Mushrooms: how to choose
When shopping for mushrooms, start by comparing products on their actual label details rather than choosing on name or pack design alone. Botanical products are available as capsules, powders, liquids and concentrated extracts. Two products with the same plant name can still differ in the plant part used, extract strength and standardisation.
Useful points to compare include:
- Plant and extract: Check the plant part, extract ratio and any standardised compounds listed on the label.
- Serving size: Compare the amount per serving and the number of servings in the pack.
- Formula type: Choose between a single botanical and a multi-ingredient blend depending on your preference.
Vitamin360 lets you compare mushrooms from different brands in one place. Always read the product description, ingredients, allergen information and directions before purchase, and choose a product that matches your dietary preferences and intended use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, ask an appropriate healthcare professional before using a new supplement.
