The Science

panel.

We measure what's inside by independent lab assay and publish it in full — nothing rounded away, nothing blended out of view.

Research & process evidence. The results below are real third-party lab results from the extract material we've tested. They verify that material — not a future retail batch. Per-batch testing with a matching COA on every label is coming with our Reserve line.

Verified

Beta-glucans and alpha-glucans determined by mushroom-specific enzymatic assay (AOAC 995.16, adapted). Cordycepin quantified by HPLC-DAD; triterpenes / ganoderic acids by HPLC. Heavy metals by ICP-MS per USP <2232>; microbials per USP <2021>/<2022>.

Results shown are from independent, third-party laboratories (Tryp Labs, Flourish Labs) on tested extract material. The full signed report — every chromatogram and chain of custody — is available in the COA Library. Per-batch certificates on every label are coming with our Reserve line.

Questions

What people ask.

Why don't you print one number on the front of every bottle?

Because the active level genuinely varies with each harvest — cordycepin especially is source-dependent. Origin is process-verified, so we don't print a per-bottle number we can't stand behind. Per-batch testing with the verified figure on the label is coming with our Reserve line.

Are these the numbers for a product I can buy?

Not yet — we're pre-launch. The results here are research and process evidence from extract material we've tested. They prove the material and the method. Origin ships process-verified; per-batch certificates for that exact run are coming with our Reserve line.

Who runs the testing?

Independent third-party laboratories — not us. We grow and extract; they measure. The full signed report, with every chromatogram and the chain of custody, is published in the COA Library.

Why measure beta-glucans separately from polysaccharides?

Because "total polysaccharides" can include starch from grain — a common way to make a weak extract look strong. Beta-glucans are the active fraction, measured directly by enzymatic assay. Low alpha-glucans confirm there's no grain filler.

A figure says "pending." What does that mean?

It means we haven't published a verified result for that one yet. We won't print a number we can't tie to a tested batch — it lands here the moment the lab result is back.
