MycoMedica Agaricus in optimal concentration, 90 capsules

Agaricus (almond mushroom) is called the mushroom from God. It contains the optimal amount of polysaccharides, glutamine complexes, campesterins and other bioactive substances.

Our  Agaricus  is grown on organic soil. The basis of this substrate is organic straw, natural fertilizer, wheat bran, organic crushed corn, natural gypsum and chalk. Part of the mushroom we use is  the fruiting body .

Action according to traditional Chinese medicine

• strengthens Qi of the entire body
• strengthens defensive Qi
• transforms mucus, stops cough
• relieves cramps
• excretes worms

Characteristics from the point of view of Traditional Chinese Medicine

• temperature – warm
• taste – sweet, slightly spicy
• tropism – spleen, stomach, intestines

Perfect composition, maximum strength and effect

Agaricus  (almond mushroom, Agaricus blazei Murill, Agaricus brasiliensis) was discovered by the "Western world" in Piedele, a small village in the mountains of the Sao Paulo region of Brazil. The local inhabitants were long-lived and lived in good health until they reached old age. These people very often ate  Agaricus  - the "mushroom from God".   In the 1960s, Dr. became very interested in  Agaricus and the relationship between the health of the village's inhabitants and their consumption. Furumoto, who sent  Agaricus  to Japan for research.

Thanks to biofermentation and  hot water extraction,  we offer high-quality agaricus extract, which has  the ideal ratio of active substances to obtain the best results :

• at least 30% polysaccharides (that's 33-34%)

Package contents:  90 capsules of 500 mg of extract - in gelatin or plant capsules (plants are suitable for vegans)

Net weight:  55.8g

About Agaricus

Currently,  Agaricus  is widespread and very popular not only in the kitchen. It contains large amounts of bioactive substances such as vitamins, minerals, but above all polysaccharides - beta glucans, krestin, glucomanans, ergosterols, sodium pyroglutamate, etc. It is used to produce preparations often used even in clinical trials. The concentration of polysaccharides in the extract is also important.

Agaricus blazei Murill  supports natural defense mechanisms and regulates the immune system. Scientists comparing the activity of mushroom polysaccharide molecules found that Agaricus molecules are  the most active of all mushrooms , which affects the immune system. Therefore, it is recommended to use  Agaricus   for a maximum of 1-2 months to avoid "fatigue" of the immune system.

Dosage:

• for health problems: 3–10 capsules a day (consultation with a doctor or Chinese medicine practitioner is recommended)
• for preventive use: 1-2 capsules a day
• We recommend using it 5 days a week and then taking a 2-day break
• use the capsules on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before a meal or 60 minutes after a meal), drink water or weak green tea
• When using medicinal mushrooms, we recommend increasing the intake of vitamin C, which increases the absorption of active substances. For example, in the form of Acerola Brazilian clove extract.
• Use Agaricus continuously for a maximum of 1-2 months. Follow the 5/2 rule - see above.

The basis of our company MycoMedica is based on strong pillars, which are:

QUALITY - SAFETY - EFFECTIVENESS

Emphasis on the environment

Most of our mushroom raw materials come from China. The ecological environment is not a priority for modern China. It is therefore difficult, but at the same time necessary, to find crops of medicinal mushrooms from completely pure and industrially untouched nature. MycoMedica mainly uses mushrooms grown in Fujian, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, areas that are virtually untouched by civilization.   Pesticides, heavy metals, microorganisms, molds and radioactive elements are factors against which mushroom raw materials must be unconditionally protected.

Testing at Agrolab

All mushroom raw materials used to produce our mushroom products are tested before processing in the  German independent Agrolab laboratory  for the presence of over 500 heavy metal contaminants, pesticides and microorganisms dangerous to humans.  We can provide these tests upon request.

We have expanded the classic tests performed by the German Agrolab to include testing for  polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons  (PAH), which have carcinogenic effects, may affect fetal development and are associated with cardiovascular diseases. More here.

The final stage of production of our products takes place under the most rigorous hygienic conditions in the Czech Republic. We apply ISO 9001/2009 production standards, have the  HACCP certificate  and have implemented the  IFS quality system .

How to choose a really high-quality medicinal mushroom product?

Powder or extract?

If we want to use as many active substances from mushrooms as possible, we must process them in such a way as to damage the chitin coating of the mushroom.  Humans do not have the necessary enzymes needed to digest chitin , so during digestion they cannot release the active substances from the fungal cell walls and obtain them.

Processing options:

a)  decoctions

You can make a decoction from dried mushrooms. However, this traditional method requires large amounts of mushrooms to achieve therapeutic effects.

b)  mushroom powder or biomass

Dried mushrooms are ground into a very fine powder. The chitin cover is partially damaged and our body is able to use the active substances.

c)  extracts

Thanks to gentle extraction with hot water, we can break the chitin barrier and extract  the maximum amount of active substances from the mushrooms.  In most mushroom cases, additional precipitation with ethyl alcohol (double extraction) is carried out at the end of this process, because some active substances are insoluble in water.

Extraction is the most optimal  way to process mushrooms for medical purposes. That's why the vast majority of medical research is conducted on extracts, not powdered mushrooms.

The main, but not the only, active substances of medicinal mushrooms are  polysaccharides  (mainly β-(1, 3)-D-glucans). While mushroom powder contains approximately 0.5-3% polysaccharides, our extracts contain  30% .

An important argument in favor of MycoMedica mushrooms is that many doctors and Chinese medicine therapists who have the greatest experience work with our products. More here.

We also use MycoMedica products in our office, so every day we receive information from patients about their effectiveness.

What should you pay attention to when choosing?

Some companies use regular starch in breeding to obtain a higher polysaccharide content. A regular laboratory is unable to detect it and such raw material has minimal therapeutic effects.  Together with German colleagues, we test all mushroom raw material to ensure that it contains only high-quality mushroom polysaccharides.

Some companies from China, in order to achieve microbiological purity of the extracts, expose the mushrooms to radiation, which destroys microorganisms. We emphasize that  MycoMedica products are not irradiated  at any stage of production.

Proven raw materials

Some Chinese manufacturers do not respect traditional production processes. For example, drying mushrooms must be done outdoors, and if possible, in the sun. Therefore, it is important for us to cooperate only with proven breeders and processors of mushroom raw materials. We do not use any untested raw materials in our products.

We take our slogan   QUALITY - SAFETY - EFFECTIVENESS  seriously. Thanks to this, we gradually became the most important Eastern European producer of medicinal mushroom products.
