The Taste Advantage: Sweet, Not “Shroomy”
Ever tried a mushroom extract so bitter you had to mask it with every flavor trick in the book? We’ve been there, too. BeyondMushrooms® flips the script by naturally tasting almost sweet—no lingering earthiness, no off-notes, and no heavy flavor masking.
- No Bitter Blockers Needed: Notice our powder’s light beige color? That’s a telltale sign of ultra-low protein (<1%), meaning fewer “off-notes” and a naturally sweet taste. Skip the heavy masking and deliver a flavor your customers actually enjoy.
- More Flavor Freedom: Want to create a fruity beverage or a smooth latte? Go for it—our sweet-tasting powder won’t force you into heavy flavor masking or complicated formulations.
Highly Soluble: Effortless Mixing & Smooth Consistency
Seeing is believing—check out our demonstration video for proof. BeyondMushrooms® easily disperses in water and other liquids for uniform blending every time.
- No Clumping or Grit: Ideal for RTD beverages, powdered drink mixes, or even baking applications—just stir (or shake) and go.
- Consistent Texture: A silky smooth mouthfeel ensures your end product has the professional polish you need to impress customers.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
Seems too good to be true? Request a sample today and taste (and test) the difference for yourself. Once you experience the sweet side of mushrooms—without sacrificing solubility or stability—you’ll never settle for bitter again.
Beta Glucans: The Scientific Core of BeyondMushrooms®
Ever wondered what makes “functional mushrooms” truly functional? It’s all about beta glucans—specialized polysaccharides clinically linked to immune modulation and overall wellness. While many mushroom extracts deliver less than 10% beta glucans, BeyondMushrooms® concentrates these vital components to an industry-leading ≥70% (1,3;1,6). Backed by rigorous safety studies and AOAC-verified data, we transform “may help” claims into real, measurable benefits.

The Immune-Supporting Powerhouse
Beta glucans are the best-studied compounds in functional mushrooms, known for priming immune cells and helping maintain overall wellness.
- 1,3;1,6 Linkages: These structures are recognized as the most bioactive form of beta glucans, helping activate key immune cells.
- Science-Backed: Beta glucans are the most researched mushroom compound, meaning your product rests on solid data, not hype.

High Potency, Zero Compromise
BeyondMushrooms® isolates the “active heart” of the mushroom to achieve a remarkable ≥70% beta glucan content—far above industry norms. That means more of what your customers want—and less of what they don’t.
- Minimal Fillers: With a higher concentration of bioactives, you’re getting real functional power instead of starches and other non-beneficial compounds.
- Clinically Validated: Our concentrated extract aligns with FDA and AOAC standards, guaranteeing measurable, consistent quality.

FDA-Notified GRAS: What It Means and Why It Matters
GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) allows ingredients to be used in food and beverages without full FDA approval as food additives. But not all GRAS claims are created equal. While many mushroom extract suppliers self-affirm GRAS, BeyondMushrooms® is FDA-notified GRAS, earning the highest level of safety validation recognized by the FDA.
-
Self-Affirmed GRAS
A company decides on its own that an ingredient is safe, with no FDA review. While legal, this approach lacks official verification, making it harder to gain regulatory trust or retail acceptance.
-
FDA-Notified GRAS
A company submits safety data directly to the FDA for review. If approved, the FDA issues a "no questions" letter, confirming safety at the highest level. BeyondMushrooms® is the only mushroom extract in the world with this status, ensuring unmatched credibility and compliance.
Why BeyondMushrooms® Stands Alone
We’re the only mushroom extract in the world to earn FDA-notified GRAS status. In a market full of buzzwords and unverified claims, that sets us apart as the gold standard. It’s a distinction that translates to genuine trust—trust from consumers, trust from retailers, and trust from you, the formulator, who wants to build the best product possible.
With FDA-notified GRAS in place, you can confidently highlight functional claims—such as immune support or cognitive benefits—in foods and beverages using a Nutrition Facts panel. Rather than generic “may support wellness” statements, you can present more precise, evidence-backed language that resonates with informed consumers.
Because your ingredient has the FDA’s “no questions” notice, you minimize risk of enforcement actions or product reformulations down the road. This reduces legal uncertainties and safeguards brand integrity.
Major retailers set high standards for their suppliers and may refuse to carry products that rely solely on self-affirmed GRAS, instead favoring FDA-notified GRAS ingredients to ensure clear regulatory compliance and build consumer trust. By choosing BeyondMushrooms®, you align with these stringent requirements, enhancing your product's appeal to premium retail spaces and strengthening its credibility with buyers and store managers.
Today’s consumers are savvier than ever, reading labels, researching ingredients, and demanding transparency. With BeyondMushrooms®, you can tell a compelling quality story backed by a robust regulatory process. This elevates your brand above competitors offering ambiguous claims and uncertain safety profiles.
