What is MicoVital ® Shiitake?
MicoVital ® Shiitake is a dietary supplement based on the extract of the shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes), of which the fruiting body is used exclusively. This mushroom is of great nutritional interest because it contains all the essential amino acids and provides a good amount of vitamins and minerals, as well as fatty acids. In addition, it contains other compounds of interest such as beta-glucans and triterpenes (erythadenine and L-ergothioneine), with functional properties on the immune system and
cholesterol.
The extraction is performed by ultrasound (UAE), with hot water and alcohol. With this innovative method, we are able to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in
shiitake.
The product is available in bottles with the liquid extract, which contains only shiitake in a convenient presentation: a 50 ml bottle. It can be taken by adding it to coffee, tea or smoothies, or directly sublingually.
Ideal to take at any time of the day for when you need to boost your immune system.
With Nordic Mushrooms seal.
What are medicinal mushrooms?
Although until a few years ago fungi were classified as vegetables, today they are considered to constitute an independent kingdom of equal rank as animals and plants. With a high nutritional profile of proteins, micronutrients and important bioactive compounds, they are an important nutritional tool for taking care
of our health.
They represent an important source of biologically active polysaccharides in fruiting bodies or in some cases sterile heads. Most of these polysaccharides belong to the beta-glucan group; they have beta- (1—>3) bonds in the glucan backbone and additional beta- (1—>6) branch points that are responsible for the properties of these
medicinal fungi.
Advantages of using fruiting bodies and sterile heads vs mycelium
In the MicoVital ® line of medicinal mushrooms, we only use the fruiting bodies of fungi, using birch bark from the forests of Finland as a substrate. As an exception, we have the Chaga mushroom, which is collected from birch trees in the forests of Finnish Lapland and whose sterile heads are used, and the Cordiceps, which is a fungus that concentrates the compounds of interest in the mycelium.
Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE)
Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is an innovative extraction technique that significantly improves the performance of compounds of interest in the final extract
.
During extraction, mechanical vibrations are sent through the liquid suspension that cause enormous pressure flows on or within small areas located in the liquid suspension.
This causes what is known as acoustic or ultrasonic cavitation, which forms small pressure bubbles on the surface of the mushroom cells present in the solvent; these eventually implode or “collapse”, causing an opening in the cell wall of the fungus and exposing the internal constituents to the solvent of the extract.
In this way, the UAE is similar to a key that “opens the treasure chest” enclosed within the walls of fungal cells, easily releasing compounds of interest and optimizing extraction.
Shiitake
The Chinese mushroom or shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is an edible mushroom with a brown color and an intense aroma. Its common name comes from Japanese, consisting of the words “take”, which means mushroom, and “shii”, which refers to the tree on which it usually grows, Castanopsis cuspidata,
a variety of oak.
He wears a nice beige and brown hat, with a soft touch, which in nature can reach up to 25 centimeters in diameter.
Perhaps it was the first mushroom cultivated, about 2000 years ago, in Japan, Korea and some regions of China. The Japanese ethnic Kyusuyu offered them to Emperor Chuai back in 199, and the emperors of the Ming dynasty enjoyed them to maintain their strength and youth.
Why is MicoVital ® Shiitake extract so special?
- Only the fruiting bodies of shiitake, organically grown on birch bark from the forests of Finland, are used.
- “Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE)” technology, spring water and alcohol as a preservative for the final extract. With this innovative extraction method, we are able to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in shiitake.
- Miron violet glass bottles are used, a unique type of glass container known as a biophotonic. Miron glass also filters harmful rays while filtering infrared, ultraviolet and violet lights, extending the lifespan and effectiveness of the product. Due to a particular mix of minerals present inside the Miron glass, this bottle also guarantees optimal nutrient preservation .
