beta 1,3/1,6 D glucans
The era of betaglucans is coming
Guaranteed beta 1,3/1,6 glucan content of at least 30%
Are you saying to yourself that MycoMedica mushrooms couldn't be better quality and more effective? They can.
Thanks to our innovative method of combined extraction, we can extract even more active ingredients from vital mushrooms, while maintaining their optimal ratio. This allows us to dramatically increase the proportion of beta-glucans in the resulting extract. And all this in new organic quality.
Poria (poria coconut, Poria cocos) is one of the most commonly used mushrooms in traditional Chinese medicine. Due to its ability to remove Shi(moisture) from the body while strengthening the Qi energy of the Spleen, it is added to most Traditional Chinese Medicine phytotherapy recipes.
Our new MycoMedica PRO mushroom extracts contain even more beta-glucans - the most effective substances supporting our body's defences.
You can read more about betaglucans, for example in this article.
Thanks to the unique combined extraction that MycoMedica has developed, we can release even more betaglucans from mushrooms. At the same time, the optimal ratio of the other active ingredients is maintained, making our extracts as close as possible to the original mushroom as nature created it.
And all this in certified organic quality, without any additives. You are taking only pure, high quality and effective mushroom.

Poria coconut (poria coconut, Poria cocos) is a wood-borne saprophytic fungus that grows primarily on injured trees, fallen logs and stumps.
The Poria coconut prefers subtropical climates with higher humidity, which allows it to grow in areas of East and Southeast Asia, especially in China, Vietnam and Thailand.
This mushroom has been known in China for over 2000 years, where it is used in traditional Chinese medicine.
It is also mentioned in the most famous Chinese herbarium, the Sheng Nong.
Poria coconut is used alone or in combination with other herbs and mushrooms for its various medicinal benefits. These effects include improving blood production, treating eye diseases, strengthening the Spleen and Kidneys, and calming the nerves.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Poria is considered one of the most important medicinal mushrooms. It is especially valued for its ability to remove dampness (Shi) from the body while strengthening Spleen Qi energy (Pi Qi). Pi Qi is the system responsible for the production of Qi and blood, the foundations of our body's vitality. It is not enough to care only about the quality of the food we ingest, but also about the quality and strength of the Spleen, which plays a key role in the process of digestion and energy metabolism.
Our Poria grows in optimal and ecologically clean conditions, without the use of pesticides and other harmful substances.

Just like you, we want to be absolutely sure that our sponges 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.
PRO range - we also test the active ingredients
Do you think it is enough to test mushrooms for harmful substances? Not enough. You also need to test whether they have enough active ingredients to actually work. In addition to testing for harmful substances, MycoMedica also tests its mushrooms for beneficial substances.
Our new PRO line is carefully tested and standardized not only for polysaccharides but also for beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucan content to ensure its high quality and efficacy. Betaglucans are part of polysaccharides and are the most important active substances in mushrooms, responsible for their effect on our immune system. Each product goes through a thorough analysis process where we use state-of-the-art methods to accurately measure the betaglucan content. Betaglucans are the most effective substances that directly regulate our immune system. We are the only company in Europe that does testing on this scale. Testing for beta-glucans is complex and costly. As a prestigious manufacturer, MycoMedica naturally does such tests.
What else do we regularly test for besides betaglucans and polysaccharides?
