Why do we spend the money and time to lab test our medicinal mushroom tincture?
Many mushrooms are hyperaccumulators that can have heavy metals in them. We pick our mushrooms deep in the Arizona forests, with a low probability of them containing harmful compounds. But, we feel it is our duty to KNOW and not GUESS what’s in our products. Toxic metals can cause harm instead of the intended benefits of taking mushroom extracts.
Because we extract and then concentrate our tinctures, it is even more imperative to know if these heavy metals are present in dangerous levels or not.
Also, we want to know how much of some of the beneficial compounds are found in our extracts. In the past, we have been frustrated with trying to purchase mushroom products without any real idea of what is actually in them. How do we know how much to actually take or compare one product to another?
We are a small business and cannot afford to test for all of the known medicinal compounds. But, we want to provide you with some of the major ones so you can see our products are strong and are made with quality products. As we grow as a business, our testing ability will also grow and we will continue to provide more detailed information!
