What's Really Inside

What's Really Inside

Mushroom supplements often advertise beta-glucans, but fillers, starches, and sweeteners can make testing less accurate. A refined lab method improved beta-glucan measurement across mushrooms, yeast, algae, gummies, tinctures, and capsules while reducing testing time from 7 hours to 4 hours and 25 minutes. More accurate testing helps separate well-made mushroom products from confusing labels.
