Current Supplement Offerings
There is a curious phenomenon involving supplementation. Food is the gold standard as the intended means of human nutrient delivery. This is a fact that no one can deny. Yet food is not at the core of supplement delivery. There are 29,000 supplemental products. Only 336, by our count, of these products are whole food or contain food in the formula. Supplement Fractions versus Whole Food
We create new supplement fractions of our food, taking them to the lowest possible denominator. The most exciting revelations in today's nutrient research are based on Whole Food. The examination of Traditional Whole Foods, using modern research methods, provides results that are astounding.
Research shows isolated Beta Carotene is not as effective as carotenoids found in Whole Food. Whole Food research results are overwhelming.
Removing the surrounding food factors from Whole Food, to isolate a mere fraction of that food, won't yield something with greater nutritional value. Current forms of isolated supplement fractions have not proven to provide enhanced nutritive value over the Whole Food they are isolated from.
Whole Food's Superior Results
Traditional health promoting material is creating great excitement among researchers. This excitement isn't translated into formulas. This lack of interest is attributable to the fact there is no financial reward attached to the beneficial properties of whole tomatoes. You can't patent a tomato. Lycopene, an isolated fraction of a tomato, is patented and provides great financial reward. Research reveals lycopene from the whole tomato is more effective than isolated lycopene.
It's time to bring substantiated science (and common sense) to the forefront and deliver formulas that convey the extensive scientific data on the benefits of Traditional Whole Food.
Organic Purple Kculli Corn
Organic Purple Kculli Corn Extract™ is the cornerstone component in the Purple Reishi Antler™ Formula.
Organic Purple Kculli Corn is an ancient, non-GMO, heirloom strain of corn. An Exceptional Traditional Food, organically and harmonically grown in Peru. Harmonically grown crops take organics to the next level, using no petroleum products in cultivation or harvest.
Anti-Aging Anthocyanins
Purple Kculli Corn's most abundant anthocyanin is C3G (cyanidin-3-O-B-glucopyranoside). C3G has the highest ORAC Value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) of 13 tested anthocyanins. ORAC Value is also known as 'Anti-Aging Points'. High Anthocyanin foods have the greatest Anti-Aging Value.
Anthocyanins support connective tissue, membrane integrity, and reduce oxidative cell damage.[1]
Research suggests C3G Anthocyanin reduces body fat (adipose tissue) and supports carbohydrate metabolism.[1]
Optimized Biomass and MycoSynergy™
The Reishi Antler Purple Kculli Corn Optimized Biomass™ delivers the complete life cycle of the Reishi. The premier fruiting body, the Antler, and the mycelia biomass.
The Purple Kculli Corn Biomass is the Growth Medium that supports the Reishi Mushroom Mycelium. The mycelium digests and absorbs the rich nutrition supplied by the substrate and becomes an important part of the mushroom.
This is known as MycoSynergy™. The Purple Kculli Corn Biomass and the Reishi Mushroom create the perfect MycoSynergy™.
Active Growth Medium
The proper Growth Medium is essential to achieving maximum bioactivity of the phytonutrients. Our grower, Functional Fungi, found the Growth Medium must be nutritionally functional and active for maximum nutrient activity. Typically the substrates used to grow mushrooms are inert. The Purple Kculli Corn Growth Medium delivers the corns powerful antioxidant properties into the Antler and Mycelia.
The Organic Purple Kculli Corn Growth Medium provides the perfect Growth Medium for Optimal Results.
Organic Reishi Mushroom Antler
Reishi Mushroom, rare in the wild, is now commonly found in the Health Food Marketplace due to its cultivation.
Reishi Mushroom Antler, the most valuable form of Reishi Mushroom, is an extremely rare find.
Using Purple Kculli Corn as a growth medium (substrate) turns a rarely found form of Reishi Mushroom, the Antler, into a readily available and exceptional raw material. The Purple Kculli Corn growth medium produces abundant yields of Reishi Mushroom Antler in its nutritionally superior form.
The Rarest Form of Reishi
The Reishi Mushroom Antler is the rarest form of the fruiting body and is highly prized in the orient. Reishi Antler is traditionally considered the most potent form of the mushroom. Research reveals that the Antioxidant Properties of Reishi Antler display superior antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties when compared to the more common fruiting body.
The highly revered Reishi Mushroom, considered the 'Mushroom of Immortality', has been used for 5,000 years as a Tonic, Rejuvenative and Medicinal. Reishi has been called 'one of the most important elixirs in the Orient' by the late professor Hiroshi Hikino of the University of Tohoku in Japan, a premier authority on Oriental medicinal herbs.
Reishi is a Superior Tonic
Reishi is listed among the superior tonics in the distinguished Chinese Materia Medica.
Superior tonics are highly prized for their enhancement of longevity, anti-aging, rejuvenating and Chi (Qi) boosting properties. Superior tonics are used to maintain and enhance well being and for re-building health and homeostasis.
Reishi Mushroom is a Premier Tonic for the Heart, Liver, Innate Resistance, and the Immune System.[1]
Human clinical research and traditional use of Reishi mushroom supports its use as a nourishing tonic to promote cardiovascular well-being and balance. Reishi is commonly used in China for nutritional support of the liver. Researchers have found that Reishi mycelium contains ganoderic acids and ganodosterone that have hepatoprotective properties that support and protect the liver and its myriad functions.[1]
Myco Intelligence®
Reishi Antler displays the innate properties of the Myco Intelligence® needed for health challenges of the liver, heart, lungs and immune system.[1]
The Parts of the Mushroom
Most of us are familiar with what is called the fruiting body, the stem and cap that we call mushrooms. The Mycelium is the nourishing foundation of the mushroom, a latticework providing the nutrients for the entire mushroom including to the fruit bodies. Mycelium is a potent and fragile part of the mushroom, where nature has concentrated the beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides.
