The Smart Mushroom
In today’s fast-paced society, modern lifestyles are expected to keep us all busy and on-the-go. The stress of such a lifestyle is hard on the body. Your body demands proper nutrition, exercise, recreation, and hydration. However, if you are like most people, you may not be giving your body all that it needs every day to maintain a healthy balance.
Enriched products can supply the body with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that promote healthy cells, boost energy or immunity, and protect it against stress. When a body is healthy it can age stronger, heal faster, and work harder in order to provide a more active and enjoyable life.
Enriching your diet is a healthy practice for everyone, but there are certain times your body may need more nutrients than usual — whether you’re preparing to have a baby, adopting a new diet, recovering from an injury, or beginning a strength-training program. Whatever your reason, enriching your diet with healthy nutrients couldn’t be easier.
Ganoderma + More
Ganoderma lucidum, also known as Reishi or Lingzhi, has a long history in Asian cultures for its health benefits. Today it is categorized as an herbal mushroom, alongside others like Shiitake, Maitake, and Cordyceps. Ganoderma lucidum, though, earned itself the title “King of Herbs” for its wealth of nutrients and its powerful protection.
Modern research has identified more than 150 antioxidants within one serving of Ganoderma lucidum. It also contains more than 200 plant-based nutrients — strong bioactive compounds like beta-glucans, the mushroom’s organic polysaccharides, along with unique proteins, important enzymes, vitamins and more.
Ganoderma’s nutritious fruiting body and mycelium have shown to have a positive impact on health. Regularly and proactively ingesting Ganoderma lucidum can help achieve positive balance within the body — allowing for optimum performance and preparing the body to deal with stress.
The Gano Excel Way
The secret to powerful Ganoderma lucidum is more than simple technology. It is a combination of years of applying agronomic experience, using quality ingredients, maintaining careful discipline, and applying scientific principles. We start by creating the ideal conditions for Ganoderma lucidum growth, starting with the naturally warm, humid climate of Malaysia.
We prepare a soil medium made from organic materials such as rice husks and soybean husks and germinate Ganoderma using a scientific process that allows for consistent potency and quality. We then carefully plant the Smart Mushroom and allow it to grow above the ground to prevent contamination. Once matured, the Mushroom is harvested, washed, boiled to extract its essential compounds, then dehydrated into a powder using a spray drying process — each step closely monitored for quality control.
Why Extract?
Many mushrooms are used in everyday cooking — why not the Smart Mushroom?
- Ganoderma has a strong, bitter, woody taste that needs to be balanced out by other strong flavors like coffee and chocolate.
- Potency: slicing up one mushroom will not have noticeable effects — you need a greater amount to do the same job as 1 serving of extract.
Ganoderma is edible raw — it is completely non-toxic. However, processing it into a concentrated extract makes it easier and tastier to use.
Why not use Ganoderma from the wild?
Ganoderma is extremely rare to find in the wild, and due to nature's complexity it is exposed to all sorts of variables that produce mushrooms of many different sizes and strengths, which may also contain toxins from its environment. Our process simulates a natural environment to control for purity and potency and produce a more consistently premium product.
Why not use a hands-off farming process?
Providing a safe, friendly environment for the Smart Mushroom to grow is only the first step. Helping the Ganoderma grow optimally requires agronomic science and discipline.
Won't interventions harm the Ganoderma?
Interventions can be helpful or harmful. Gano Excel's extraction process is based on decades of research into Ganoderma cultivation that maximizes the health benefit while keeping the product pure and safe from contaminants.
The 3 Golden Goals
Every step of our process is designed around three non-negotiable standards.
