Supplement based on a pure, high strength extract (8:1) of the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum, very valued for its activity on the immune system, its anti-tumour action and its capacity to improve nervous balance and increase longevity. It supplies a great variety of bioactive compounds, but those mainly responsible for its therapeutic properties are
polysaccharides, specifically beta-glucans, triterpenes and ergosterols. It also provides minerals (zinc, copper, iodine and iron, among others), amino acids and adenosine analogues.
The method of polysaccharide extraction is a critical point that determines the concentration and efficacy of the product. Our extract is obtained through a validated extraction process in hot water which concentrates, guarantees and preserves the active compounds, leading to a higher final concentration of polysaccharides. Mycelium contains polysaccharides that are bound to the cell walls of chitin, which is indigestible in the gastrointestinal tract. Chitin must be dissolved in hot water in order to release the polysaccharides and guarantee a high polysaccharide content as well as greater bioavailability. The extract is standardized to 40% polysaccharide content.
The mushrooms used for our formulation have been cultivated in greenhouses under climate controlled conditions and are free of heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides in order to guarantee the purity and strength of the extract.
