The term "functional" comes from the approach: focusing on the optimal function of the body. Functional supplements are formulated to have a positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition, help reduce the risk of disease and promote optimal function of the body. Learn the basics here.

Why should I supplement with functional mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms provide a rich source of fungal polysaccharides, which can modulate and enhance the immune system. Varieties of mushrooms are nootropic (executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation) or adaptogenic (help increase energy and resistance to stress). Some can also benefit the nervous system, lungs, gut and more. Read about the bioactive compounds in mushrooms here.

About purana products

What does 8:1 and 16:1 mean? And dual-extract?

An extract is the essence of a substance, drawn out, and concentrated to maximize its benefits. For example in an 8:1 extract, 8 parts of the raw mushroom are used to create 1 part of the extract. They can be made using either 1) hot water, or 2) water combined with alcohol to aid in extracting beneficial non-water soluble compounds. This concentration ensures that all the potent active components of the mushroom are intensified into a smaller dose for your convenience. Learn more about extracts here.
