Mushroom Harvest takes many steps to ensure purity and a high constituent content. They are also concerned about providing mushroom products in which the constituents are in a bioavailable form. The main constituents of mushrooms, the 1,3-Beta Glucans, are tightly bound to the cell walls and have a low degree of bioavailability in raw mushrooms. To overcome this and increase the bioavailability of the constituents, all of their mushrooms undergo a steam activation process that breaks down the cell walls and frees the 1,3-Beta Glucans from the chitin. USDA Certified Organic: The organically grown mushrooms for this product are carefully grown, harvested, and processed at a certified organic farm and laboratory. To verify quality, each batch is sent to a third party analytical laboratory for testing. Made by Mushroom Harvest, Inc. in Ohio, U.S.A. Bai Hua Rong is the Pin Yin name. Inonotus Obliquus is the botanical name. Chaga mushrooms contain a wide variety of constituents from beta-glucans to triterpenes and betulin. This full spectrum chaga mushroom powder has a minimum beta glucan (polysaccharide) content of 15%.
