Product detailed description

That is why the tincture is so potent and rich in active substances that the body can absorb easily. Shiitake is a generally great booster. You will appreciate it especially during hectic times or when you are not feeling quite yourself.

How did this particular tincture win us over?

• It is made with the fruiting bodies, not the mycelium. All beneficial substances are found in the part of the mushroom that grows above the surface. Some manufacturers use mycelium grown in laboratories, and their products may consequently lack some of the active substances.
• It is the result of a double extraction method. Fungal cell walls consist of the polysaccharide chitin, which the human body cannot process. The double extraction method breaks down the chitin barrier with the combination of hot water, alcohol, and UAE (Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction) technology. This is how the manufacturer managed to obtain both the substances soluble in water and in alcohol.
• It is concentrated and easy to digest. Every drop of the tincture will provide your body with the maximum of the active substances found in maitake. Moreover, the UAE technology ensures high bioavailability of the biologically active compounds.
• This shiitake comes from responsibly farmed forests in Lapland. The mushroom used for the preparation of this tincture grows in the wild beyond the polar circle. It is harvested responsibly, with respect for the balance of the forest ecosystem.
