Extraction and Fruiting Body Excellence
For true medicinal mushrooms, the quality and efficacy of supplements are profoundly influenced by two critical factors:
- The extraction process
- The use of the mushroom's fruiting body.
At Dr. Noel's Mushroom Powder, we are committed to these principles, ensuring that our products deliver maximum potency and health benefits.
The Importance of Extraction in Medicinal Mushrooms
Mushrooms are rich in bioactive compounds such as beta-glucans, triterpenes, and polysaccharides, which are known for their immune-boosting and health-enhancing properties. However, these compounds are encased within chitin, a fibrous material that is indigestible to humans. Without proper extraction, these beneficial compounds remain inaccessible, rendering the mushroom's potential benefits largely untapped.
Extraction is the process that breaks down chitin, releasing the active compounds and making them bioavailable. This process is essential for:
-
Maximising Potency
Proper extraction concentrates the beneficial compounds, enhancing the supplement's effectiveness. -
Ensuring Bioavailability
By breaking down chitin, extraction ensures that the body can absorb and utilize the mushroom's active ingredients. -
Eliminating Impurities
Extraction processes can help remove unwanted substances, resulting in a purer product.
Dr. Noel's Commitment to High-Potency Extraction
At Dr. Noel's, we employ an 8:1 dual-extraction method for our Lion's Mane powder. This dual-extraction process utilizes both hot water and alcohol to capture the full spectrum of beneficial compounds, including beta-glucans, hericenones, and erinacines. This meticulous approach ensures that our products are not only potent but also retain the integrity of the mushroom's therapeutic properties.
The Superiority of the Fruiting Body
The mushroom's life cycle comprises two main stages: the mycelium and the fruiting body. The fruiting body is the visible part of the mushroom, traditionally harvested for medicinal purposes due to its rich concentration of active compounds. In contrast, the mycelium is the root-like structure that grows underground and contains lower levels of these beneficial substances.
Many manufacturers use mycelium-based products, often grown on grain substrates, which can lead to supplements with higher starch content and reduced potency. At Dr. Noel's, we use only 100% fruiting bodies in our products, ensuring:
-
Higher Concentration of Active Compounds
Fruiting bodies are richer in beta-glucans and other essential nutrients. -
Purity
By avoiding grain-based mycelium, we eliminate unnecessary fillers, providing a cleaner product. -
Tradition and Efficacy
Utilizing the fruiting body aligns with traditional practices and modern research supporting its superior medicinal properties.
Transparency and Quality Assurance
We believe in full transparency regarding our sourcing and manufacturing processes. Our mushrooms are cultivated under stringent conditions, and our extraction methods are designed to preserve the full array of beneficial compounds. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure purity, potency, and safety, providing our customers with products they can trust. We have official organic certifications from around the world/
