When it Comes to Medicinal Mushrooms, Consider the Source
Hundreds of veterinarians and equestrian enthusiasts got the chance to learn more about the Mushroom Matrix when the Matrix team traveled to Florida for the U.S. Dressage Federation and American Association of Equine Practitioners conventions. And what they learned is that when it comes to comparing nutritional products that make use of medicinal mushrooms, source matters as much as variety.
The source of mushrooms used in nutritional supplements is as important as which medicinal mushroom varieties are used. Mushrooms are beneficial because of their unique ability to process and draw vital nutrients from the soil and pass those nutrients along to mammals - humans included - when ingested. In fact, some important nutrients can only be passed along to humans by mushrooms.
The downside of this unique feature of the mushroom is that when drawing substances from the soil, mushrooms don't always distinguish between what's good and what's bad. This means mushrooms grown in polluted soil can pass along pollutants to those who eat them. So the first step in comparing mushroom-based nutritional supplements is to know the source of the mushrooms used and especially whether that source is U.S.-based or a foreign producer. The regulations and standards for the production of agricultural products in some countries are not nearly as strong as those in the U.S.
Along with knowing the source of mushrooms, it's wise to learn about the growing process used because where mushroom production is concerned, cleaner is better. And it's here in the growing process where the Mushroom Matrix outdoes competitors. The medicinal mushroom varieties used in the production of the Matrix line of nutritional supplements are organically-grown in the U.S. through a unique, highly hygienic process that was originally developed in Japan.
The Mushroom Matrix supplements are produced by Golden Gourmet Mushrooms of San Marcos, California, which uses a Solid State Fermentation (SSF) process to grow the mushrooms used in Matrix products. This process involves growing the medicinal mushroom species on organic whole oats in a sterile environment. This clean, healthy growing environment results in a pollutant-free mushroom full of nothing but pure, healthy goodness. And for Mushroom Matrix consumers that means a superior mushroom-based nutritional supplement.
The Mushroom Matrix line of products are 100 percent certified organic nutritional supplements. The Matrix proprietary blends contain up to ten of nature's most powerful mushroom species and are engineered to address the physiological requirements of both humans and animals in a uniquely efficient and effective manner.
