What MycoSure™ Is
MycoSure™ combines three of the most-studied medicinal mushrooms into a single proprietary prebiotic ingredient.
- Ganoderma lucidum (Red Reishi) is one of the longest-used medicinal fungi in East Asian traditions and is well-characterized for its triterpenes and beta-glucans.
- Grifola frondosa (Maitake) is studied for its D-fraction beta-glucans and contributions to immune and metabolic balance.
- Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster) is a nutrient-dense edible mushroom carrying lovastatin-like statins, beta-glucans, and ergothioneine.
Each species is cultivated under controlled conditions and processed to retain the cell-wall polysaccharides and chitin responsible for the ingredient’s prebiotic activity.
Mechanism
MycoSure™’s prebiotic activity is driven primarily by mushroom-derived beta-1,3/1,6-glucans and chitin — fibers that pass undigested through the small intestine and are fermented by colonic microflora into short-chain fatty acids. The resulting environment favors beneficial bacterial populations and supports normal intestinal barrier function. Beta-glucans also engage with gut-associated immune cells through pattern-recognition receptors, contributing to MycoSure™’s positioning as both a microbiome and immune support ingredient.
