Zhu Ling Powder

Polyporus umbellatus

NEW & IMPROVED FORMULATION

Polyporus umbellatus (Zhu Ling) has been valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for more than 2,000 years and was first recorded in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing as a superior herb.

Unlike most medicinal mushrooms that form fruiting bodies above ground, Polyporus develops dense, tuber-like sclerotia beneath the soil surface — the part traditionally used for extraction. These hard, rubbery structures develop slowly over 8–12 months before reaching maturity. Historically, Polyporus was harvested from the wild in forested regions of northern China, but MycoNutri™ sources only cultivated material from Anhui Province, where it is grown in controlled, pesticide-free soil environments to ensure purity and sustainability.

Now produced using 50% high-concentration hot-water extract (8-10:1) and 50% full-spectrum hot-water extract, both derived from the sclerotium, providing naturally higher levels of beta-glucans and dietary fibre from the mushroom itself.

This updated formula follows a balanced, natural extraction philosophy, respecting the inherent harmony of the mushroom’s active compounds rather than isolating or exaggerating individual ingredients.

It reflects a holistic approach similar to the traditional TCM principle of “Jun–Chen–Zuo–Shi”, where each component supports and complements the others to achieve overall balance and efficacy.

The result is a formula that delivers broader nutritional activity and enhanced support for overall wellbeing.

MycoNutri™ Zhu Ling is produced from the sclerotium using a dual hot-water extraction process, followed by vacuum concentration, spray-drying and blending. The final extract contains more than 40% beta-glucans.

Fully water-soluble, but may dissolve slowly and initially form small clumps due to its viscous heteropolysaccharide matrix. Continuous stirring or blending into smoothies will improve dispersion.
