Question 1

Where are these mushrooms grown?

Accepted Answer

Hey,

We are glad you asked this question.  Mushrooms utilized as nutritional supplements are rarely cultivated in North America, it’s just too expensive. Since it is not economical to grow and sell pure fruiting body mushrooms supplements in the USA, companies will sell myceliated grain, which composed mostly of grain or rice. Laboratory testing confirms that mycelium produced on grain is low in beta-glucans and high in starch. Myceliated grain is not expensive to produce, but lacks the medicinal compounds that make it an expensive product.

Our mushrooms are grown in China. Fear not, there is no reason to run away from Chinese mushrooms that have been grown, extracted, and analyzed at very high standards. Our mushroom experts/researchers have been working with Chinese mushroom growers for over 20 years. We stand by our Chinese partners 100%. Chinese mushrooms are the standard; nobody has more experience or knows medicinal mushrooms better. In fact, China produces 70% of the world’s mushrooms.

Our extracts undergo rigorous testing. All of our extracts are tested twice for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals and microbial contamination to ensure they met the standards set for these categories. All of the mushrooms are processed in designated GMP facilities and all water used in cleaning and processing is purified through ultra filtration systems. You can rest assured knowing that we have done the work to ensure the mushroom supplements that we provide are safe and beneficial.

Question 2

How do I take this..can I just scoop it in my mouth and wash it down with water or does it have to be activated with heat beverages?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to mix it in with hot beverages (tea, coffee, etc...) reason being is that if you read the package, this has been heat extracted then turned into powder form. So that means the active ingredients are already activated whether you mix it with cold or lukewarm water. Try scooping it in your mouth, to each it's own. It's stupid to do that, it woudn't taste good but oh well, take it anyway u wish,
Point is, no hot water needed

Question 3

do they come in capsules?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for reaching out! Not yet, but we hope to have this option available very soon- stay tuned :) If you are looking for ways to mask the flavor, you could always add it a smoothie or some other foods. We have even made them into energy bars!

Question 4

Are these mushrooms sourced from China?

Hey there! Yes, we grow whole fruiting body organic certified Cordyceps Militaris in Southeast China. We also test for heavy metals, microbial contamination and gluten before packaging in our US based GMP certified facility.
