Mushroom Science Supplement Agaricus Blazei Supplement Product Information:
Agaricus blazei is a relatively new addition to the family of medicinal mushrooms with research beginning in the 1980's. This species contains a unique beta 1-6 linkage and has an extensive history of use as a folk remedy in the areas of Brazil where it was originally discovered. Research has also shown that Agaricus blazei contains more beta glucans than any of the other medicinal mushrooms tested so far.   The in-vitro research and animal studies both show significant immune stimulating properties.
Research has been done on water soluble and alcohol soluble fractions of the polysaccharides, all of which were isolated through a hot water or hot water/alcohol extraction process. As with the other medicinal mushrooms, the primary active compounds in Agaricus blazei, the polysaccharides, are internal structural components of the indigestible cell walls. Extraction with a heated aqueous solution is required to release these active compounds into a bio-available form.
Our mushroom science supplement product is a hot water/alcohol extract, ensuring the presence of both the water and alcohol soluble fractions of the polysaccharides. Our 45% polysaccharide extract is the most potent extract available and is the only hot water extracted form of Agaricus blazei now being sold in North America.

• We grow our own certified organic mushrooms, on wood, the way nature intended.
• Every extract is carefully prepared, capturing the complete essence of what made these medicinal mushrooms valuable in the ancient herbal traditions of Japan and China.
• Quality is guaranteed; each supplement is formulated to deliver consistent and effective levels of all the primary active compounds identified in the scientific research. Every supplement that carries the MushroomScience label has been analyzed to ensure this is the case.
• Potency is listed on the label of every mushroom supplement, allowing you to take full advantage of the dosing recommendations proven effective in the scientific research.

No other medicinal mushroom supplement company can match our skill, sophistication or experience when it comes to providing you with guaranteed potency, research quality, certified organic mushrooms and mushroom supplements ... the proof is on every label.

Mushroom Science is the only mushroom company in North America that is willing to list the levels of all the scientifically validated active compounds on every supplement label.

With tens of thousands of peer reviewed studies published over the last forty years there is no longer any mystery regarding what the active compounds are in each of the different medicinal mushrooms. From Krestin (Coriolus) to Reishi to Maitake, the potency needed for therapeutic effect has been clearly established.

As Dr. Mark Stengler recognizes in his revolutionary new book, "The Health Benefits of Medicine Mushrooms", this potency information is essential, and it is what sets the MushroomScience supplements apart from all other mushroom supplements on the market.

It is only common sense and it is only fair; you need to know this potency information in order to see how the supplement stacks up to the potency standards established in the research.

Consistent and guaranteed potency are the foundation of traditional herbalism and the modern clinical research, and are essential to delivering the health benefits you are looking for when using Mushroom Science Medicinal Mushrooms.

Only Hot Water Mushroom Extracts Are:

• 100% Used in Traditional Herbalism
• 100% Used in The Clinical Research
• Proven Effective for Therapeutic Use

There are thousands of studies proving the effectiveness of hot water extracts (liquid and dehydrated). At the date of this latest revision, on 6/23/2005, our research has not located any independent studies verifying the effectiveness of mycelium bio-mass, un-extracted mushrooms, or alcohol tinctures (hydro-alcohol "extracts"). Which product would you bet your health on?

Why a Hot Water Mushroom Supplement Extract?

Mushrooms are unique, stationary like a plant, yet built from chitin, the same indigestible fiber that forms the shell of a lobster. Understanding the properties of chitin is critical to understanding how to choose an effective, high-quality medicinal mushroom product.

Chitin is indigestible by humans.(1) Yet chitin, which makes up the cell walls of mushrooms and mushroom mycelium, contains the potent immune stimulating compounds common to all medicinal mushrooms, the polysaccharides.(2) Practitioners of Traditional East Asian Medicine and modern clinical researchers both use the same preparation technique to overcome this barrier, hot water.

Only a heated liquid solution can break down the indigestible chitin and release the active compounds into a concentrated, bio-available form.(3) When used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for chronic conditions or immune health medicinal mushrooms are always prepared with heat and water, as a tea or a decoction. (4,5,6,7,8) Medicinal mushrooms are never used in the un-extracted form (as mycelium bio-mass powder or dried mushroom powder), and rarely prepared as a tincture (soaked in alcohol and water in the absence of heat).

Scientific research backs this traditional preparation method. Every published, independent study on the use of medicinal mushrooms for immune health has been conducted with a hot water or hot water/alcohol extract. Every form of extraction, including precipitation with alcohol, requires a heated liquid solution to first release the polysaccharides, the primary active compounds, from the chitinous cell walls of the mushroom and mushroom mycelium.(9)

This is true for Reishi;(10,11) Coriolus versicolor;(12,13) Maitake;(14) Shiitake;(15,16) and Cordyceps Mushrooms.(17) All of the well-known isolates are also extracted in a heated aqueous solution, including Maitake Gold 404® and Maitake D Fraction®, PSK®/VPS® and PSP from Coriolus versicolor, and Lentinan and LEM from Shiitake.

According to the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia mycelium bio-mass products are inferior because of a "lack of bio-availability". This publication also states that concentrates derived through hot water extraction contain levels of active compounds that are "magnitudes higher than what is available in crude mycelium biomass preparations."(18)

At Mushroom Science we take these lessons seriously. Our dehydrated hot water extracts are formulated to deliver all of the important constituents unique to each mushroom. Every batch is analyzed for purity, contains guaranteed levels of the active compounds, and is offered as a pure extract, containing no mycelium bio-mass or ground mushrooms as filler.
