St Francis Medicinal Mushrooms:

1. Are made from the mushroom itself, also referred to as the fruiting body, on which the vast majority of research is based. They are not made from mycelium (a root-like structure), which indeed is not mushroom, nor has it been properly researched. This also means that there is no supplementation of grain as a major ingredient.
2. Are third-party tested for beta glucans – the proven immune supportive active component. Based on the science, there is no dispute that these are essential – and we test to ensure sufficient levels and communicate this clearly.
3. Provide maximum bioavailability. They are not dried mushrooms ground up, a form that makes it challenging for the body to access the key medicinal components, no matter how small they are ground/micronized. They are mushrooms that are put through an extraction process multiple times in order to provide the critical components in a form that maximizes the body’s ability to absorb them.

For Maitake, the extraction process takes 1500 mg of dried mushroom down to 150mg of high potency extract (10:1 extract). This provides an additional benefit of providing you a therapeutic dose in only 2 capsules per day. It is therefore very important to check how many days’ supply are in a bottle to determine the price per day, to be able to properly compare. Ours are 1 bottle = 30 days/1 month’s supply.
