Ours is grown in shade-free, climate-controlled greenhouses, free from herbicides, pesticides, and heavy-metal contamination.
New Roots Herbal's Coriolus Versicolor is hot water-extracted medicinal mushroom formula standardized to contain 40% polysaccharides (500 mg per capsule). Hot-water extraction is critical in obtaining a high-quality and effective mushroom product and is the traditional Asian method of extraction. In the whole mushroom, polysaccharides are bound by an indigestible cell wall comprised of chitin; chitin must be dissolved through hot water in order to gently release the medicinal components, the mushroom polysaccharides. Conversely, grinding the mushroom may cause damage to the long-chain polysaccharides and fails to remove the indigestible chitin (fibre), limiting the number of therapeutic constituents that can be fit per capsule. Standardization ensures that the final product contains a consistent amount of polysaccharides to allow delivery of a therapeutic dose.
Two of the water-soluble polysaccharides of coriolus, PSK and PSP, are credited with immune systemโ strengthening properties that have popularized this mushroom species.
