The 30%/40% difference reflects total beta-glucan polysaccharide content measured via UV-Vis. Higher polysaccharide content is positioned for premium applications.
Reishi spores have a hard outer shell (sporoderm). Shell-broken spores have the cell wall broken to release the active compounds inside, increasing bioavailability.
Reishi Spore Powder is commonly combined with other adaptogenic herbs. We recommend consulting with your formulation team for specific combinations.
Reishi Spore Powder is permitted as a food supplement ingredient in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Total polysaccharides (beta-glucans) are quantified via UV-Vis spectroscopy per industry-standard methods.
Standard MOQ is 1 kg. Smaller quantities (100-500g) are available for evaluation.
