Why buy Mushrooms for life?
Pure Grade Extract or PURE GRADE
- Mushrooms for Life from the UK uses only Pure Grade mushroom extracts, which guarantee a 100% concentration of mushrooms without added binders.
- Pure Grade is the hallmark of the highest quality mushroom supplements.
- They use only the highest quality organic ingredients, which are carefully selected to take full advantage of the functions of each mushroom.
The market for vital mushrooms is flooded with products that don't cost a thing, so you should do your research and make sure that any supplement you choose fully meets your needs.
Beware of advertising gimmicks under the name Full Spectrum, which usually means "mycelium product"!
Full-spectrum products may contain all the essential parts of the fungus - spores, mycelium and fruiting bodies - but that's not all. Mostly this term is used by manufacturers whose products are balanced on the mycelium of the fungus, the underground network of fungal "roots" that helps sustain the life of the fungus.
For starters, a high-quality mushroom dietary supplement should:
- be made from mushroom extract, not whole mushroom powder
- be derived from fruiting bodies and not from mycelial biomass
- be produced by a single process: hot water extraction
- come from organic sources (organic certification) and preferably from the original source of growth (China, Siberia)
- have an appropriate, verifiable beta-glucan or hericenone content
- have other ingredients that are also pure and in line with your needs - this is where independent laboratory tests for purity and heavy metal content come in
We guarantee that Mushrooms for Life meets all these conditions and there is no better brand on the European market.
Tradition and quality
Mushrooms for Life sources only the highest quality mushrooms that are organically grown from their own farmers in China. The use of medicinal mushrooms has been a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine and this practice dates back thousands of years.
No country has more extensive knowledge of mushroom cultivation and sourcing than China. China is also home to some of the world's largest and cleanest forests, which provide an ideal environment for fungi to grow.
Based on ongoing DNA analyses, it is widely known that China grows the highest quality mushrooms in the world. Vital mushrooms have been approved in Japan and China for more than 30 years as an adjunct to standard treatment for diseases that are not allowed to be discussed in the EU.
In these countries, mushrooms have been used safely for a long time, either alone or in combination with radiation or chemotherapy.
In Asia, there are more than 100 species of mushrooms used to treat this disease. The most common include Ganoderma lucidum (reishi), Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor (Outcaffe), Lentinus edodes (shiitake) and Grifola frondosa (maitake).

The Story of Mushrooms for Life
Mushrooms For Life was originally founded in 2011 by well-known British naturopath and author Martin Powell with the aim of making the best mushroom supplements widely available and accessible.
Martin, who is fluent in Mandarin, spent many years in China working with experienced local growers to ensure Mushrooms For Life sources the highest quality ingredients, which is a key focus for the brand today.
In 2017 Martin entrusted Mushrooms For Life to his colleagues and experienced mushroom experts Graham Botfield and Ben Shouler, who continue his work to this day.
Why take just hericium mushroom?
Brain health
Studies have found that hericium stimulates the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which helps maintain neurons, which are brain cells that help us process and transmit information.
It is useful for learning and memory and helps to optimize neurogenesis; the formation and growth of new brain cells, making it an ideal nootropic for promoting focus and productivity.
Neuroprotection
A 2020 study found that people with a mild form of Alzheimer's disease who took hericium daily for 49 weeks experienced significant improvements in brain health. While those taking the placebo experienced a decline in several markers of cognitive function.
Mental Health
Studies suggest that hericium may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by modulating levels of specific neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a key role in regulating mood, motivation and stress response.

Why is the hericium mushroom called lion's mane?
Hericium, or Lion's Mane, is a vital mushroom that resembles a lion's mane in appearance, which is why it is so often called or nicknamed the 'Mountain Priest'. In alternative medicine, it is used to support the proper functioning of the cognitive and nervous system.
In Western medicine, it is used as a nootropic due to its psychoactive content and ability to stimulate active nerve growth factors (NGF). It has a sweet and mild taste and is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to regulate energy "Qi" and aid digestion. It calms the spirit of "Shen" and soothes the mind.
Try adding a dose of dried hericium to dough when baking or simply stir it into a smoothie and harness its powers for your health!

Pure grade extract
- Mushrooms for Life's Pure Grade range of extracts are considered medical grade and contain the highest levels of active ingredients.
- For mushroom capsules and powders, "beverage grade" extracts are commonly used which contain high amounts of maltodextrin to make them encapsulate better and taste sweeter.
- Pure grade is the hallmark of the highest quality mushroom supplements.
The difference between a dried extract and a tincture
A powdered extract represents a tenfold concentration of the plant, while most liquid extracts (i.e. tinctures) represent only a four- or fivefold dilution of the plant (which is actually the opposite of an extract).
Concentrated powder extracts
- A concentrated powdered extract is usually made from just the original herb or mushroom and water (although alcohol is sometimes used).
- The mixture is boiled until the desired concentration is reached, and then spray-dried.
- They should always be labeled with the concentration ratio and usually this is a 5:1 or 10:1 ratio (like our extracts).
- For example, a 10:1 extract means that ten parts of the original plant have been used to produce only one part of the final extract.
- The result is a highly concentrated product.
- Remember that taking one teaspoon of powdered extract is equivalent to using more than three tablespoons of the whole plant/mushroom.
Standardized powdered extracts
- Standardized powder extracts are made in a similar manner to concentrated extracts, except that the mixture of plant and water (or alcohol) is reduced to the exact concentration of the identified compound.
- In the case of mushroom extracts such as chaga, reishi and coriolus extracts, the active polysaccharides are concentrated.
- The result is a highly concentrated extract, and for a standardized extract, an equivalent of 30:1 (or more) is achieved many times over.
- Standardized extracts are even more concentrated than most other powdered extracts and provide unique information about the actual content of the identified active ingredients in the plant.
- These compounds can vary widely depending on a myriad of factors including growing region, soil conditions, time of harvest, etc., and so on.
- Being able to know exactly how much of a particular compound is in the extract you are taking is very valuable, especially for professional herbalists.

- This is a dual extract of the fruiting body.
- Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Dosage
Ideally taken at 10am with or without food. Add to coffee, smoothies, porridge, etc.
Ingredient information

Active ingredients
Hericenones
Lion's Mane berries are rich in hericenones, which are thought to contribute to the cognitive effects of the mushroom. They have strong antibacterial activity and help stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a neuropeptide that helps maintain neurons and promotes optimal brain functioning.
Beta-glucans
High amounts of polysaccharides including beta-glucans to support immunity.
Antioxidants
Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.
According to EU regulations, we have to write on our website:

- If you are undergoing treatment (sick), pregnant or expecting pregnancy, consult a qualified nutritionist/physician for the use of the product.
But! Each person has different needs, which means the recommended daily dosage is not set in stone.
