Why is mushroom powder from the whole mushroom preferable to extracts?
According to a conservative estimate, there are more than 1,000 secondary plant compounds in mushrooms. However, science does not yet know 50 of them more precisely. It is equally unclear in what way the various ingredients complement or weaken each other.
Errors due to an isolated approach
As science only ever looks at the effect of individual ingredients, the erroneous belief arose that extracts or extracts were preferable to mushroom powder made from the whole mushroom. This has led to incomprehensible statements that such extracts are 20 times more effective than mushroom powder from the whole mushroom. It would only be correct that some substances can be present in a correspondingly higher concentration. In addition, science is not even clear on whether a hot water extract, a cold water extract or an alcoholic extract is the correct extract variant.

Natural balance and detoxification of the body only with mushroom powder from the whole mushroom
Regardless of such details, it should be noted that of the ingredients contained in the mushroom powder from the whole mushroom, only some ingredients are contained in the extract, depending on the extract variant chosen. All other ingredients are missing in the extracts.
Furthermore, unlike mushroom powder from the whole mushroom, extracts can no longer absorb toxins and excrete them naturally. Another important point that speaks against the extracts is that extracts are usually not made from the fruiting body, but only from the mycelium. The mycelium, however, lacks the ingredients from the lamellae of the fruiting body, i.e. from the generative components of the mushroom. These are, however, of the utmost importance in the case of the Reishi mushroom, for example, as the triterpenes are only found in the lamellar parts. The extracts lack these substances completely. In summary, it can be said that mushroom powder from the whole mushroom is far superior to extracts.

The right timing is crucial for success
Mushroom powder from the whole mushroom Based on our holistic approach, we make a point of using all the components of the mushroom. This ensures that no important ingredients are lost. Thus, the complex interaction of the individual components of the mushroom is not affected by human intervention. Only the use of the whole mushroom ensures that thousands of ingredients are preserved as a compound and thus the intelligence of nature is fully utilised for our well-being.
Correct drying of fresh mushrooms
Also important are the drying method and the time of drying, i.e. the time difference between harvesting and drying. Therefore, we only use the mushroom powder from the mushrooms that have been produced exclusively for use in capsules. There are farms that only dry their goods that cannot be sold on the fresh market before they would rot and then process them into powder. Of course, their mushroom powder no longer has the ingredients as those from freshly harvested and immediately processed mushrooms. The drying temperature is also important and must not exceed 35°C. So if you use mushrooms, check how they were produced or where they come from. Remember, it's all the ingredients that matter, not just individual ones. And they should not have been lost through too long storage after harvesting!
