The potency of mushrooms lies in the Compounds of Interest locked within their cell walls. Primarily composed of Chitin, these cell walls are indigestible by humans.

Consequently, when we eat a mushroom, any compounds of interest are locked inside the chitin walls and simply pass through our gut.

So, extracting thess compounds is key. Extraction is the process of releasing these valuable compounds - making them bioavailable to us. Different extraction methods achieve success to varying degrees. What sets Kiihtu's extracts apart is the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology we use to maximise bioavailability.

(See below for the compounds in each mushroom)

At Kiihtu, we employ cutting-edge ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) technology, revolutionising the mushroom extract industry. Unlike traditional methods, UAE exposes mushrooms to ultrasonic waves during both hot water and alcohol extractions, releasing up to 92% of Compounds of Interest.

This can be roughly double a traditional dual extraction and allows you to benefit from all the powerful compounds in the final product.

UAE not only enhances product quality but also reduces water and energy demands, making it an environmentally friendly choice for mushroom extraction.
