How do medicinal mushrooms support our bodies?
Medicinal mushrooms have many health benefits because of their key active components: beta-glucans, triterpenoids, ergosterol, and statins. Thanks to these active compounds, medicinal mushrooms have adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory properties and help with immune modulation. Let’s look at some of the ways they support the body:

Mushroom Anatomy 101
Sourcing matters
The way medicinal mushrooms are sourced affects potency, the amount of key nutrients, and more. Supplements that use both the fruiting body extract and the mycelia provides the full spectrum of medicinal compounds for a full spectrum of benefits.
Fruiting body
The reproductive part of the fungus–usually the stalk and cap.
This part of the mushroom can be used to create potent extracts using hot water and/or alcohol.
Mycelium
Consists of a mass of branching like the root system or web.
To get all the nutrients, the mycelium is grown, dried and then milled into a fine powder.
A full spectrum of benefits.
In combining the fruiting body extract and the mycelia, you get a highly potent dose of powerhouse antioxidants, filled with all the beneficial compounds to support your health goals.
