What is the difference between dried mushroom and extract?

Both fruiting bodies and mushroom extracts have their advantages and disadvantages. Fruit bodies contain a wide range of biologically active substances, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other compounds that may have health benefits. However, fruiting bodies also contain some inactive or even harmful substances, such as heavy metals, chitin and other compounds.

Mushroom extracts, on the other hand, contain more concentrated amounts of biologically active substances than fruiting bodies. This means that they need to be taken in smaller amounts to get the same health benefits. Additionally, mushroom extracts often go through a purification process that removes inactive or harmful substances.

So, what are the benefits of using mushroom extracts instead of fruiting bodies?

  • Greater bioavailability: Mushroom extracts have greater bioavailability than the fruiting bodies. This means that the body can better absorb and use the active substances contained in the extracts.
  • More stable concentrations: The concentration of biologically active substances in mushroom extracts is more stable than in fruiting bodies. This means that you will receive more permanent health benefits from taking mushroom extracts.
  • Ease of use: Mushroom extracts can be taken in the form of capsules. This makes them more convenient to eat than the fruiting bodies, which must be cooked, dried or eaten raw.
  • The amount of nutrients: in the extracts, the nutrients from the mushrooms are brought to a balanced daily rate.

Of course, mushroom extracts will be more expensive than fruiting bodies. This is because the extraction takes place in a laboratory, where various processes and methods are used to extract polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and, in the case of Hericium erinaceus, also erinacines. This requires significant additional materials and time, as well as using a much larger amount of mushroom material.

Overall, mushroom extracts may be a better choice for people who want to get the maximum health benefits from eating mushrooms. However, it is important to choose quality mushroom extracts that are made from proven sources.
