The Mycogen Extraction Technology: Science in Service of Nature 🧪🍄

What sets Mycogen apart is the synergy between pure raw materials and advanced laboratory technology at our facility in Taichung.

🌱 100% Fruiting Bodies – Zero Fillers

While many mushroom supplements are derived from mycelium grown on grains (like rice or oats), Mycogen uses 100% Fruiting Bodies exclusively. The fruiting body is the most potent stage of the mushroom's life cycle, containing significantly higher concentrations of therapeutic compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes. Our extracts are completely free of grain and starch—delivering only the purest form ofemoshroom at its maximum natural potency.

Advanced Triple Extraction Protocol

Our multi-stage laboratory protocol combines classic Soxhlet methodology with modern ultrasonic cavitation across 3 core phases to break down rigid chitin walls and capture the full spectrum of active constituents:

⚗️ 1. Alcohol Extraction

Combining an intensive Soxhlet cycle with ultrasonic cavitation in alcohol. This efficiently isolates and extracts alcohol-soluble compounds such as triterpenoids.

💧 2. Cold Water Ultrasound

Transitioning to aqueous extraction using cold water paired with ultrasound waves, designed to protect and isolate delicate, heat-sensitive compounds.

🔥 3. Hot Water Ultrasound

The final critical stage utilizing controlled heat and ultrasound to unlock water-soluble polysaccharides (like beta-glucans) locked deep within the cell walls.

The result is a highly concentrated liquid extract, additive-free, and designed for rapid absorption—offering significantly higher efficacy than standard mushroom powders.
