About Shiitake

Shiitake or in Latin Lentinula edodes is called the "queen among mushrooms" or "elixir of life". It is very rich in essential amino acids, minerals, group B vitamins, provitamin D2 and many other bioactive substances.

The vital mushroom Shiitake supports the human center according to traditional Chinese medicine. We could say digestion. Our center is controlled by the Pi (Spleen) system, which is responsible for the generation of Qi and blood energy. Qi and blood are the basis of a person's vitality and form the material basis of his defensiveness. Shiitake also has a tropism to Fei (Lungs). It is therefore obvious that Shiitake can prepare our organism for a clash with external pathogenic energy.

MycoMedica Shiitake is grown on a substrate consisting of a mixture of sawdust, organic wheat bran, cane sugar and natural gypsum.

Quality testing

Just like you, we want to be absolutely sure that our mushrooms are 100% effective and safe. That's why we subject them to the most stringent tests on the market, not only for harmful substances, but also for effective ones such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, terpenes, etc.

Mushrooms like to take in all sorts of substances from the environment in which they grow. In order to ensure that nothing unwanted gets into ours, we actually test them all the time: from harvesting to production to the finished product. You could say we are obsessed with testing.

We test MycoMedica mushrooms in laboratories in the USA, Ireland, Germany, as well as at the University of Science and Technology in Prague. We don't do random tests, but honestly test all mushroom raw material at all stages of the process. Top-notch facilities look for more than 350 harmful substances in mushrooms for us. For example:

  • Pesticides - we ensure that our mushrooms are not contaminated with any banned or dangerous chemicals used in agriculture
  • Heavy metals - we analyse for heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic to ensure that levels remain well below safety limits
  • radioactivity - we carefully monitor levels of radioactive isotopes to ensure that our products are completely safe for long-term consumption
  • polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic, can affect fetal development and have been linked to cardiovascular disease
  • microbial contaminants - we monitor for harmful micro-organisms including bacteria, moulds and yeasts to ensure the highest possible hygiene levels in our products

The tests we carry out are far more demanding than those required by legislation. We can attach a report to each individual capsule and tell you exactly where it came from.

Our mushrooms have been achieving excellent results in tests for 15 years.

 

We also test the active ingredients

Testing the polysaccharide content of our vital mushrooms is standard procedure for us to ensure the highest quality products. We guarantee a high content of polysaccharides, the most effective component of which is betaglucans, which are known for their benefits to the immune system. This guarantees that our mushrooms are not only pure, but also maximally effective.

This system enables us to effectively identify and manage the risks associated with food production, thus ensuring maximum safety and satisfaction of our customers.

Mám dobrou zkušenost s produktem MycoCholest, který jsem koupil v předchozím nákupu. Moje klientka měla cholesterol 7,5 a po měsíčním používání tohoto produktu byl naměřen cholesterol téměř v normě - 5,2. Přípravek Auricularia doporučený paní Mudr. Gluvňovou působí velmi dobře na žíly - toto jsem zaznamenal u jiné klientky. Spokojenost.

We will help you find your way around TCM

Advice only works on MycoMedica and YaoMedica products

The world of Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the body very differently than our Western medicine. Therefore, it can sometimes be difficult for you to find your way around and choose the right product - the right vital mushroom or herbal blend.

That's why we, Misha and Lenka - traditional Chinese medicine therapists - are here to recommend the best for you in our online consultation. We have been dealing with vital mushrooms and herbs for many years, using them daily in our own practices, so we know exactly how they work and when they help.
