Mushroom supplement labels can include extract ratios and beta-glucan amounts. They are useful details to compare, but neither number alone proves a product will have a particular health effect.
Extract ratio. A ratio describes a relationship between starting material and extract as stated by the maker. Extraction methods and labeling can differ, so a larger ratio alone does not establish that one product is better or more effective.
Beta-glucans. These are polysaccharides found in mushrooms. Manufacturers may list an amount or percentage on the Supplement Facts or product page. The stated value helps describe the product; it is not a guarantee of a health outcome.
Fruiting body and mycelium. These are different parts of a mushroom's life cycle. Check the label to see what material a product contains and whether its maker provides testing details.
For the FreshCap Powder Blend, the supplier's online information and an older package image have shown different beta-glucan figures. Check the label on the bottle you receive and contact us if you need clarification before ordering.
