The fact that our ingredients are produced in Tyrol, a mycological laboratory recognised by the Austrian government, is proof of the excellence of our products. In the laboratory of the Mushroom Research Center Austria GmbH (MRCA), organic medicinal mushroom species with a high active ingredient content are cultivated. Research has shown that the nutrient content of organic foods can be up to 100% higher than those from conventional farms.

The laboratory’s research is always looking for the mushroom species with the highest active ingredient content, so our products will have a higher active ingredient content. There is no similar product on the market!

Because of the hot water fractionation, the formulations of PGN liquid extracts contain polysaccharides (1-3 -glucans), essential amino acids (e.g. glutamic acid, L-tryptophan, L-arginine, lysine), and vitamins in the fungi, as well as organic active ingredients such as benzaldehydes or plant steroids and phospholipids due to the ethanol fractionation. The importance of polysaccharides-fuels for the immune system: a common theme in most scientific reports is that the most important health effect of mushroom preparations is to stimulate the immune system. Polysaccharides are most commonly used to restore weakened immune functions, prevent and adjunct treatment of cancers, and prevent and treat colds, various inflammations, and viral infections. In elderly people, it is an important immune stabilising agent.

The significance of phospholipids: Lipids are essential organic compounds in living organisms that are apolar macromolecules composed of glycerol and fatty acids. They are insoluble in water. They are important energy stores and structure builders in the body, but also include hormones and vitamins A, K, E, and D. Medicinal mushrooms, and therefore our Reishi mushroom extract, contains non-hydrolysing lipids (eicosanoids, terpenes, steroids, carotenoids), including terpenes, steroids, and carotenoids.
