Extract, powder or elixir

Form Examples What to look for
Standardised extract in capsules Reishi, chaga, turkey tail with 30% beta-glucans; OstroVit Chaga with 40% polysaccharides Percentage of beta-glucans or polysaccharides on the label
Fruiting body or spore powder 7Nutrition Reishi 150 g, Primed Cordyceps powder, Primed Reishi broken spore Added to drinks; "broken spore" means cracked reishi spores
Elixir Russian chaga ChagaCell with zinc Liquid form, easy to dose
Mushroom blends 3 imperial mushrooms, 5 elements, OstroVit Quatro Several species in one capsule or powder

An extract is more concentrated than plain powder, so compare products by the amount of extract and the percentage of beta-glucans per daily dose, not just by pack weight.

Who should be careful

  • people taking anticoagulants (especially with reishi)
  • people on treatment for blood sugar or blood pressure
  • people with autoimmune diseases or after a transplant
  • pregnant and breastfeeding women and children – insufficient data

Pharmacist's advice

If you are just starting, choose one mushroom as a standardised extract and use it for several weeks as directed before moving on to blends.

Chaga contains oxalates, so caution is needed if you are prone to kidney stones. If you take medicines for a chronic condition, ask a pharmacist.
