Fast fulfilment: 2-day pickup from 4 US warehouses.

Low minimums: Commence with 25kg orders.

Clean label: Solvent-free extraction, Organic/Kosher/Halal certification.

Our NSF GMP and FSSC22000-compliant extraction facility began processing fruiting bodies in 2018.

Quality Control Process

Every batch undergoes 12-point testing before release:

Identity Verification

· HPTLC fingerprinting confirmsLentinula edodesspecies

· Microscopic analysis validates fruiting body (not mycelium)

Bioactive Assay

· Beta-Glucan: Megazyme enzymatic method

· Polysaccharide profile: UV-spectrophotometry

Contaminant Screening

Microbiology

· Total Plate Count: <10,000 CFU/g

· Yeast/Mold: <1,000 CFU/g

· E. coli: Negative

· Salmonella: Negative/25g

All testing performed by ISO 17025 accredited labs. COA provided with each shipment.

FAQ

Q: What distinguishes your extract from whole mushroom powder?

A: The entire powder has ~2-5% Beta-Glucans. The hot water extraction concentrates actives by 10-50%. This implies lower dosages and clearer labels.

Q: How do I verify Beta-Glucan content?

A: We use Megazyme to measure only real 1,3/1,6-glucans. Starches can inflate generic polysaccharide assays. Request Megazyme COA data always.

Q: Do you provide bespoke Beta-Glucan percentages?

A: Yes. Extraction settings are adjusted to hit targets. Custom specifications take 15-20 days. Talk to us about formulation.

Q: What documentation comes with each order?

A: Every shipment includes:

· Certificate of Analysis (full test results)

· Allergen statement

· BSE/TSE statement

· Kosher/Halal certificates (if applicable)

· Organic certificate (if applicable)

Q: How do I keep powder?

A: Store in sealed containers that are cold and dry (<25°C, <60% RH). Avoid direct sunlight. Extract stays potent for 24 months if kept properly.

Q: Do you provide private or white label services?

A: We provide private labelling to approved partners with frequent orders. Minimums apply. Talk to us about your needs.
