Tremella mushroom has many health properties and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It is valued for its strong anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Tremella also contains many nutrients such as vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D and various minerals such as potassium, magnesium and selenium. Tremella mushrooms are also high in protein and fiber, making them an excellent choice for weight management.  Tremella / Tremella – action:

• Thanks to the content of beta-glucans, it strengthens immunity and protects against infections, and may also have anti-cancer properties.
• contains vitamins: B, C, D,
• source of minerals: potassium, magnesium, selenium,
• anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects,
• provides fiber and supports weight loss,
• promotes skin health and prevents psoriasis, acne and skin diseases,
• promotes faster wound healing.

Tremella mushrooms have been found to have many health benefits in clinical studies. They are anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in nature and also serve to support the immune system, reduce inflammation and promote a healthy heart.

Tremella has a variety of properties that include treating acne and other skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Tremella mushroom can also be used to aid weight loss, prevent cancer cells from multiplying, and heal wounds faster.

These mushrooms grow on trees and can be eaten whole, in capsule form or in powder form.

Tremella fuciformis is a characteristic white mushroom, rich in polysaccharides and glocans, as well as dietary fiber and plant collagen.

MycoMedica Tremella Wrack BIO Powder is a dried fruiting body of a mushroom, powdered using a method that allows for the breakdown of the chitinous coating of cells and the release of active ingredients. This form of the product has a more subtle effect.

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.
