Risks of buying vitalch mushrooms

Unfortunately, there are a lot of risks associated with the specific declaration of individual active ingredients in today's mushroom market that the average consumer has no chance of detecting.

Our German colleagues also regularly test competing products and are sometimes surprised at what some products contain.

A very popular trick of some raw material processors is to replace some of the active ingredients from vitalch mushrooms with alternative ingredients from cheaper sources.

Triterpenes from sage?

We sometimes encounter that, for example, triterpenes are replaced by sage triterpenes, which are cheaper and easier to process. But again without much effect on the organism.

And starch or triterpenes from sage are certainly not substances that we want to find in good quality mushrooms. Mainly, if we take such a product, the effects of the individual mushrooms will shift and e.g. Reishi will no longer have the effects of Reishi.

Follow MycoPrint

But back to the authenticity and origin of the active ingredients. In order to guarantee the authenticity (genuineness) of the individual mushroom ingredients, all raw materials are also subjected to the SEC analytical identity test - the so-called MycoPrint (our "mushroom fingerprint").

In this way, we and our customers can be sure that the declared mushroom species has actually been used for a given extraction and that the individual active ingredients have been created through a strictly controlled extraction process and have not been artificially added to the extract just to meet the parameters we declare.

Not all suppliers are able to control or correctly declare the individual active ingredients that a mushroom extract contains and if you are unsure about your product choice, ask your retailer if they also test the authenticity of the mushroom extract.
