Extract from the yellow polypore in a ratio of 20:1, in a jar with a net weight of 5 g, prepared and packaged by the Toru\u0144 brand HempBio. The label on the lid provides two content declarations: 50% polysaccharides and 2.5% triterpenes. It is this second value that distinguishes reishi from the other mushrooms in this series, as triterpenes are a fraction characteristic of this species and do not appear in the descriptions of the other mushrooms in this series, which is a practical difference when composing blends. The manufacturer describes the purpose the same way as with the rest of the line: the extract is recommended for aromatherapy and is not intended for consumption. This sentence appears both on the online product card and on the print on the lid. Inside the jar, you will find a Boveda packet with 62% humidity, which maintains the powder's flowability, and a scoop for measuring small amounts of material - its capacity corresponds to 15 mg of the product, so measuring does not require a jeweler's scale. The manufacturer also directly states the storage conditions: hermetically sealed, light-resistant containers at a temperature not exceeding 18 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n
One ingredient and two content declarations - all values below come from the print on the jar lid:<\/p>\n
The two declarations on the lid refer to two completely different classes of compounds and therefore should be read separately. Polysaccharides and triterpenes do not contain each other as beta-glucans contain polysaccharides, so both numbers describe independent fractions of the material and each is read separately. When comparing extracts with each other, it is worth first checking whether the label and the manufacturer's card say the same thing, and only then comparing the numbers. The second is the extraction ratio, here 20:1, because without it, the percentage alone does not indicate from what concentrated material it comes. The list here facilitates this: it closes on one item, so both declarations refer to the same material, not a mixture of several raw materials.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer describes the intended use briefly and without exceptions: \"Product recommended for aromatherapy. Not intended for consumption.\" The print on the lid repeats this formulation and adds a hint to use a minimal amount of material. In practice:<\/p>\n
The extract is not a dietary supplement, so the manufacturer describes it by its purpose (aromatherapy) and advises using a minimal amount of material.<\/p>\n
Reishi in this form is for those who compose their own blends for aromatherapy and want to have raw material described by specific values, not just by the name of the species. The declaration of triterpenes is information that is sought consciously: it is a fraction typical for the yellow polypore and is not present in the descriptions of the other mushrooms in this series. The 5 g jar with the included scoop lasts a long time, as the manufacturer recommends using minimal amounts of material. However, it is not a product for someone looking for reishi in capsules, in powder for drinks, or in any other form intended for consumption. The manufacturer excludes consumption, and this declaration does not change depending on the buyer's intentions. In such a case, look for a product that has the appropriate declaration on the packaging. This does not apply to the aromatherapy composition - there, this raw material is exactly what the manufacturer describes it as.<\/p>\n
These are two independent classes of compounds, not one counted twice. The manufacturer lists them separately on the lid: 50% polysaccharides and 2.5% triterpenes. Triterpenes are a fraction characteristic of the polypore, so their separate declaration is information about the species, not just about the degree of concentration of the raw material.<\/p>\n
This is the ratio of the mass of the raw material to the mass of the finished extract. It describes the degree of concentration of the material and does not say anything about the content of specific compounds - this information is carried by separate percentage declarations from the label. It is worth reading both things independently, as they describe different properties of the raw material.<\/p>\n
No. HempBio declares the intended use for aromatherapy and emphasizes that the product is not intended for consumption - this statement appears both on the online card and on the print on the lid. Therefore, the packaging does not carry a daily portion or a nutritional value table: these concepts describe food, not raw material for fragrance compositions.<\/p>\n
Boveda 62% is a two-way humidity regulator - it releases moisture when there is too little in the package and absorbs it when there is too much. With powdered extract, this has practical significance: damp powder clumps together and stops being evenly measurable with the included scoop.<\/p>\n
The same brand packages several other mushroom extracts in identical jars; from this series, we have the extract from lion's mane and the extract from the birch polypore, each with its own extraction ratio and its own label declarations. The remaining plant and mushroom raw materials are gathered in the category Herbs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Na blogu opisujemy, what reishi is and how it gained its position in Asian tradition<\/a>, a osobno pokazujemy, how the yellow polypore has been studied<\/a>.<\/p>\n The manufacturer states the purpose directly: 'Product recommended for aromatherapy. Not intended for consumption.' This same information appears on the print on the lid, alongside the advice to use a minimal amount of material. The extract is not a dietary supplement, does not have a recommended daily serving or nutritional value table, and does not replace any element of the daily diet. Keep the jar closed, in a dry and dark place, out of reach of children and pets. If you are taking medications, pregnant, or breastfeeding, discuss the use of any plant and mushroom raw materials with your doctor first - the manufacturer also advises consulting when combining with medications.<\/p>\n The aromatherapy extract is not food or a dietary supplement and does not replace a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. Keep the jar out of reach of children and pets.<\/p>\n The 20:1 extract from yellow reishi in a 5 g jar is a raw material for those preparing blends for aromatherapy and want to know what they are measuring.
