Question 1

where is is grown and processed?

Accepted Answer

Hello Kas,

All of our mushrooms are sourced/grown and processed in China via Nammex.

Our supplier, Nammex has over 40 years of organic mushroom growing experience and was among the first companies to bring organic medicinal mushroom extracts to North America.

Did you know that China is the leading supplier of mushrooms worldwide and supplies over 85% of the world’s mushrooms. It has a rich history of mushroom use as both food and medicine and is the birthplace of mushroom cultivation with shiitake being farmed in the early 1200s. China is one of the only places in the world where you can grow 100% organic mushrooms (fruiting body) for the supplement industry at scale.

We hope that helps.

Thanks,

Question 2

Is this for weight loss ?

Accepted Answer

Hello Tamera,

There are many factors at play here like age, gender, nutrition, environment, toxin exposure, hormonal health, gut health, etc. Functional mushrooms do display unique health effects on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, which could possibly lead to positively impacting one's weight and overall health. They have lots of fiber and key nutrients like selenium and zinc that support insulin function. Functional mushrooms are also adaptogens, meaning they can help the body develop resiliency to stress and may be supportive in times of change like when starting a new exercise or nutrition plan. The two most common mushrooms used for metabolic support are reishi and maitake, however, they all have metabolic-supportive properties.

A study on maitake showed the innate beta-d-glucans and fiber can have an impact on blood sugar regulation but to what extent still needs further research. Maitake has been studied in many animal studies and a few human trials for this purpose. The human studies that stand out the most are as follows, the first used an SX-Fraction (a water-soluble glycoprotein maitake fraction similar to MD-Fraction) in 5 patients; one showed complete blood sugar regulation and the other four showed a 30% reduction in serum glucose measurements in 4 weeks.

This is an isolated research study (different from our extracts but still a great study).

Thanks,

Question 4

What is the equivalent amount of mushroom before extraction? What is the extraction ratio?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

This is a 1:1 hot water meaning 1 lb of dried mushrooms = 1 lb of extract powder.
