Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a flaky edible fungus that grows on dead trees or stumps.
The hats of the mushroom resemble larger oysters, hence its name, which in English is oyster mushroom. The mushroom has been known for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is popularly used and is known from Sung Dynasty poems as 'the mushroom of flower heaven'. Cultivation of the mushroom only began in the middle of the last century. Surprisingly, not in China, but in Europe (Italy and Hungary). Oyster mushrooms are a rich source of B vitamins, essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and then mainly polysaccharides - beta glucans, where pleuran is important, then terpenes with their representative pleurotin.
It is used in Chinese medicine in a number of cases and is known as the mushroom of the flower of heaven. It is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and other substances, including natural statins, which have a beneficial effect on blood fat levels.
From a Chinese medicine perspective, it promotes Wei Qi (defensive energy). It also harmonises the centre, in other words it promotes digestion. In modern times it is used to support the health of the joint system.
We grow our Mushroom on an organic substrate which is a mixture of organic cottonseed hulls, organic wheat bran, cane sugar and natural gypsum.

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:
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.

Zdravím vás všechny v MycoMedice, již nějaký pátek se chystám napsat. Chtěla bych vám poděkovat za českou firmu, která produkuje tak kvalitní produkty a s postupujícím časem produkty přidává, vylepšuje a kvalita neklesá. Jako terapeut s vámi ráda spolupracuji. A výsledky jdou rychle vidět, tedy i pokud klient změní stravu, dýchání, psychosomatiku a jiné. Zmíním třeba Mycoclean - výborný na odhlenění, pročištění lymfy a kůže. Osm perel při vyčerpanosti organismu, třeba po náročnější nemoci. Hlíva se mi osvědčila u potížích kožních, a samozřejmě na imunitu. Reishi - můj miláček se širokospekrálním záběrem pro tělo i psychiku. Celkově jsou houby perfektní, že umí poznat, když je imunita v deficitu, že mají přidat, a když má imunita reakce přehnané tj.alergie, že na látku bílkovinné povahy reaguje nepřiměřeně, tak jak ji umí korigovat a stáhnout - imunomodulovat, což je výborná schopnost i pro autoimunitní onemocnění. Takto bych mohla pochválit každý preparát, protože každý umí, když se vhodně nasadí. Děkuji. Mrázková Dagmar
Naprostá spokojenost
Houbičky používám dlouhodobě a pomáhají mi, Snad i omlazují organizmus a uklidňují.
Nasadila jsem si Hlívu společně sBetaGlukan BIOcell. Dávkování jsem nastavila intuitivně Hlívu 3x denně, BetaGlukan 2x denně. Řešila jsem vyšší děložní sliznici. Po cca 6 týdnech užívání se stav normalizoval. Nemohu ale s jistotou říct, že za zharmonizování můžou pouze nasazené medikamenty. V užívání pokračuji ve stejných dávkách. Přikoupila jsem ještě Reishi, kterou jsem zatím nenasadila.
