The 20%/30% difference reflects total triterpenes (ganoderic acids) content measured via UV-Vis / HPLC. Higher triterpene content is positioned for premium applications.
Q2: Why is it CO2 extracted?
Supercritical CO2 extraction is a clean, residue-free method that preserves heat-sensitive compounds and produces high-purity oil without solvent residues.
Q3: Can Reishi Spore Oil be combined with other herbs?
Reishi Spore Oil is commonly combined with other adaptogenic herbs. We recommend consulting with your formulation team for specific combinations.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
Reishi Spore Oil is permitted as a food supplement ingredient in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is the triterpene content measured?
Total triterpenes (ganoderic acids) are quantified via UV-Vis spectroscopy and HPLC per industry-standard methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 1 kg. Smaller quantities (100-500g) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific triterpene content, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
