What Is The Fruiting Body? Is It Different From Mycelium?
Fruiting Body:
What you would visually recognize as a mushroom. It’s fleshy and contains spores.
Usually grows above ground or directly on the surface of its host – like a tree or old log.
Made up of a stem, cap, and gills. It’s what you might eat in a culinary dish.
Mycelium:
The main body and feeding membrane of a mushroom.
It grows underground or within the host plant.
Think of it like the ‘roots’ of the mushroom.
Does Antioxi Use The Fruiting Body Or Mycelium?
The product is a 100% fruiting body extract.
This gives you a higher concentration of the mushroom’s healthy components. So you can get more bang for your buck. And improve your wellbeing.
If you’re looking for nutritional goodness from our Turkey Tail – then the fruiting body is where the magic is.
I’m Confused -- What’s The Difference Between The Raw Mushroom, The Powder And The Powder Extract?
Here’s a simplified summary of each:
Raw mushroom = the whole mushroom.
Mushroom powder = dried mushrooms -- ground into powder. Goes into giant pressure cookers - that pre-digest the cell walls.
Mushroom powder extract = dried mushrooms -- ground into powder. The powder is cooked with water/alcohol, so that the medicinal compounds can be extracted. A spray dryer removes the liquid - leaving you with a fully-active powder.
Antioxi’s mushrooms products are powder extracts. Here’s why that’s beneficial to you.
The long-term cooking process allows for…
1. Better control over the mushroom’s medicinal properties that remain in the final product. So your quick intake can go a long way. And improve your health.
2. Beta D Glucans can be up to 15 times more concentrated in powder extracts - compared to powders.
So you can benefit from more natural immune-boosters.
3. Easier access for your body to the medicinal goodness. And easier absorption too.
How Are The Nutrients Extracted From Mushrooms?
Simply put -- during the extraction process, the mushroom’s nutrients are dissolved as much as possible.
This can be done with...
-Hot Water
-Alcohol
-Both (Double Extraction)
Antioxi’s mushrooms have a water-based extraction. This helps dissolve the most Beta-Glucans – which is the ingredient that helps balance your immune system.
Where Are The Mushrooms Sourced From?
We’re open about our mushrooms being sourced from China. In fact, in China mushroom usage has a rich history. Going on a 1000 years!
You see - in Europe, it wouldn’t be doable (re: climate, economics, resources) to grow *genuine* mushrooms for supplements.
And remember: all products have been tested for elements such as heavy metals. No toxins here.
If you ask, we’re happy to send the lab reports.
Is It Safe To Consume This During Pregnancy?
If you’re pregnant – or trying to conceive – we recommend consulting your doctor before using any of our products. During Pregnancy coffee should also be kept to a minimum.
