Organic Mushroom Complex 8 – High strength organic mushroom supplement

Organic Mushroom Complex 8 is a highly dosed, organic food supplement based on eight medicinal mushroom species: chaga, cordyceps, coprinus comatus, lion's mane, maitake, oyster Betox93®, reishi and shiitake. The mushrooms are organically grown in Europe on a plant-based gluten-free substrate and double-extracted with water and alcohol for high bioavailability and a full spectrum of active components. The product is third-party tested in the UK and Ireland for purity and potency, and is free of fillers, binders and allergens.

Summary
One capsule content of 616 mg provides 77 mg of each mushroom species with a documented polysaccharide content (30–93%) and over 40% total polysaccharides and at least 10% beta‑glucans. A pure and vegan product without additives. Recommended use is 1–4 capsules daily, preferably 30 minutes before meals.

Health effects
Organic Mushroom Complex 8 contains five health effects with good documentation:

• Supports the normal function of the immune system (EFSA-ID 1998, 2008)

• Contributes to protection against oxidative stress (EFSA‑ID 1999)

• Supports normal cognitive function and mental performance (lion's mane, EFSA‑Q‑2008‑2114)

• Contributes to normal energy turnover and reduction of fatigue (EFSA‑ID 1924/2006)

Two main functions/effects:

• Support for the immune system and antioxidant protection (reishi, chaga, oyster Betox93®)

• Cognitive support and mental clarity (lion's mane, maitake)

A surprising, lesser-known effect: The study by Kim SP et al. (2011) indicate that maitake and shiitake can support normal blood sugar regulation and lipid balance, without mentioning the treatment of disease⁠
