Betaglucany - MycoMedica - vital mushrooms

Have you heard about the betaglucans that they are great for immunity? Or do you even take them yourself? Then we would like to know which betaglucans you have purchased?

There are several types, and the most common forms you may encounter are yeast betaglucans and medicinal mushroom betaglucans. While at first glance it might seem like it doesn't matter which one you choose (they're called exactly the same, right?), there's actually a major difference between the two.

Generally speaking - betaglucans are complex sugars. The beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucans have the most potency. Both types of betaglucans form what is called a triple helix. But this is where their similarity ends. Studies show that mushroom betaglucans tend to be more stable and biologically active, leading to higher overall potency.

Which betaglucans are stronger and better at supporting immunity?

The betaglucans are most commonly derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Maybe that's what you have in your house. But science advises you to start looking more into the mushroom betaglucans. According to the latest research, it has been found that the structure of the mushroom betaglucans is different, and because of this, they can act more efficiently and strongly in our bodies than those from yeast.

This means, if you buy a medicinal mushroom Reishi or Cordyceps, you will treat your body to a much more potent form of the betaglucans.

If you want the best, make sure your medicinal mushrooms are guaranteed to contain the betaglucans.

Going out into the woods for porcini mushrooms is also a good idea, but that's not the way to go. The most potent betaglucans can be found in extracts of medicinal mushrooms, such as Reishi, Cordyceps, Coriolus, Hericium, Maitake, Shiitake, Oyster mushroom or Chaga, and they must be in the form of extract, which is maximally absorbable by the body.

Are you ready to make a change?

If you've been using yeast betaglucans for a while, believe that now is the right time to switch to mushroom ones and treat your body to the best.

The betaglucans from yeast

They are cheap and readily available - but their spectrum of effects is very limited, 99% of them are used only to support immunity.

The betaglucans of medicinal mushrooms

They can do so much more - they link with other beneficial substances such as polysaccharides, triterpenes or phenols, and affect many other things in the body besides immunity.

Do you get the betaglucans you pay for?

Switching from the yeast betaglucans to the mushroom betaglucans is a step in the right direction, but there is one more thing you should watch out for. Some manufacturers add fillers (substances with no effect) to medicinal mushrooms, so the actual betaglucans content may be much lower than the attractive advertising promises. This is a common practice of many manufacturers, which unfortunately is usually not detected by the laboratory.

If you want the best, make sure the medicinal mushrooms are guaranteed to contain the betaglucans. Not polysaccharides. The betaglucans!

We recommend at least 30-40% betaglucans in the mushroom extract.

MycoMedica is currently the only manufacturer in Europe that guarantees such a high proportion of the betaglucans in its products.

MycoMedica offers three forms of betaglucans:

Betaglucan BIOcell - contains the betaglucans yeast, the weakest variant

Classic range of vital mushrooms - is standardized to polysaccharides, contains about 10-15% betaglucans

PRO fungal line - contains at least 30% of the strongest medicinal betaglucans

PRO = made for professionals

The last mentioned PRO range is something that will completely change the way you look at the betaglucans. The PRO range of medicinal mushrooms is designed for the general consumer, but also for professional use - i.e. for doctors and therapists.

PRO products are made using a combined extraction method that we have developed together with a scientific team. Combined extraction can dramatically increase the betaglucans in the final extract. In addition, each batch is carefully tested and we can guarantee the amount of the betaglucans.

It is up to you which betaglucans you prefer!
