Oyster mushrooms grow naturally worldwide in all types of forests although they are primarily found on deciduous trees. Named for their oyster-like shape and color, they are a readily cultivated mushroom that has become a popular food in Asia, Europe and now North America. Pleurotus has demonstrated immunological activity in many research publications. Of significant value is the presence of statins, which occur in sufficient quantities to be of benefit.
Our mushroom extracts are commonly used as nutraceuticals, dietary and nutritional supplements. They are also used as a component ingredient of nutritional supplements and vitamins. Mushroom extracts are also used in many food products including but not limited to meal replacement and energy bars, snack bars, fruit and vegetable based drinks, milk and creamer based beverages, sauces and seasonings, chocolates, teas, and coffee and coffee substitutes.
In 1996, CEO and Founder of Nammex, Jeff Chilton organized organic mushroom production in China. That initiative paid off and today all Nammex mushrooms are grown deep or wildcrafted in the mountains of China by our Certified Organic production partners.
US lab-grown Oyster is mycelium grown on grain. Analysis has shown that US Oyster mycelium on grain has low levels of beta-glucan and very high levels of starch. Nammex only uses 100% organic fruiting bodies which are rigorously tested and guaranteed for active compounds.
