Some helpful information about mushrooms:

Mushrooms consist of two primary components: the fruiting body (above ground stem and cap) and the mycelium (underground network). The fruiting body contains spores for reproduction, while the mycelium is thread-like and plays crucial roles in resource acquisition and immune response.

Sēkwl exclusively utilizes mushroom fruiting bodies in its products to ensure optimal quality, avoiding fillers and maximizing functional benefits. This approach sets us apart from many competitors who use mycelium, which often contains a significant proportion of substrate material such as oats. We utilize fruiting bodies because they contain a higher and more diverse concentration of bioactive compounds, have more scientific backing, and are free from potential substrate contamination, making them more potent and effective compared to mycelium.

Key Benefits of Functional Mushrooms:

• Immune system support: Modulation of immune cells and antineoplastic properties.
• Cardiovascular health: Enhanced circulation and protection of blood vessels.
• Digestive health: Rich source of prebiotic fiber and essential minerals.
• Energy regulation: Abundant source of B vitamins for cell metabolism.
• Brain health: Reduction of neuroinflammation and stimulation of nerve growth.
• Vitamin D production: Conversion of ergosterol to vitamin D upon UV exposure.
• Cognitive function: Potential reduction in cognitive impairment risk.
• Stress management: Adaptogenic compounds to combat various stressors including triterpenoids, polysaccharides and β-glucans, sterols, betulinic acid, cordycepin and adenosine, and hericenones and erinacines.
