Mushrooms for Energy and Balance

Treasured for their therapeutic value within many ancient healing systems, functional mushrooms are quickly gaining popularity in North America for their ability to support immunity, stress resilience, energy, and more.

The supplement market has become flushed with medicinal mushroom products. With so many choices available, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

Before investing in a mushroom product, it’s important to know what to look for to ensure optimal health support. To determine the quality of a mushroom supplement, a few key factors can help guide the decision:

Tip #1: Look for Supplements Crafted with Fruiting Body Mushrooms

For thousands of years, people have consumed fruiting body mushrooms to support longevity and vitality. Today, a significant body of modern scientific research further validates the therapeutic potential of fruiting body mushrooms. Harmonic Arts mushrooms are cultivated by organic farmers who closely replicate the natural environment. This growing method ensures that the mushroom can produce a wide variety of active compounds needed to nourish human health.

Tip #2: Research the Supplement’s Extraction Method

Extraction unlocks all the healing properties within the mushroom. This vital step breaks down indigestible fibre and chitin within the cell walls, creating a final product that is bioavailable. Proper extraction will yield concentrated levels of fungal polysaccharides, triterpenes, and beta-glucans that are easy for your body to absorb. There are two main types of extraction:

Hot water extraction releases the water-soluble polysaccharides within the mushrooms, including beta-glucans. This involves heating the mushrooms in large vats of hot water and simmering them for a long period of time.

For mushrooms that are denser and woodier in texture, like reishi, an additional alcohol extraction is necessary to free up beneficial triterpenes. This is accomplished by saturating the mushrooms in alcohol for several weeks and then pressing the liquid afterwards.

Tip #3: Explore Concentration and Dosing

The next step is to check the extraction ratio, or concentration of the product. This will give a great idea of the amount of mushroom medicine you receive per serving. For example, Harmonic Arts Reishi Mushroom Capsules have an extraction ratio of 12:1. This means that you get the equivalent of 4500 mg of fruiting body reishi within each dose (375 mg or 2 capsules).

Tip #4: Prioritize Organically Sourced Mushrooms

Organic certification ensures your mushroom supplement is free of any pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals that could pose harm to your health or the health of our planet. Due to the intentional cultivation process, organically grown mushrooms are also more likely to contain a broader spectrum of polysaccharides and beta-glucans that benefit human health.
