About Maitake

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) translated as dancing mushroom - this name comes from the reactions of the searchers who danced with joy when they found this amazing and highly valued mushroom. Maitake is a polyporales parasitic mushroom with a fruiting body that takes the form of a large cluster. It is made up of a leg with up to several hundred fused hats.

Maitake contains many biologically active substances including betaglucans, glycoproteins, grifolic acid, amino acids etc.

From the point of view of Chinese medicine, Maitake supports the center, strengthens the Pi (Spleen) and Wei (Stomach) and thus can purify the organism and harmonize metabolism.

Sometimes it is also called “preventive mushroom for old age”.

We grow our Maitake on a substrate that is a mixture of sawdust, organic wheat bran, fresh soil, 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.

 

MycoMedica's strict manufacturing practices

In our company, we place great emphasis on the quality and safety of our products. Therefore, we strictly adhere to HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standards in all our production processes. This system enables us to effectively identify and manage the risks associated with food production, thus ensuring maximum safety and satisfaction of our customers.

Proof of our commitment to high quality standards is the Good Manufacturing Practice Certificate we have received from the State Agricultural and Food Inspection Authority.

Nebudu rozepisovat každý produkt zvlášť, nakupuji asi rok a 3/4...každý z produktů je malým zázrakem, protože opravdu LÉČÍ. Zbavila jsem se několika zdravotních problémů. Velice kladně hodnotím tiskoviny, které k zásilkám přikládáte. Jsou srozumitelné, rozepsáno použití a na jaký neduh se hodí. Takto zpracovaný tiskový materiál nemá žádná jiná firma. Budu u vás nakupovat pořád. Jedy na předpis mě už neberou.
