Mushroom Extracts from Pure Mushrooms

The organic mushroom supplements of Pure Mushrooms are slightly different from other mushroom capsules. You can think of them as a tincture in a capsule. This is because the production process is designed to get the most out of the mushroom. Only the best mushrooms are selected by hand for the manufacture of these capsules.

After being organically cultivated, the mushrooms are immediately dried naturally. Normally, the dried mushrooms are then powdered and encapsulated, but not at Pure Mushrooms. The farmers know that the real power of the mushrooms only comes out when the rock-hard chitin in mushrooms is broken down. Chitin is the hardest substance produced by living things. The skeleton of an insect is made of chitin, but also the skin of mushroom spores. We cannot digest this stuff without it. Therefore, it must first be softened.

The dried powder of this mushroom is simmered in hot water for 5 to 7 hours to achieve this. The chitin and hard proteins then break down, releasing the valuable polysaccharides. The extract is then dried and extensively tested after being transported to Europe.

The Highest Quality

Pure Mushrooms tests for colour, taste and smell of the extracts. But that is not all. You don't just get an organic certificate. The materials and the soil on which the mushrooms are grown are certified. First of all, various characteristics of the mushrooms are checked. Think, for example, of how resilient the mushrooms are. There is also a strict check for foreign components, such as plastic, stones or metals. Then the quality of the mushroom extracts is measured. For each mushroom, a profile is drawn up to which the extract must comply. Chromatography is used to measure whether the extract indeed meets this profile.

Origin and Effects of the Cordyceps Mushroom

Cordyceps is a weird fungus from Asia which in nature is propagated by using insects as hosts. But don’t worry, no insects are used to cultivate this Cordyceps supplement! In Asia, Cordyceps was traditionally used during strenuous activities and when working at great height.

As a medicinal mushroom for sports, Cordyceps has been completely rediscovered. Sportsmen and athletes in the know swear by this healthy mushroom as it stimulates energy and possibly even improves oxygen intake. That makes Cordyceps extremely popular in sporting circles. Cordyceps can also be taken to stimulate the libido.
