Tremella Mushroom Extract – Organic Tremella Fuciformis Mushroom Nutrient Extract Powder with >35% beta glucans

Tremella mushroom is esteemed for its unique benefits, particularly in enhancing skin health and hydration. Known for its rich polysaccharide content, Tremella helps improve skin moisture retention and elasticity. It is also recognized for its ability to support the immune system, thanks to its nutritional profile that includes a range of vitamins and minerals. Tremella's potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties contribute to its overall health benefits, aiding in reducing inflammation and protecting against oxidative stress. This mushroom is often used in culinary dishes like soups and desserts or added to health supplements, making it an accessible choice for those looking to improve their health and skin appearance.

The daily serving / dose for this extract is 1000mg, or about 1/2 teaspoon per day. Because the density and weight of each extract can vary, it is best to measure out 1000mg (1 gram) on a kitchen scale to be precise, but a little more or less is not a concern.
This extract can be easily added to a cup of coffee or tea, a smoothie or shake, or into soups or other foods.
While there is no "best time" to take it, we find that mornings are best because of the energy boost that is often associated with it.

Here is some more detailed information to help you.

This product should be kept in a cool dry place for best storage results. When stored properly in an airtight container, the shelf life is at least 2 years and usually much longer. Many people add it to their emergency stores for it's wonderful nutritional value, medicinal benefits and long shelf life.

There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.

The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.

However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.

We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.

We use a very unique and effective dual or triple extraction process that includes enzymatic extraction, hot water extraction and even solvent extraction for certain mushrooms and/or desired compounds. This ensures that all of the beneficial nutrients are extracted from the mushroom fruiting body. It also breaks down the chitin.

Chitin is like the tough armor that mushrooms wear, similar to how insects have their exoskeletons. This armor protects the mushroom's cells, but it's tough for our bodies to break down and use as food.

For us to get the nutrients from mushrooms, we need to break down this armor into smaller, digestible parts. Enzymes called chitinases do this job. They break down the chitin into smaller pieces that our bodies can absorb and use for energy.

So, without breaking down chitin, we can't get the nutrients from mushrooms.

Tremella (Tremella fuciformis) is known for its gelatinous, translucent appearance and is often referred to as "snow fungus" due to its white color and delicate texture. This mushroom is celebrated in traditional Chinese medicine for its beauty and hydration benefits, making it popular in skin care routines. Tremella is believed to enhance skin moisture due to its high polysaccharide content, which attracts and retains water. Additionally, it is used to boost immune health and has potential anti-inflammatory properties. People also value Tremella for its antioxidant effects, which can help protect against cellular damage. Tremella can be consumed in soups, desserts, or as a powder in supplements, offering a versatile and beneficial addition to health and wellness practices.
