Pure Reishi Extract Powder

Pure Reishi Extract Powder: Fruiting Body Extract with Standardized Polysaccharides

When choosing a reishi ingredient, first look at the supplier, the level of content and the paperwork. Our Pure Reishi Extract Powder is from the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum cultivated in China. Supplied by FuYNature. The polysaccharide content varies from 10% to 50% and the totally water soluble beta glucan grade varies from 10% to 30%. Shelf life is 24 months for the brown red powder. Listed certificates include HACCP, ISO9001:2015, USDA Organic and FSSC 22000. It’s designed for capsules, drinks and skincare formulations.

What Is Reishi Extract?

Reishi extract is prepared from Ganoderma lucidum by extraction, commonly with water, ethanol or a combination of the two. Raw mushroom contains a chitinous cell wall. Potency can vary batch to batch. Extraction concentrates the active components, notably polysaccharides (including beta-glucans) and triterpenoids, allowing for more consistent dosing in nutraceutical and functional food formulae.

Water extraction predominantly captures polysaccharides, whereas ethanol also captures fat-soluble triterpenes. Please clarify with our team the extraction route and the actives measured for your grade before ordering.

Pure Reishi Extract Powder Specifications

The table lists the data provided for Pure Reishi Extract Powder.

Parameters that are not listed in the table, such as mesh size, moisture, triterpene content and the heavy metal limits, are not specified on this page. Please request the specification sheet for those values.

Appearance, Taste and Handling

It is a brownish red powder with a odour. Reishi has an inherent bitter taste, hence taste masking should be tried in your own formulation.

For beverages, start with the grade with completely water soluble beta-glucan (10%-30%). You should check dispersion and sediment in your own base, as results vary on the recipe, the temperature and the other ingredients.

Fruiting Body Source and Organic Documentation

The extract is taken from the fruiting body, not from the mycelium growing on grain.FuYNature integrates cultivation and processing, and implements process control from strain selection to cultivation.

Certificates that are listed: USDA Organic If you are selling in the EU or another market, tell us where and we will tell you what documentation are available.

Testing and Quality Control

UV indicated as test method. Heavy metals are in the list of meeting the standard. Total mould count is less than 1000 cfu/g. The exact values and the standard referred can be found in the specification sheet.

You can obtain a Megazyme Beta-Glucan test result to check for starch based fillers like maltodextrin. The approach separates fungal beta-glucans from the alpha-glucans derived from starch. Copies of certificates can be requested according to your target market.

Where You Can Use It

There are three primary product categories for Pure Reishi Extract Powder.

Functional drinks in an instant. Rapid dispersion and minimal sediment in hot liquid is needed for mushroom coffee and relaxing teas. The starting point is the totally water soluble beta-glucan grade and experiments in your own base will confirm the result.

Capsules for dietary supplements. Higher content grades mean you can attain a specific polysaccharide dose with less powder per capsule. The proper grade will depend on your dose and size capsule.

Skin care & nutricosmetics. Serums and masks need low microbial count and regulated heavy metals. Check out the cosmetic and advertising standards of your market before making any claims of skin benefits.

Dosage Forms and Custom Options

This basic material can be applied in capsules, solid beverages, coffee, tea, spore powder goods and oil-based applications. Capsule makers can conduct comparisons of the higher content grades and drink brands should first test solubility.

We may customise the parameters and offer various levels of content. Let us know what your target polysaccharide or beta-glucan level is, and whether you can tolerate using carriers such as maltodextrin for spray drying.

Please check four points before you choose the product for a new formula. Content level, water solubility, mesh size and the organic rules of your market. We can direct you to references for formulations and dosage forms, but custom development of completed products is another matter.

Storage, Shelf Life and Packaging

Storage: Store product in a cool, dry area, out of light and away from excessive temperatures. Shelf life is 24 months. Reishi absorbs moisture easily, so make sure to seal the bottle carefully after each opening. Please contact us for available packing sizes.
