Nuestros hongos provienen de granjas ubicadas en las regiones montañosas de la provincia de Fujian de China, donde los hongos se han cultivado utilizando métodos tradicionales durante cientos de años.

Se cultivan en madera natural donde ocurren en naturaleza salvaje. Cortamos solo los cuerpos fructíferos de los hongos, sin aditivos ni rellenos innecesarios.

Todos los hongos experimentan pruebas de presencia de metales pesados, hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos y parámetros microbiológicos clave para garantizar la máxima seguridad alimentaria.

Solo usamos los cuerpos fructíferos del hongo. Esto se debe al deseo de obtener un extracto de hongo puro. Al tratar con los suplementos basados ​​en micelio, desafortunadamente puede resultar que hasta el 60-70% de dicho extracto será almidón en lugar de hongos sin los efectos que promueven la salud atribuidos a los hongos.

Esto se debe a la incapacidad de separar el micelio del medio en el que creció. Una vez que el hongo ha colonizado el medio, todo está molido y está sometido a procesos de extracción. Esta es una forma barata y rápida de cultivar hongos sin llevarlos a la etapa de fructificación.

Nuestros extractos de hongos no están estandarizados a una cantidad específica de polisacáridos, ya que este no es un indicador de la calidad del extracto.

Los productos a base de hongos contienen muchos tipos de polisacáridos (polisacáridos), como quitina, alfa glucans o beta glucans.

Los alfa glucans son compuestos que no tienen las propiedades atribuidas a los hongos. Por lo general, se derivan del medio almidón en el que crece el hongo. Se usan en productos de micelio o biomasa de hongos, que es una mezcla de micelio y cuerpos fructíferos.

Las sustancias activas también son polisacáridos, pero en una configuración diferente: beta-D-Glucans 1-3 y 1-6. Estos se encuentran en los cuerpos fructíferos de hongos.

Los cuerpos fructíferos de hongos secos están molidos a un polvo fino y luego se extraen con agua caliente y alcohol.

El agua disuelve las paredes celulares de los hongos, que están hechos de quitina, y extrae compuestos como beta glucanos (polisacáridos biológicamente activos en hongos). Dado que no tenemos una enzima que pueda digerir efectivamente la extracción de quitina, la extracción de agua caliente es fundamental para la biodisponibilidad de las preparaciones fúngicas. El alcohol, por otro lado, permite la extracción de compuestos insolubles de agua como triterpenos.

Una vez que el extracto se ha concentrado, sigue el secado por pulverización, dejando un extracto seco final. El secado por pulverización es el proceso de deshidratación óptimo para los extractos húmedos, manteniendo las pérdidas de nutrientes al mínimo.

La extracción es la forma óptima de procesar hongos para extraer las sustancias activas. Estos están encapsulados en las paredes celulares de los hongos, que están formados por quitina.

No tenemos una enzima que sea capaz de digerir quitina y, por esta razón, los hongos deben estar sujetos a procesos de extracción. La extracción hace que la materia prima sea completamente asimilable por nuestro cuerpo.

Lion's Mane y Cordyceps, ya que los hongos apoyan el estado de alerta y aumentan los niveles de energía, se toman mejor en la primera parte del día o antes de un entrenamiento. Si está agregando hongos a su café, es una buena idea limitar su consumo de café a entre las 13:00 y las 14:00. Esto reducirá los efectos negativos de la cafeína en la calidad del sueño. Una buena alternativa al café es beber hongos en el té.

Reishi, debido a sus propiedades tónicas y calmantes en el sistema nervioso, vale la pena tomar la noche, preferiblemente con té verde o cacao.
En el caso de los hongos Chaga, el tiempo de consumo no importa.

Beta-D-glucans are a type of complex sugar made from long chains of glucose molecules. They are found in nature, especially in mushrooms, and are known for their strong ability to support and regulate the immune system. Beta-D-glucans from mushrooms are considered to be more beneficial than those sourced from cereals like oats and barley, yeasts, or certain algae. This is due to their distinct structural features and the health advantages they offer. At Solve Labs, we exclusively utilise mushroom-sourced Beta-D-Glucans for these reasons. There are two key attributes that are particularly noteworthy about mushroom beta-d-glucans:

MOLECULAR STRUCTURE=HIGHER BIO ACTIVITY

Beta-D-glucans from mushrooms have a complex branching structure with β-(1,3) and β-(1,6) linkages. These is different from those found in grains, yeasts and algae. This branching pattern is believed to be responsible for their biological activity and potential health benefits.

The unique molecular structure of mushroom beta-d-glucans allows them to interact with specific receptors in the immune system and exert immunomodulatory effects.

Lion's Mane, derived from the Hericium erinaceus mushroom, contains a variety of bioactive compounds known for their numerous health benefits. Here are the primary active compounds found in Lion's Mane Mushroom:

1. Polysaccharides:
   The most notable polysaccharides in Lion's Mane are β-glucans. These compounds have significant immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. They help boost the immune system, reduce oxidative stress, and promote overall health (David & Williams, 2023).
2. Hericenones and Erinacines:
   These are unique compounds found in the fruiting bodies and mycelium of Lion's Mane. Hericenones are known to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which supports the growth and maintenance of neurons. Erinacines, primarily found in the mycelium, also promote NGF synthesis and have shown potential in protecting against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (Spelman et al., 2017).
3. Phenolic Compounds:
   Lion's Mane contains various phenolic compounds that exhibit strong antioxidant activities. These antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting cells from damage and reducing the risk of chronic diseases (Szydłowska-Tutaj et al., 2023).
4. Sterols:
   Sterols such as ergosterol and cerevisterol are found in Lion's Mane and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds also play a role in maintaining cell membrane integrity and function (Li et al., 2017).
5. Dilinoleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DLPE):
   This compound is known for its neuroprotective properties and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. DLPE aids in brain health and cognitive function, making it a key compound in supporting neurological health (Basko & Dohmen, 2023).
6. Aromatic Compounds:
   Compounds such as hericenone C and hericene A have shown potential anti-cancer activities. These compounds inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and induce apoptosis, making Lion's Mane a potential adjunct in cancer therapy (Li et al., 2015).
7. Vitamins and Minerals:
   Lion's Mane is a source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, which is crucial for nerve function and overall metabolic health (Teng et al., 2014).

