Organic Mushroom Extracts

Your Source for Consistent Potency in Naturally Cultivated Mushrooms.

Nammex extracts are made from certified organic mushrooms, grown naturally on substrate materials native to each particular mushroom.

No sterile laboratories, sterile air, sterile growing environment or artificial lights. No unnatural substrates made of cereal grains or rice.

Nammex mushrooms are grown in greenhouses with natural lighting and natural fresh air flow. We want our mushrooms to be grown the same way you want your food produced – on a farm tended by real people not in a laboratory managed by technicians.

Nammex Mushrooms are Cultivated as Nature Intended.

RealChaga™ – Chaga Mushroom* Extract

*Commonly referred to as a mushroom, chaga is actually a hard sterile conk that is a canker disease on birch trees. Birch trees contain precursor compounds such as the triterpenoid betulin. Chaga draws betulin and other precursors directly from the birch tree and turns them into inotodiol, trametenolic acid and betulinic acid. Inotodiol has shown the strongest activity according to research.

RealCordyceps™ – Cordyceps Mushroom Extract

A large body of research has demonstrated that Cordyceps militaris has similar active compounds and activities to Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Today, C. militaris is being cultivated on substrates that are free from any insects. Cordyceps is known for its beta-glucans and also for the compound cordycepin. Both compounds are higher in the cultivated C. militaris than the traditionally wildcrafted O. sinensis and its mycelial analogues.

RealLionsMane™ – Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) mushroom contains compounds which activate the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor, NGF, a protein responsible for boosting neurite outgrowth, as well as maintaining and organizing neurons. These compounds have been identified as erinacerins and hericinones, both of which cross the blood brain barrier and occur in greater amounts than erinacines, which are found in pure mycelium.

ErgoGold™ – Ergo. Golden Oyster Mushroom Extract

Ergothioneine, also known as Ergo, is similar in structure and function to the essential amino acids and sulfur-based antioxidants such as those found in broccoli and kale. Humans can’t produce Ergothioneine but once we absorb Ergo, our bodies accumulate and retain it. Like other antioxidants and nutrients stored for further specific use against cellular damage, the metabolism of Ergothioneine indicates some important functions; in fact some scientists argue that it should be classified as an “essential nutrient” since it has a distinct and unique transport mechanism into the cell.

RealMaitake™ – Maitake Mushroom Extract

During the 1990’s Japanese scientists led by Dr. Hiroki Nanba carried out extensive research demonstrating the activity of Maitake beta-glucans as immune system potentiators. Their research identified and commercialized a concentrated beta-glucan called D-fraction or MT-1. This fraction has a ratio of beta-glucan to protein of 7:3.

Oyster Mushroom Extract

The oyster mushroom has demonstrated immunological potentiation in many research publications. Of significant value is the presence of statins, mevinolin specifically, which occurs in sufficient quantities to be of benefit.

Phellinus Mushroom Extract

There has been a significant amount of research in Korea, most of it focused on the immunological activities of this mushroom. By all accounts, this mushroom is considered a potent immunomodulator.

Poria Mushroom* Extract

*Poria is a sclerotium, a hardened mass of mycelium that forms around the roots of trees. It is a rich source of carbohydrates with an atypically low amount of protein. It is used in many Traditional Chinese Formulas.

RealReishi™ – Reishi Mushroom Extract

Scientific research into the compounds responsible for Reishi mushroom activity began in the 1970’s in China and Japan. Scientists discovered highly active beta-(1-3)(1-6)-glucans with the ability to potentiate innate immunity by activating immune cells. Also discovered were secondary metabolites called triterpenoids which were present in significant amounts and sets Reishi apart from all the other medicinal mushrooms.

RealShiitake™ – Shiitake Mushroom Extract

In the 1970’s the Japanese mushroom industry supported extensive research into the nutritional and medicinal properties of Shiitake. The scientist Goro Chihara fractionated Shiitake polysaccharides and named the most active fraction lentinan, a pure beta-1-3-glucan.

Tremella Mushroom Extract

Tremella is a flowery shaped mushroom with a gelatinous texture. It is a rich source of carbohydrates with an atypically low amount of protein. It has been used in skin products for its moisturizing properties and is considered to have anti-aging effects on the skin. It has become very popular with cosmetic companies.
