Our guarantees

From the right mushroom, to the capsule

The quality of an extract is decided long before the capsule: in which part of the mushroom is used, how it is grown, and how the actives are drawn from it.

  • Fruiting body or sclerotiumThe noble part of the mushroom, never mycelium grown on grain.
  • Organic mushroomsCertified organic crops, pesticide and heavy metal testing.
  • Extract, not powderHot-water extraction: the actives are released and assimilable.
  • Formulated in ParisMade in France in our own workshops, to GMP standards.

A mushroom for every need

Each one carries a speciality that Chinese medicine has recognised in it for centuries. Spot what concerns you: the mushroom that answers it sits right beside it, with what it brings you day to day.

Every need has its mushroom, and sometimes its formula.

The laboratory

Behind the range, a laboratory.

Since 1997, Laboratoire Calebasse has kept the Chinese pharmacopoeia alive in France. Myco is its range dedicated to medicinal mushrooms. Our pharmacists and formulators study their molecules, work their extracts, and compose their synergies. The rigour of a modern laboratory, in the service of two thousand years of knowledge.

01

Quality, without compromise

Our extracts come from the noble part of the mushroom, fruiting body or sclerotium depending on the species, never from mycelium grown on grain. Certified organic FR-BIO-24 crops, systematic testing for pesticides and heavy metals, standardised active contents in every batch.

02

Formulated in Paris

A team of mycology experts, pharmacists, Chinese medicine practitioners and naturopaths works in our Paris workshops. Batch selection, quality control, packaging in vegetable capsules. Made in France to GMP standards.

03

Formulation, through Chinese medicine

Our synergies follow the composition rules of the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Each pillar has its role, its rank, its proportion. Not an average of actives. An architecture.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between mushroom powder and mushroom extract?

Powder is simply the mushroom dried and ground. Most of the actives stay trapped in the chitin walls, barely assimilable. The extract breaks those walls by hot-water extraction and releases the actives in a form the body absorbs. The result: a guaranteed useful dose in every capsule. That is why we only offer extracts.
