Mushrooms For Life

Functional mushrooms are a group of mushroom species that have been used in traditional medicine for centuries and are now widely researched for their health supporting properties.

Unlike culinary mushrooms, functional mushrooms are valued for their bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans, polysaccharides, triterpenes and hericenones, which support areas such as immunity, cognitive health, stress resilience, energy and healthy ageing.

The fruiting body is the visible part of the mushroom, while the mycelium is the root like network beneath. Both contain beneficial compounds, but in different concentrations.

Mushrooms For Life uses a combination of full spectrum biomass alongside pure fruiting body extract for a superior level of bioavailable beta-glucans.

Dual extraction uses both water and alcohol to release the full range of active compounds in functional mushrooms.

Water extraction releases water soluble polysaccharides such as beta-glucans, while alcohol extraction releases fat soluble compounds such as triterpenes and hericenones.

A dual extracted supplement provides a more complete and bioavailable product compared with single extraction methods.
