Medicinal mushrooms as a combination of extract and powder – our synergistic mixed form
Medicinal mushrooms are enjoying increasing popularity as a natural supplement to a balanced diet. The combination of mushroom extract and powder is particularly popular—a hybrid that combines the benefits of both in one product.
What are medicinal mushrooms?
Medicinal mushrooms, also known as medicinal mushrooms, have been valued for centuries in various cultures – especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Among the best-known species areReishi,Shiitake,Maitake,Cordyceps,Hericium,ChagaandAgaricusThey contain a variety of valuable ingredients such as polysaccharides (e.g. beta-glucans), triterpenes, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
Powder vs. extract – what’s the difference?
Medicinal mushroom powder is made from the dried and finely ground fruiting body of the mushroom. It contains all the components of the mushroom in their natural composition—including fiber, trace elements, and secondary plant substances.
Medicinal mushroom extract, on the other hand, is obtained through a gentle extraction process in which specific bioactive ingredients—particularly polysaccharides—are specifically concentrated. The extract therefore has a higher content density than the pure powder.
The extraction follows a traditional method and ensures a consistent amount of mushroom-specific polysaccharides. Grains also contain high levels of various polysaccharides. However, the crucial, valuable beta-d-glucans are found only in mushrooms and not in grains. Our extract + powder blends contain 240 mg of acerola extract, of which 40 mg is vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for the normal function of your immune system.
Organic & vegan
Our medicinal mushrooms Agaricus, Auricularia, Coprinus, Coriolus, Hericium, Maitake, Polyporus, Reishi, and Shiitake are certified organic and vegan. Cordyceps is vegan.
The combination: extract + powder = synergy
The blend of extract and powder combines the strengths of both. While the extract provides a high concentration of certain substances, the powder preserves the natural diversity of the mushroom's constituents. This creates a holistic product that contains both concentrated and original mushroom components.
This combination is particularly suitable for people who value a comprehensive supply of the natural ingredients of medicinal mushrooms – whether as part of an active lifestyle or for a conscious diet.
Application and quality
When choosing a mixed medicinal mushroom product, it's important to consider the quality: HAWLIK medicinal mushrooms have a high polysaccharide content in their extract. We process them gently, and our raw materials come from controlled cultivation. We process the entire fruiting body – without additives, fillers, or carriers.
Conclusion
Medicinal mushrooms in the combination of extract and powder offer a balanced application, combining the best of both worlds. They provide both a concentrated selection of bioactive substances and the natural structures of the whole mushroom. This synergistic blend makes the mixed form a popular choice for nutrition-conscious individuals.
