Products Description
Oyster Mushroom Extract Powder 30% Beta-Glucans - Pleurotus Ostreatus Extract | Immune Support & Functional Food Ingredient
Our Oyster Mushroom Extract Powder is derived from premium Pleurotus ostreatus, one of the most nutritionally dense edible mushrooms globally. Standardized to contain minimum 30% beta-glucans, this fine tan to light brown powder captures the full spectrum of bioactive compounds from the mushroom's fruiting bodies.
Produced using a proprietary dual-extraction process (hot water and ethanol), our extract preserves both water-soluble polysaccharides (including beta-glucans) and fat-soluble nutrients, ensuring comprehensive nutritional benefits. This method enhances the bioavailability of key components such as ergosterol, triterpenoids, and essential amino acids.
Free from artificial additives, GMOs, gluten, and common allergens, our Oyster Mushroom Extract Powder meets stringent international standards for food, supplement, and cosmetic applications. It complies with FDA, EU, and organic regulations, making it a versatile ingredient for clean-label formulations.
