Fruiting body mushrooms must be prepared properly for them to be bioavailable. Similar to ceremonial cacao, we believe that nothing should be added or removed. 

Pre-digesting the mushrooms with water extraction is a process that makes them more bioavailable than the raw mushrooms on their own.

A 1:1 extract starts by finely milling dried mushrooms. This powder is extracted for three hours in hot water at 80 C. After this extraction, much of the water is evaporated to produce a concentrated fluid. This fluid still contains the mushroom powder. This powder-filled fluid is sent to a spray drier which creates a fine powder. 

The most important takeaway of this process is the fact that the raw material is never separated from the extraction fluid.  This means that nothing from the original mushroom is lost or discarded.

Water extraction mobilizes the soluble beta-glucans and most other nutritional compounds from the fiber. Research has shown that the most immunologically active compounds in mushrooms are the soluble beta-glucans.
