About Agarikon

Agaricon is a mushroom that has been used in Europe since ancient times. It is a disease-causing woody fungus that grows in the northern hemisphere, mainly in the higher regions of Europe (e.g. the Alps, the Carpathians), Russia, Canada, Asia, etc. It mainly attacks larch trees and produces perennial fruiting bodies that can be more than 60 cm long. The shape resembles a spear or a column. The mushroom is not poisonous, but due to its consistency and taste, which is rather bitter, it is not used in cooking. The English name derives from its bitter taste, as people thought it contained quinine. Vervain can be dried and crushed into powder, used in decoctions and teas, etc. It has been used for thousands of years, and has also been found in a 5000 year old mummy that was preserved in ice. Because of its bitterness, medicinal vervain has been used as a substitute for hops in the production of beer in Slovenia.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Agaricon is used for its taste to clear Re (heat) and Shi Re (damp heat). As a result, it can detoxify and purify the body. Like other mushrooms, it supports the Wei Qi (defensive energy) of our body. It can also promote healthy digestion due to its tropism towards the center.

Our mushrooms are grown in optimal natural conditions, without the use of pesticides and other harmful substances.

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.
