Analytical quality – every batch certified

Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization prior to shipment. The most important parameters are:

- β-glucans: At least 42% – each batch is measured individually; no batch falls below this level. [View analysis]
- Polysaccharides (total glucan): 67.9% [View analysis]
- α-glucans: [View analysis]
- Amino acid profile: Generated and documented on a batch-specific basis [View analysis]
- Ergosterol: Fungal-specific sterol, vitamin D precursor—serves as a quality indicator for the raw material [View analysis]
- Environmental analysis: Heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbiological parameters – evaluated by the GBA (Society for Bioanalytics) [View analysis]

What is the Huaier mushroom?

Huaier (Chinese: 槐耳) is the traditional name for Trametes robiniophila Murrill, a wood-decaying polypore fungus of the family Polyporaceae. The fungus grows primarily on black locust and other deciduous trees in warm to subtropical regions, where it causes white rot. It has been the focus of scientific research in natural product chemistry for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Huaier Mushroom Extract

What is the Huaier mushroom?

Huaier is the traditional Chinese name for the fungus Trametes robiniophila Murrill. It belongs to the Polyporaceae family and grows primarily on black locust trees and other deciduous trees. It has been the subject of scientific research in the field of natural product chemistry for decades.

What is the difference between the Huaier mushroom and Trametes robiniophila?

Huaier is the common Chinese trade name. Its scientific name is Trametes robiniophila Murrill. Other taxonomic synonyms include Vanderbylia robiniophila, Polyporus robiniophilus, and Perenniporia robiniophila.

What is the β-glucan content of this extract?

At least 42%. Each batch is analyzed individually—no batch that falls below this value is shipped. The batch-specific analysis data is available above.

What are β-glucans?

β-glucans are plant- and fungus-derived polysaccharides that are the subject of intensive research in natural product chemistry. In fungal extracts, they are considered a key group of marker compounds for analytical quality assessment.

Does this product contain maltodextrin?

Yes, every Huaier extract requires maltodextrin as a carrier to stabilize it against oxidative processes.

Why does the extract contain maltodextrin in the first place?

It is not possible to produce a stable Huaier extract powder without a carrier. Maltodextrin is the most commonly used and best-tolerated carrier. The market standard, defined by Gaitianli (Huaier Keli—used in nearly all studies), contains 25.1% maltodextrin.

Who is this product intended for?

This product is intended for scientific, analytical, and research purposes. It is a high-purity aqueous extract backed by the most comprehensive analytical data available on the market.

How should the product be stored?

Store in a dry place, protected from light, and at room temperature. The powder is hygroscopic and must not be frozen.

GHS Classification (GHS/CLP) – MycoPure® Huaier Extract (Powder)

The product is not classified as hazardous under GHS/CLP (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008) and does not require labeling; dust may cause mechanical irritation.
