Lion’s ManeGutian, Fujian · China
Lion’s Mane
Hot-water-extracted fruiting body from Gutian forest farms — never mycelium-on-grain. Published minimum ≥30% polysaccharides.
Certification · Trust · Transparency
Verified at the source.
Every MYKO ingredient is sourced from a named region, extracted to a published ratio, and shipped with a supplier Certificate of Analysis. This is what we collect, what we check, and what we forward when you ask.

ShilajitHimalayan Range
Shilajit
Purified Himalayan mineral resin, 60% fulvic acid. Every lot tested for heavy metals (Pb, As, Hg, Cd) below USP limits.
02 · Extraction
Real extraction, not powdered grain.
Most "mushroom supplements" aren't mostly mushroom — they're mycelium grown on grain, ground, and sold whole. MYKO uses dual-extracted fruiting body at verified ratios. Here's the standard.
01
Fruiting body, not grain
All MYKO mushroom extracts are sourced as fruiting-body extracts, not mycelium-on-grain. Fruiting body delivers the bioactive chemistry the research literature is built on.
02
Ratios on the label
7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 12:1 — extraction ratios are listed for every mushroom on every product. No vague "extract powders." Concentration is the story.
03
Dual extraction where it matters
Hot-water + ethanol on Reishi and Chaga to capture both polysaccharides and triterpenes. Single-method extraction misses half the active chemistry.
04
Shilajit-fortified delivery
Every active formula carries a 60% fulvic-acid Shilajit layer. Fulvic acid is studied for its role in mineral-complexing paired compounds and may support the absorption profile of the formula.
03 · Lab Testing
Four pillars of verification.
Every ingredient ships with a Certificate of Analysis from the supplier's accredited lab — identity, potency, purity, and fruiting-body confirmation. We collect the COAs at sourcing and pass them along on request.
Identity
Species ID confirmed at the supplier level. Every label names the exact mushroom (Latin and common) — not a related species, not "mushroom blend."
Potency
Supplier COAs report beta-glucan content by enzymatic assay and triterpenes by HPLC. Numbers on the label match the lot — not "polysaccharides" hand-waving.
Purity
Supplier lots ship with heavy-metal panels (Pb, As, Hg, Cd) plus pesticides, residual solvents, and microbial load — benchmarked to USP-level supplement limits.
100% Fruiting Body
Starch test confirms zero mycelium-on-grain filler. The actual fruiting body — never the cheap substitute that dominates the category.

03B · Quality Tiers
Three tiers of testing rigor.
"Lab tested" tells you almost nothing without context. The shilajit category specifically has three discrete tiers of testing rigor — each with a different method, a different reporting limit, and a different defensibility. The tier the supplier uses is often a stronger quality signal than the fulvic-acid percentage itself.
Tier 1 · Floor
Raw natural
Raw mountain resin tested with soil-science methods. EPA 6010 for heavy metals, with reporting limits in the 1–10 ppm range that are too coarse to defend supplement-grade claims. Humic acid in this tier can run as low as 0.22% by mass. Adequate for raw-material screening; not adequate for an NHP submission or a defensible consumer claim.
EPA 6010
Pb < 5 ppm
Humic 0.22%
Tier 2 · MYKO benchmark
Standardized supplier extract
Pharmaceutical-grade testing. USP <730> ICP-OES + ICP-MS for individual heavy metals and the Modified Larry G. Butler method (industry-standard gravimetric assay) for fulvic and humic. Method names disclosed on every COA. Reference panel: Botanic Healthcare / Advanced Laboratories Salt Lake City, lot AB071411 (2015) — fulvic 59.71%, humic 5.91%, lead 1.77 ppm, full 38-element ICP. This is the spec MYKO requires from its supplier.

Tier 3 · Ceiling
Clinical-research grade
The reference point for the human clinical literature. Natreon's PrimaVie® purified shilajit, tested by HP-TLC and HPLC for compound-class quantification. DBP chromoproteins 13.95%, fulvic with DBP core nucleus 51.12%. Heavy metals ~3× tighter than Tier 2. This is the material Das et al. 2016 used in the gold-standard 12-week RCT. MYKO doesn't sell PrimaVie; we benchmark to it.
HP-TLC + HPLC
DBP 13.95%
Fulvic+DBP 51.12%
Das 2016 RCT
Three questions to ask any shilajit brand before you buy: (1) what method produced the fulvic number — Butler or marketing? (2) is the heavy-metal panel ICP-MS at USP <730> or coarser? (3) will they send a per-lot COA with your batch code? A brand that can answer all three in writing is operating at a different rigor than a brand that says "third-party tested."
04 · Verification
What our suppliers test for.
Our suppliers run accredited-lab testing on every lot they ship to us. We collect the COAs, match them to the batch on your pouch, and forward them on request. Below is what each COA covers.
Identity
Species & sourcing
Species ID at the supplier level, traceable to a named cultivation region. The Latin and common name on the label is the lot in the bag.
Potency
Bioactive markers
Beta-glucan content by enzymatic assay (Megazyme protocol). Triterpene, cordycepin, and active-marker levels per species — reported on each lot’s COA.
Purity
Contaminant panels
Heavy metals by ICP-MS (Pb, As, Hg, Cd). Pesticides, residual solvents, and microbial load. All benchmarked against USP-level supplement limits.
