world. Its special umami aroma and its firm texture have helped it to achieve culinary fame, particularly in Asian cuisine, earning it the nickname "king of mushrooms." The shiitake grows on dead wood in the deciduous forests of Japan, China and Vietnam. Tt has been used there as a food for thousands of years and is also considered one of the most important medicinal mushrooms. Its use in the Chinese tradition is documented in writings dating back over 2000 years. There it is praised as the "elixir of life."

Cultivation & Processing

Our vital mushrooms are sourced from the esteemed region of Gutian County, Fujian, known for its exceptional quality in vital mushroom cultivation. With an elevation of 600-700 meters above sea level, this area has a long-standing tradition of cultivating vital mushrooms, resulting in unparalleled quality. The combination of special soils, cleverly devised substrates, and the pristine natural environment, nestled within densely forested mountains, ensures a concentrated presence of valuable mushroom ingredients. Our mushrooms thrive naturally in this untouched setting and are meticulously hand-harvested at their peak between the months of July and October.

To preserve the full raw food quality of the mushrooms, we employ a gentle drying process below 40°C. This method retains the integrity of the valuable and delicate mushroom nutrients. To enhance their bioavailability, the dried mushrooms are finely ground using the "shellbroken" grinding technique, enabling us to achieve a remarkably fine size of 0.125mm per grain, extracting the nutritional value from both the cells and the chitinous skeleton of the mushrooms. This meticulous approach ensures the highest possible bioavailability of the valuable compounds. We always process the entire fruiting body of the mushrooms, ensuring that our blend harnessed the full spectrum of valuable natural mushroom substances.

To further concentrate the beneficial beta-glucans present in the mushrooms, we transform the gently dried and finely ground fruiting bodies and stems into an extract. Following traditional methods, we employ water as the sole extraction medium. Water extracts have been an integral part of Chinese tradition and Western herbalism for centuries, serving as a preferred technique for producing plant extracts. This gentle extraction method results in a highly pure extract, completely free from any toxic residues of chemical solvents such as acetone, N-hexane or methanol.
