Ours are extracts. Organic mushroom goes through hot water extraction to open the chitin cell walls human digestion cannot break down, then the liquid is concentrated and dried. It is a longer process than simply grinding a mushroom into powder, and it shows in the price. Comparing an extract with a ground powder by price per gram tells you almost nothing.\r\n\r\nThe figure on the label is the extract itself. Our lion's mane capsule holds 350mg of extract powder, chaga 370mg and maitake 380mg. Where a product page gives a standardisation figure, that is the fairest number to compare with another brand. Be careful with labels that quote only how much whole mushroom went in at the start, because that describes the raw material and not the contents of the capsule. The line you want reads extract, given per capsule, and ideally sits beside a percentage.\r\n\r\nEach species is sold on its own because most people come looking for one mushroom rather than a blend. The capsules are vegan, made from cellulose rather than gelatine, with nothing to taste. If you would rather chew than swallow, several of the same species come as mushroom gummies. There is a fair point on the other side: some people never take to swallowing a capsule every morning, and a format you abandon after a fortnight is no use to anyone. The extract is the same either way."],"_intro_section_section_content":["field_6a952cfe8a18e"],"intro_section":[""],"_intro_section":["field_6a952c3a8a18b"],"usp_items":["5"],"_usp_items":["field_6a952db73d218"],"comparison_section_heading":["Compare Endoca Mushroom Capsules"],"_comparison_section_heading":["field_6a95305787a51"],"comparison_section_description":["The six mushroom extract capsules in the UK range, compared by species, extract per capsule, who each suits and what the extract is known for.\r\n"],"_comparison_section_description":["field_6a9530f087a52"],"comparison_section_table_headers":["5"],"_comparison_section_table_headers":["field_6a99019625eef"],"comparison_section_table_rows":["6"],"_comparison_section_table_rows":["field_6a95310087a53"],"comparison_section":[""],"_comparison_section":["field_6a95303487a50"],"strength_table_heading":[""],"_strength_table_heading":["field_6ad0a6f35934d"],"strength_table_description":[""],"_strength_table_description":["field_6ad0a6f35934e"],"strength_table_table_headers":[""],"_strength_table_table_headers":["field_6ad0a6f35934f"],"strength_table_table_rows":[""],"_strength_table_table_rows":["field_6ad0a6f359351"],"strength_table":[""],"_strength_table":["field_6ad0a6f35934c"],"content_with_image_section_heading":["What Are Mushroom Capsules?"],"_content_with_image_section_heading":["field_6a95435b07517"],"content_with_image_section_content":["Mushroom capsules are a measured amount of mushroom extract in a capsule you swallow with water. The extract is the same material used in a mushroom gummy. A capsule simply holds more of it by weight, with no taste and nothing added to carry it. Because every capsule carries a fixed, labelled weight of extract, you always know what you have taken without weighing or spooning anything, which is the main practical difference from buying a loose powder and measuring it yourself.\r\n\r\nA mushroom extract is not mushroom powder. Powder is the dried, ground mushroom or mycelium, sometimes with its grain milled in. An extract has been hot water extracted to break down chitin and release the polysaccharides, then concentrated. That is why the extract weight, and a standardisation figure where one is published, says much more than a species name. Two tubs can both say lion's mane on the front and contain quite different things, and only the back of the label will tell you which is which.\r\n\r\nNone of these species is psychoactive or related to psilocybin mushrooms. Our cordyceps is Cordyceps militaris, cultivated under controlled conditions because the wild species is rare and cannot be extracted consistently. Turkey tail is too woody to cook with, so an extract is really the only sensible way to take it, while maitake is also sold as a culinary mushroom. All six are sold in Great Britain as food supplements, which governs what can and cannot be said about them on this
