As a result, we felt that a capsule was probably the most friendly format for our customers to get acquainted with this category of supplement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For our capsules, we\u2019ve taken powerful extracts of seven popular mushrooms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each capsule packs in extracts of Cordyceps sinensis, lion\u2019s mane, reishi, chaga, shiitake, maitake and oyster. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll find 500mg mushroom extract in total, divided into 71.5mg of each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each extract is standardised to provide 30% polysaccharides and is 15:1 in strength, so the actual mushroom equivalent is 7.5g per capsule.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are mushroom supplements good for?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a huge amount of human studies on mushrooms and mushroom extracts for various health outcomes, but no approved health claims, which doesn\u2019t leave mush-room for manoeuvre here. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From looking at the orders of our customers who have bought this product so far, we can confirm they are also interested in adaptogens,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/products\/complete-nootropic\/bble-noot\"><b>nootropics<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/health-wellbeing\/immune-support\"><b>immune support<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, ayurveda and general health and wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019ve also added 10 micrograms of vegan-friendly vitamin D3, which contributes to normal immune function* and muscle function**<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Key Benefits of Mushroom Capsules<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Powerful &#8211; <\/b>500mg total mushroom extract in a 15:1 capsule, with a mushroom equivalent of 7.5g.<\/li>\n<li><b>Potent &#8211; <\/b>Each extract is standardised for 30% polysaccharides, the main active components of mushrooms.<\/li>\n<li><b>Variety &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seven different extracts, including Cordyceps, lion\u2019s mane, reishi, chaga, shiitake, maitake and oyster.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Immune function &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each capsule provides 200% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin D, contributing to normal immune function*.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>In the green team<\/b><b> &#8211; <\/b>V<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">egetarian and vegan friendly.
