They are also concerned about providing mushroom products in which the constituents are in a bioavailable form. The main constituents of mushrooms, the 1,3-Beta Glucans, are tightly bound to the cell walls and have a low degree of bioavailability in raw mushrooms. To overcome this and increase the bioavailability of the constituents, all of their mushrooms undergo a steam activation process that breaks down the cell walls and frees the 1,3-Beta Glucans from the chitin.USDA Certified Organic: The organically grown mushrooms for this product are carefully grown, harvested, and processed at a certified organic farm and laboratory. To verify quality, each batch is sent to a third party analytical laboratory for testing. Made by Mushroom Harvest, Inc. in Ohio, U.S.A.  Bai Hua Rong is the Pin Yin name. Inonotus Obliquus is the botanical name.Chaga mushrooms contain a wide variety of constituents from beta-glucans to triterpenes and betulin. This full spectrum chaga mushroom powder has a minimum beta glucan (polysaccharide) content of 15%.
