The world's only FDA-notified GRAS organic mushroom extracts.

FDA-notified GRAS means the supplier filed a complete safety dossier with the FDA, the FDA reviewed it, and the FDA issued a public "No Questions" letter. The notice and supporting science are listed on the FDA's GRAS Notice Inventory.

For your brand, that translates to three things: legal eligibility for use as an ingredient on a Nutrition Facts panel in food and beverage, a stronger position with retail buyers who increasingly require FDA-notified status, and reduced risk if the FDA tightens its rules around self-affirmed GRAS, which is currently under review.

Beta glucans, specifically the 1,3;1,6 D-glucan structure, are the polysaccharides shown in the literature to interact with immune receptors like dectin-1 and complement receptor 3. They are what make functional mushrooms functional.

Many products on the market label themselves as "mushroom extracts" but contain less than 15 percent actual beta glucan. The remainder is often grain starch, alpha glucans, or other polysaccharides that look the same on a basic test but do not deliver the same biological response. Megazyme's AOAC-aligned method separates true beta glucans from total polysaccharides, and BeyondMushrooms verifies every batch using this method.

Every published clinical trial behind BeyondMushrooms used 200 mg per day. The Reishi study ran for 84 days in 135 healthy adults, the Lion's Mane study ran for 12 weeks in 88 community-dwelling older adults, and the Antrodia study ran for 14 days in 68 active adults.

This single low dose lets you fit the entire clinical claim into one capsule, one gummy, or one cup of coffee, which is rarely possible with generic mushroom extracts that typically require 1 to 2 grams per day.

Yes. Every BeyondMushrooms extract is USDA Organic certified and U.S. grown. Cultivation is performed in controlled environments designed to minimize environmental contamination, and the ultrasonic extraction process is performed without solvents or processing aids that would compromise organic eligibility.

Yes, and this is one of the most common formats we see. BeyondMushrooms is fully water-soluble, naturally sweet rather than earthy, and stable up to 503 degrees Fahrenheit. That means the extract can be roasted, brewed, spray-dried, or pasteurized without losing functional content. The clear, sediment-free dispersion also makes it suitable for cold brew RTDs and instant coffee powders.

Yes. The 200 mg clinical dose fits inside a single gummy without the gritty mouthfeel that 1 to 2 gram doses of generic extract create. The fully soluble powder produces clean, bright-colored gummies without mottling, and the naturally sweet flavor profile reduces the masking burden on your flavor system.

A single-gummy serving size also reduces sugar and pectin per serving, lowers packaging cost, and simplifies the directions of use on the label.

BeyondMushrooms uses ultrasonic extraction to concentrate the bioactive beta glucans regardless of source biomass, with the goal of delivering greater than 70 percent beta glucans on a verified basis. The fruiting body versus mycelium debate often misses the real issue, which is grain starch contamination from the substrate. Because the ultrasonic process is designed to remove starch and concentrate the active glucan structures, the resulting extract avoids the high-starch profile common to mycelium-on-grain products on the market.

BeyondMushrooms performs across:

• Functional coffee, instant, ground, and RTD cold brew
• Beverage stick packs and drink mixes
• Single-gummy and chew formats
• Capsules and tablets, including single-ingredient and stack SKUs
• Bars, baked goods, and other heat-processed snacks
• Powder and liquid creamers
• Pre-workout, post-workout, and recovery formulas
• Functional waters and electrolyte beverages

Each sample ships with a Certificate of Analysis showing the verified beta glucan content for that batch. Upon request, we also provide the FDA GRAS notification documentation, the published clinical study citations, the technical specification sheet, and applicable allergen, organic, and origin documents. Samples and most documents ship from our domestic warehouse in San Diego, California.

The clinical evidence supports a different claim direction for each mushroom. Lion's Mane supports cognitive function and quality-of-life claims at 200 mg per day. Reishi supports immune health and immune cell activity claims. Antrodia supports recovery, mood, and mucosal immune claims under physical stress. Cordyceps is positioned for natural energy and vitality.

All claims should be reviewed against your final product's full ingredient deck, label, and category-specific regulations. Our team will share the relevant clinical data and let you and your regulatory consultant pick the language that fits.
