About Poria cocos

Harporia® is based on Poria cocos (Wolfiporia cocos, fu ling), a fungus that grows on the roots of pine trees. The part used is the sclerotium, a dense underground mass. It is mostly polysaccharide, largely beta-glucan, with smaller amounts of triterpenoid acids such as pachymic acid.

What the extraction method means

Harporia® is described as a solvent-free extract, which suggests a water-based process. Water extraction mainly carries the water-soluble polysaccharides; triterpenoids are extracted mostly with alcohol. Ask for the polysaccharide or beta-glucan figure with its method, and triterpenoids if specified. Mushrooms take up heavy metals such as cadmium and lead from their substrate, so ask for heavy metal results on every lot.

Claims

Sleep and calmness positioning must stay within the claims allowed in your market; claims about treating insomnia or anxiety are medical claims. Related ingredients include L-Theanine. For Harporia® documentation, WhatsApp us.

What to ask for on the certificate of analysis

• Extraction solvent (water, ethanol or both), extraction ratio and any carrier with its percentage
• Beta-glucan by an enzymatic method (for example the Megazyme method), reported separately from total polysaccharides
• Starch or alpha-glucan (high values point to grain substrate or carrier rather than mushroom)
• Species and part (Poria cocos sclerotium)
• Triterpenoids, if specified, with the method
• Loss on drying, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) and pesticide residues
• Microbiology: total plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli, Salmonella
• Batch number, manufacture and retest dates
