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 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.

This mushroom has been popular in China and Japan for centuries for medicinal use and cooking. It is generally used to sooth some stomach issues and improve nerve health.
