Mushroom Capsules

VEGAN CAPSULES

Did You Know?

There are 1.5 million species of fungi estimated to exist on Earth, including yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. Approximately 14,000 species of mushrooms have been identified, and about 2000 of those are considered edible. However, only 14 mushrooms are recognized by Health Canada as powerful superfoods worthy of Natural Health Product status. These rare few are authorized to be offered as mushroom capsules by companies holding NPN licenses for their formulations. At Eversio, we use 9 of these very special functional mushrooms in our licensed products.

These other ingredients are required in very small amounts for the encapsulation process and are all naturally occurring, vegan, gluten free, and non-GMO minerals and nutrients that help us get our very fine extracts inside their protective capsules. All the ingredients we use in our mushroom capsules are listed on the label because we value transparency and want you to know everything you are putting in your body.

How Are Mushroom Capsules Made?

Mushroom capsules are created differently depending on the company that makes them. To create our premium, mushroom capsules, we ONLY use the whole fruiting body without any grain, growing substrate, or other fillers. Most beneficial compounds in functional mushrooms, such as Beta-Glucans, Terpenoids, Anti-oxidants, and Sterols, can be found in the highest concentrations in the whole fruiting body. Grain spawn (the mycelium grown on grain offered by many other brands) is much lower in beneficial compounds and that’s why we do not include it in any of our mushroom capsules.

For Eversio, it all starts at the “mushroom bases.” These are USDA Organic Certified farms constructed in the majestic mountains where our functional mushrooms grow in nature. Our functional mushrooms are cultivated by experts who insist on real wood (birch, beech, oak, and duanwood) as the growing substrate because it offers an end product as close to what nature provides as possible. Functional mushrooms grow on trees in nature, not on grain. To ensure maximum potency and effectiveness, each mushroom undergoes careful harvesting at full maturity, sun drying, micronization (fine grinding), and hot water or alcohol extraction.

The ground up fruiting bodies need to go through an extraction process before being made into mushroom supplement products for them to be effective. This is because our bodies can’t break down the rigid cell walls of mushrooms to access the beneficial compounds locked inside. The resulting extracts with bioavailable benefits are spray-dried to remove all moisture and then tested twice by third-party labs to verify potency and absence of heavy metals. Eversio mushroom extracts are then encapsulated into USDA Organic Certified vegan capsules and sustainably packaged in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

ABOUT THE CAPSULES

Meet the Vegan Capsules We Use to Make Our Mushroom Capsules!

Not all mushroom capsules are made the same, and the capsules we use at Eversio are REALLY different. Some brands use capsules made from gelatin (usually sourced from pork or beef), or wood cellulose. At Eversio Wellness, we are the first to use USDA Organic certified fungi-based capsules for our mushroom capsule supplements. Our capsules are made from organic pullulan which is natural, vegan, halal, and kosher. Our pullulan is produced by growing the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans on certified organic tapioca starch.

These fungi-based capsules are ideal for mushroom supplements because of the benefits they offer, such as the following:

• Free of any allergens
• Excellent Moisture Barrier
• Optimal Prevention of Oxidation
• Prolonged Shelf Life
• 100% Eco-Friendly
• 100% USDA Organic Certified
• Plant-Positive

Eversio Wellness believes the future is fungi and we apply that belief to the smallest detail of our products, including the capsules we use.
