Beware of imitation products

 
 

Mycopharma® rigorously controls product quality and applies industry-leading testing regimes to verify the purity of our mushroom extracts.

Mycopharma® urges manufacturers and consumers to beware of imitation products that are appearing on the market. Products with low quality standards and/or large amounts of inactive bulking ingredients may have little or no beneficial effect on consumers' health.

Conclusion:

Imitation low-quality products often contains large amounts of starch, dextrin, or other inactive bulking agents. To ensure maximum potential for health benefits - Mycopharma® encourages consumers to use a product (Mycopharma® or otherwise) containing high quality standardised bioactive mushroom extract.
