"Our mushroom raw material is produced from pure fruiting bodies, i.e. it contains no extra substances, no components of the substrate on which it grew."

There are big differences in what parts of the mushroom (fruiting body and/or mycelium) enter the raw material process. Many suppliers process the entire mushroom culture, including the growing material. Not only the mushroom itself, but also sawdust, rice, millet, cereal flour, etc. end up in the final product. This method of production allows producers to produce large quantities of 'mushroom' product at very low cost. They then offer mushroom products at low prices, but in doing so they cheat the end consumer. Thinking that they are buying a quality mushroom product, they invest unnecessarily in a mixture of mushroom and substrate. He cannot then expect what he should expect from the mushroom.

Tricks of dishonest mushroom raw material producers:

1. The scientific studies and analyses available to us show that the bioactive information declared on product packaging sometimes gives a higher figure than is actually the case. MycoMedica guarantees that the numbers declared on the label or on the website always correspond to reality.

2. The total polysaccharide content of the product is not identical to the pure fungal polysaccharide content. A significant proportion is made up of components of the substrate on which the mushroom was grown. MycoMedica produces its products from fruiting bodies only. There is thus no risk of contamination of the substrate. We produce raw material of maximum purity.

3. They often add non-fungal polysaccharides to their products. For example, potato starch. This misleads the consumer, as starch polysaccharides do not have the same effect on the human body as fungal polysaccharides. MycoMedica does not use these tricks and its products contain only pure fungal polysaccharides.
