Understanding the Ingredient
What Is HepaAegis®?
HepaAegis® is derived from Antrodia cinnamomea, a rare medicinal mushroom native to Taiwan. Traditionally used in indigenous medicine for liver-related conditions, this potent fungus has gained significant scientific attention for its remarkable bioactive compounds.
Most liver-health ingredients are single-compound solutions. HepaAegis® is different — standardised to guarantee both triterpenoids and polysaccharides in a single, traceable ingredient built for brands pursuing true differentiation.
Did You Know?
Antrodia cinnamomea grows exclusively on the inner heartwood of Cinnamomum kanehirae, a species of cinnamon tree endemic to Taiwan at elevations above 2,000 metres.
Extraction Methods
Hot-Water vs. Alcohol Extraction
HepaAegis® combines both extraction methods to maximise the bioavailability of key compounds.
Traditional Method
Hot-Water Extraction
Enhanced polysaccharide yield through a traditional decoction method using a gentle heat-based process.
Concentrated Method
Alcohol Extraction
Concentrated triterpenes via a fast solvent-based process, yielding higher-purity compounds.
Our unique dual-extraction formula combines hot-water and alcohol extracts to deliver a complete bioactive spectrum — simultaneously standardised in polysaccharides and triterpenoids, rather than choosing one method over the other.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended dosage?
The recommended dosage for HepaAegis® is 200–500 mg per day in finished formulations, depending on the product format and intended use. We typically recommend starting at 300 mg daily and adjusting based on product positioning and target audience. Always consult with a formulator for specific application guidance.
Are there any known side effects?
Antrodia cinnamomea has been used traditionally for centuries with a strong safety profile. In clinical studies, no significant adverse effects have been reported at recommended dosages. As with all botanical extracts, we recommend conducting stability testing and allergen assessments for your specific formulation.
How are your extracts standardized?
HepaAegis® is standardised using HPLC analysis to ensure consistent levels of triterpenoids and polysaccharides across every batch. Our dual-extraction process yields a full-spectrum extract with verified bioactive-compound profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available on request for every production lot.
What formulations work best with HepaAegis®?
HepaAegis® is highly versatile and works well in capsules, tablets, functional beverages, and powdered drink mixes. For optimal bioavailability, we recommend combining with lipid-based carriers or encapsulation technologies. Our technical team can provide formulation guidance tailored to your delivery system.
