Instead of a firm cap, this wood-growing fungus forms a thin, ear-shaped structure that is gelatinous when fresh. This unique consistency is due, among other things, to a complex matrix of water-soluble polysaccharides that characterizes the fruiting body and distinguishes Auricularia from many other medicinal mushrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe scientific focus is primarily on the complex polysaccharide fractions of the mushroom. These are not a single substance, but rather various long-chain carbohydrate structures with varying composition and molecular size. Among them are the characteristic beta-glucans of the fungal cell wall. The analytically determined beta-glucan content is therefore considered an important quality marker and complements the total polysaccharide content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eFor QIDOSHA Auricularia extract, only the entire fruiting body, including the stem bases, is used. The shell-broken process mechanically breaks down the mushroom structure to facilitate the subsequent extraction. The water-soluble polysaccharide fractions are then extracted using only water, following traditional methods. This extraction process is therefore carried out without the use of any organic extraction agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe extract is standardized to 50% polysaccharides and at least 20% beta-glucans. Each capsule provides 500 mg of Auricularia extract, corresponding to 250 mg of polysaccharides and at least 100 mg of beta-glucans.
