REINVIGORATE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND FIGHT INFLAMMATION
MUSHROOM GOLD
Chaga is a powerful mushroom. It strengthens the immune system and defends against inflammation. Chaga has the highest antioxidant capacity of any mushroom! As such, it alleviates fatigue and increases mental sharpness.
CHARMING CHAGA
“Diamond of the forest”, “nature’s gold”, “the gift from god”… just a few of the names the Chaga mushrooms goes by – and for good reason. Chaga is one of the most highly regarded mushrooms and has been used as a folk remedy in Russia, Poland and many baltic countries for hundreds of years.
Lifecykel is the global leader in mushroom tinctures. Due to its patented extraction process, along with its favourable growing mediums and healthy growing locations, Lifecykel produces the highest quality mushroom products on the market.
These factors contribute to achieving the highest rankings of the 3 benchmarks that define a high quality tincture: bio-availability, taste, and potency.
GROWING LOCATION
Lifecykel grows and extracts its own mushrooms in the USA and Byron Bay, Australia. The majority of mushroom competitors (such as Harmonic Arts and Four Sigmatic) source their mushrooms from China, and simply package the product in their country.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Mushrooms absorb water and air as they grow, so the quality of the environment around them directly impacts the mushroom.
The air and water quality in China is poor due to high pollution levels. These pollutants are absorbed into the mushrooms, so even if they are rated as organic, you are still ingesting pollutants.
Lifecykel has 2 growing and extraction labs:
1
BYRON BAY, AUSTRALIA
On the pristine coastal shores
2
WISCONSIN, USA
At the oldest organic farm in the US
Cordyceps and Reishi are grown and produced at their US farm, located in Peshtigo, Wisconsin.
Chaga is wild harvested in North America.
Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are all Australian native species, grown and produced in Byron Bay, Australia.
POTENCY
Lifecykel has engineered a patented extraction process, which removes the starch that is inevitably absorbed by the mushroom in the growing medium. Lifecykel tinctures contain only 0.018% starch– the lowest ratio on the market– making it highly potent.
The leading mushroom competitors do liquid extraction on the fruiting body and mycelium, so the mushroom has a lot of starch in it, as it is grown in rice or oats. This results in a weak tincture, with lots of unnecessary filler.
BIO-AVAILABILITY
Lifecykel’s double liquid extract ensures that both water soluble compounds (mainly polysaccharides like beta-glucans), and alcohol soluble compounds (mainly antioxidants such as triterpenoids), are present in their product and bioavailable for the body.
We believe that the liquid extracts contain a range of full spectrum compounds, acting synergistically together (similar to how a full spectrum CBD works). This is called the entourage effect. Powders do not share this advantage, as they are isolates of a single compound.
Taste
When competitors grow their mushrooms in starch-rich mediums, such as oats, straw or rice, they develop a bitter taste. This creates an unpleasant sensory experience for the consumer, discouraging consistent consumption of the tincture.
Lifecykel’s innovative growing mediums consist of liquid cultures, coffee grains, and organic cane sugar plant matter.
Lifecykel’s patented extraction process eliminates starches, so their tinctures are not bitter. This way, consumers can look forward to taking the tincture daily, which allows them to reap full cognitive and health benefits.
To enhance the entourage effect, Australian Kakadu Plum has been added to their formulas. It is a delicious ancient Australian bush fruit. Kakadu plum is famous for having the highest vitamin C content of all plants in the world (1000x more than oranges!).
Not only does the addition of the Kakadu plum give their tinctures a tasty kick, but it also gives their formulas immunity boosting properties.
POWDERS VS. TINCTURES
Powders have a lower potency than tinctures do, for the same reason you would not grind up cannabis flower to consume over time – or why fresh herbs are more potent than their dried counterparts.
When you grind cannabis flower or herbs, the surface area is increased. This allows for large amounts of oxidation to occur. Oxidation breaks down the potency of any dried consumable (mushrooms, herbs, cannabis flower, etc).
The extracts suspend the active compounds in liquid, which stops the oxidation process. Although extracts are more potent, they are less common than powders. This is because extracts are typically bitter in taste, due to the traditional extraction process.
Lifecykel’s patented extraction process and use of innovative growing mediums allows the company to create flavourful tinctures, with no bitter taste.
