Shroom Capsules.  If you’ve investigated consuming more mushrooms for good health, you’ve probably heard about medicinal mushroom extracts and powders.

Unlike many mushroom powders you’ll find in grocery stores, these capsules aren’t for adding flavor to food.

Sure, you could use your mushroom powders in plenty of delicious recipes.

But capsules are a convenient alternative- no mess, no fuss no prep- just mushroom power on-the-go!

Mushroom capsules (nope, not magic mushrooms) are a seamless way to reap all the amazing benefits of mushrooms.

Buy Shroom Capsules

Again, it depends on who you buy your mushroom capsules from.

Some brands will use cheap capsules made from any type of gelatin available — could be beef, pork, or vegetable-based.

Best bet is to look for products with capsules made from pullulan.

Pullulan is a substance made from fermented tapioca. It’s gluten-free, starch-free, and can be found in organic and non-GMO varieties.

Not only that, but pullulan is naturally vegan, halal, and kosher.

Pullulan also helps keep your mushroom extract safe from degrading under sunlight and oxygen.

WHAT ARE MUSHROOM CAPSULES MADE FROM?

Not all mushroom powders and capsules are the same.

If you are looking to actually get the benefits of mushrooms, you need to choose extracts made from the whole fruiting body.

Cheaper varieties are made from a different part of the mushroom called mycelium, which grows in rice grain- so the final product only contains trace amounts of the substances you want, and high levels of starch.

In high-quality mushroom powders, the raw mushrooms are carefully dried and extracted with hot water, then turned into a fine powder through a process called “spray drying”. The end result is a potent mushroom powder that contains all the beneficial compounds you’d expect in a mushroom supplement.
