FAQs

Our mushroom ingredients have been extracted with hot water and/or alcohol. Therefore, hot water and heat under life environment will not affect the quality of our products. 

We recommend take our products daily. Daily supplement usage will support long-term benefits. For further guidance, please consult your healthcare physician. 

We do not have particular directions on the best time of the day to take our products. You can take our products any time during the day.  It is a personal preference because everyone is unique in how they react to each supplement. It can be taken with food. For further guidance, please consult your health care physician. 

Our products can be consumed with or without foods. It is a personal preference because everyone is unique in how they react to each supplement. People might feel better response with food where as others might have better response on an empty stomach. For further guidance, please consult your healthcare physician.

The harvested mushrooms are rigorously examined to ensure the highest levels of purity. Final manufacturing takes place at a cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) certified manufacturer in the U.S., where stringent laboratory tests are again performed to reconfirm purity. Identification and verification are done by outside labs in the U.S. and/or our in-house lab for every production. We release a product by confirming a product meets its specifications.

A single supplement is great for some targeted supports. Taking multiple mushroom supplements may be more synergistic each other than alone. For further guidance, please consult your healthcare physician.

Store in a cool dry place to prevent from moisture and try to avoid any direct sunlight into a product. 

The majority of our mushrooms are grown in a pristine natural environment in the southern part of Zhejiang Province, China, without any pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The mushrooms grow “naturally” or indoors to mirror they grow in wild.  The cultivation methods of our mushrooms are Sawdust substrate, Log wood, Wildcrafted and Tank liquid for only Cordyceps. 

The source of our main active mushroom ingredients are grown in a pristine natural environment in the southern part of Zhejiang Province, China, without any pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The harvested mushrooms are rigorously examined to ensure the highest levels of purity. Raw materials are procured to the United States as an extract powder.

Yes.  All of our products are subject to in-house and 3rd party testing for heavy metals and microbes and meet and exceed industry standards, including Prop 65.  

We do both. This is due to the fact that some fat soluble substances can NOT be extracted with just hot water. So some extracts are hot water, some are ethanol, and some are a series of extractions, depending on the substance or mushrooms. 

We use the fruiting bodies and sclerotium (except for cordyceps: mycelium), rather than mycelium. Mycelium is the vegetative state of the mushroom life cycle. The fungal lifecycle consists of spore, mycelium and mushroom. Mycelium is the stage that produces a mushroom but it is not a mushroom. The constituent profile of mycelium biomass products is significantly different than fruiting body and sclerotium. Findings of studies cannot be used to substantiate the effectiveness of orally administered mycelium biomass products because of a potential lack of bioavailability. Fruiting bodies and sclerotium offer a much more effective, high-quality product than mycelium extracts. 

Our products are dietary supplements. We recommend consulting your healthcare physician for guidance. 

If you are taking medications, we recommend consulting your healthcare physician for guidance. 

Both extracts are derived from Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa). D-Fraction is an active proteoglucan, which shows bioactivity of immune support.* SX-Fraction is an active glycoprotein, which supports healthy blood sugar levels.*

Our LION’S MANE AMYLOBAN® contains a standardized extract which contains the constituents, hericenones and amyloban. Our SUPER LION’S MANE contains these constituents, but at much lesser concentration. So you would have to consume a much larger amount of SUPER LION’S MANE to equal one serving of LION’S MANE AMYLOBAN®.

You should always consult with your healthcare physician before introducing dietary supplements for your children and family members. 

Please remember (1) we don’t recommend an infant to take our product; (2) Basically, we don’t recommend the children under 6 years old to take our products (3) Specially, we strongly recommend the parent to consult a healthcare physician before use when your children are under treatment with medicines. 

Fruiting body extracts often involve hot water extraction. In the process, a mushroom is placed in hot water, which essentially breaks down the chitin in the cell walls. Humans lack the enzyme needed to break down chitin. So doing an extraction is necessary to be able to get the nutrients from the mushroom’s fruiting body.  

We use the method called “double extraction” since mushrooms contain some constituents that are water soluble, called beta-glucans, and some that are alcohol soluble, called triterpenes. A double extraction effectively pulls out these constituents for added benefits. We have SUPER REISHI and SUPER PORIA with double extract.
