Wood Ear (Auricularia Auricula-judae) Mushroom Extract Powder – Certified Organic & 30% Min. Beta-Glucan – 60 Grams – Harvest Naturals 60 Gram

What is Wood Ear Mushroom? Wood Ear Mushrooms have a
variety of benefits. Once used as a traditional form of medicine, they gained
more popularity as research on them was conducted, showing that they possessed
several health benefits. The fruiting body of the mushroom resembles that of
an ear and is typically brown and grows on the Elder tree. They possess high
quantities of nutrients and antioxidants that may assist in helping to support
heart health, stopping free radicals via antioxidants, blocking bacterial
growth, and they’re even an excellent source of copper. A crucial and active
component of mushroom extracts is a compound known as beta-glucan. The Wood
Ear mushroom is high in beta-glucans in the form of pre-biotics. These pre-
biotics lend to the creation of probiotics, which are essential for regular
digestive health and may present a significant benefit for those that suffer
from intestinal discomfort. In addition to supporting digestive health, the
probiotics created via the pre-biotics, have also shown to help the immune
system. Potential Benefits Include: Antioxidant†Supports Normal Heart

Naturals Wood Ear (Auricularia Auricula) Extract is Made: Harvest Naturals
Wood Ear extract is made from a dual extraction process. The first step of
this process is hot-water-extraction. Hot-water-extraction is the most common
and the least expensive and where many companies stop. When you find “cheap”
mushroom supplements, they are either simple-dried powders or are water
extracted only. The second step of the dual extraction process is the alcohol
extraction. Ethanol (or sometimes methanol) extraction isolates the water-
insoluble components. The alcohol extraction process is, in general, used as a
second step after hot-water extraction. Also, since alcohol alone will not
break down chitin effectively, heat must be added. Without this second step of
alcohol extraction, many of the additional beneficial ingredients cannot be
extracted. Harvest Naturals only uses the fruiting body of the mushroom in its
extracts.† (FDA Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the
