The Science Behind Mush

How Functional Mushrooms Work
Mushrooms are more than just food—they are bioactive powerhouses. Packed with compounds like beta-glucans, triterpenes, and antioxidants, they interact with the body's systems to promote balance, resilience, and overall well-being.
Beta-Glucans – These naturally occurring polysaccharides help modulate the immune system, supporting a balanced and adaptive response to stressors.
Triterpenes – Found in certain mushrooms, these compounds have adaptogenic properties that help regulate stress, support mood, and promote relaxation.
Antioxidants – Mushrooms are rich in powerful antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress, reducing cellular damage and promoting longevity.

Why Liquid Extracts?
Not all mushroom supplements are created equal. Many powders and capsules leave behind vital compounds that the body struggles to absorb. That’s why we use a dual-extraction process—combining hot water and alcohol extraction—to unlock the full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
Hot Water Extraction isolates water-soluble compounds like beta-glucans, which support immune function and overall health.
Alcohol Extraction pulls out fat-soluble compounds like triterpenes, known for their adaptogenic and stress-regulating effects.
This process ensures that every drop of Mush extract delivers maximum bioavailability, meaning your body can absorb and utilize these compounds efficiently.
We then use our special process to remove all the alcohol, leaving highly bioavailable liquid mushroom extract. We do not use vegetable glycerin, instead we use Rowan Berry which is also known for its Vitamin C content.