1. Stimulation of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Production:
Lion's Mane contains compounds called hericenones and erinacines, which stimulate the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is crucial for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons. Studies have shown that these compounds can cross the blood-brain barrier and promote neurogenesis, enhancing cognitive functions such as learning and memory (Spelman et al., 2017).

2. Neuroprotective Effects:
Lion's Mane exhibits strong neuroprotective properties. The mushroom's polysaccharides and other bioactive compounds help protect neurons from oxidative stress and inflammation, which are major contributors to cognitive decline. These neuroprotective effects are beneficial in conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (Docherty et al., 2023).

3. Enhancement of Cognitive Performance:
Research has demonstrated that Lion's Mane supplementation can improve cognitive performance. In a study on young adults, participants who consumed Lion's Mane showed improved speed and accuracy in cognitive tasks, as well as reduced feelings of stress (Docherty et al., 2023).

4. Reduction of Anxiety and Depression Symptoms:
Lion's Mane has anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. It has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, which can indirectly improve cognitive function by enhancing mood and reducing mental fatigue. Studies on animal models have indicated significant reductions in anxiety behaviors with Lion's Mane supplementation (Rodriguez & Lippi, 2022).

5. Improvement in Memory and Learning:
Lion's Mane has been shown to enhance memory and learning abilities. Animal studies have reported that Lion's Mane supplementation leads to improvements in spatial memory and recognition, likely due to its neurogenic and neuroprotective effects (Nkodo, 2019).

Lion's Mane is generally safe for most people, but it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

Lion's Mane offers potential benefits for managing ADHD symptoms through various mechanisms. Here’s how it can help:

1. Neuroprotection and Neurogenesis:
Lion's Mane is rich in hericenones and erinacines, compounds known to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is essential for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons. Enhanced NGF levels can support brain health and cognitive functions, which are often compromised in individuals with ADHD (Spelman et al., 2017).

2. Cognitive Enhancement:
Research has shown that Lion's Mane can improve cognitive performance, including memory and concentration. In a study involving young adults, participants who took Lion's Mane showed significant improvements in cognitive tasks and reduced feelings of stress, which can indirectly benefit individuals with ADHD by enhancing focus and reducing anxiety (Docherty et al., 2023).

3. Anxiety and Depression Reduction:
Lion's Mane has been found to have anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, which are beneficial for individuals with ADHD who often experience anxiety and depression. Studies in animal models have shown that Lion's Mane supplementation reduces anxiety behaviours and improves mood, which can help alleviate some ADHD symptoms (Rodriguez & Lippi, 2022).

4. Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Properties:
The antioxidant properties of Lion's Mane help protect neurones from oxidative stress and inflammation, which are linked to cognitive decline and neurological disorders. By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, Lion's Mane supports overall brain health and function, which can be beneficial for managing ADHD symptoms (Mau et al., 2002).

5. Enhancement of Serotonin Levels:
Lion's Mane contains compounds that can influence serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and cognitive functions. Improved serotonin levels can help stabilize mood and enhance focus, providing additional support for those with ADHD (Fijałkowska et al., 2023).

The debate between the efficacy of fruiting bodies versus mycelium in mushroom supplements is ongoing. However, several studies highlight the superior benefits of fruiting bodies over mycelium. Here’s why:

1. Higher Concentration of Bioactive Compounds:
   Fruiting bodies generally contain higher concentrations of key bioactive compounds compared to mycelium. For example, triterpenoids and polysaccharides, which contribute to the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects of mushrooms, are more abundant in the fruiting bodies (Lin et al., 2013).
2. Better Antioxidant Properties:
   Studies show that the antioxidant capacity of fruiting bodies is often significantly higher than that of mycelium. This is evident in the effective concentration values needed to achieve antioxidant effects, with fruiting bodies consistently performing better in DPPH scavenging assays (Prasad et al., 2015).
3. Enhanced Bioavailability:
   The bioactive compounds present in fruiting bodies are more readily bioavailable, meaning they can be more effectively absorbed and utilised by the human body. This has been demonstrated in studies where higher levels of cordycepin and other beneficial compounds were found post-digestion in fruiting bodies compared to mycelium (Jędrejko et al., 2022).
4. Richer Nutrient Profile:
   Fruiting bodies contain a broader and richer profile of nutrients, including essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. This comprehensive nutrient composition enhances their overall health benefits compared to mycelium (Ulziijargal & Mau, 2011).
5. Higher Phenolic Content:
   Phenolic compounds, which are critical for their antioxidant activity, are found in higher concentrations in fruiting bodies. This leads to more potent antioxidant effects, protecting cells from oxidative stress and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases (Prasad et al., 2015).
6. Efficacy in Traditional Medicine:
   Fruiting bodies have a long history of use in traditional medicine, indicating their effectiveness and reliability. Mycelium, while easier to produce, does not have the same extensive historical usage, suggesting that fruiting bodies have been preferred for their superior medicinal properties over centuries (Sommano et al., 2022).
