The extract is produced from the shredded mushroom and contains a higher concentration of certain water-soluble components or makes these available to the human body.
Unlike in plants, the cell walls of mushrooms are comprised of chitin.
As the polysaccharides are bound in the chitin structure and can only partially be released during digestion, the absorption of these and other important components is reduced.
Using the special extraction procedure with hot water, the important vital substances are dissolved and it is possible for the body to absorb the extract.
