MycoNutri Zhu Ling (Polyporus umbellatus) Capsules (60 Vegan Caps)

MycoNutri Zhu Ling (Polyporus umbellatus) Capsules (60 Vegan Caps)

Experience the holistic, balancing power of Polyporus umbellatus, traditionally known as Zhu Ling. First recorded in the ancient Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing as a superior herb, Zhu Ling has been highly valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 2,000 years. Formulated under the expert guidance of world-renowned mycologist, teacher, and author Martin Powell, this newly improved, practitioner-grade formulation reflects the traditional TCM principle of "Jun–Chen–Zuo–Shi," where each component supports and complements the others.

Manufactured in the UK to strict GMP standards, this advanced formula respects the inherent harmony of the mushroom’s active compounds rather than aggressively isolating individual ingredients. This delivers broader nutritional activity and enhanced support for your overall wellbeing.

Sustainable Underground Cultivation

Unlike most medicinal mushrooms that form fruiting bodies above ground, Polyporus forms dense, tuber-like sclerotia beneath the soil surface. Because wild Polyporus has historically been overharvested, MycoNutri exclusively sources cultivated material from Anhui Province, China.

• Mimicking Nature: Cultivated using a buried hardwood sawdust and soil-based substrate in highly controlled, pesticide-free environments.
• Patient Maturation: The hard, rubbery sclerotia are left undisturbed underground to develop slowly over 8 to 12 months, drawing rich nutrients from the substrate to form their unique composition.
• Peak Harvest: Harvest occurs only once annually when the underground sclerotia reach full density and maximum resilience.

Advanced 50/50 Extraction Philosophy

Because the sclerotia are incredibly tough, extraction requires an extended hot-water decoction under controlled pressure to properly release the bioactive polysaccharides and sterols. To capture the absolute best of both worlds, this new formula combines two precise extracts into each 500mg capsule:

• 50% Concentrated Extract (8-10:1): Hot-water extracted twice, then filtered and vacuum-concentrated to preserve molecular integrity.
• 50% Full-Spectrum Extract: A hot-water extract combined with a proportion of finely milled mushroom fiber to retain the insoluble beta-glucans and the mushroom's natural matrix.

The result is a clean, fully soluble powder free from maltodextrin and carriers. While our minimum accepted specification guarantees >40% total beta-glucans, recent independent laboratory analysis by ADACT Medical Ltd has confirmed an exceptional beta-glucan concentration of 58.48%
