“Vitamin D is the commander of your immune system, but Selenium and Beta-Glucans are the soldiers. Myco Fresh provides the entire army in one 200g or 400g pack. By ensuring 100% Vitamin D intake, you allow these other ‘antibodies’ to work at their maximum efficiency.”
The Science behind the Riched Vitamins D
The Myco-Photolysis Process
Title: Bio-fortification of Agaricus bisporus via Pulsed UV-Enrichment: A Natural Solution for Vitamin D Insufficiency.
1. The Biological Precursor: Ergosterol
All Myco Fresh mushrooms naturally contain Ergosterol (a sterol found in fungal cell membranes). Structurally, Ergosterol is a pro-vitamin. In its raw, indoor-grown state, it remains dormant.
2. The Conversion Technology (The “Sun-Charge”)
Myco Fresh utilizes a proprietary UV-B Light Treatment during the post-harvest phase.
- Wavelength Precision: By exposing the mushrooms to a specific spectrum (290 nm to 315nm), we trigger a photochemical reaction.
- Molecular Transformation: The UV-B light breaks the “B-ring” of the Ergosterol molecule, converting it into Pre-vitamin D, which then thermally isomerizes into Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2).
- Result: This process increases Vitamin D levels from <5% DV to >100% DV per 100g serving, verified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) testing.
3. Priority Nutrient Hierarchy (The Myco Fresh Matrix)
Our research focuses on the synergistic effect of the “Triple-Layer” nutrient profile:
Primary Pillar: Vitamin D (D2)
- Target: 600IU – 800IU per 100gm.
- Clinical Impact: Supports calcium homeostasis and bone mineralization.
Secondary Pillar: The B-Complex Energy Co-factors
- Constituents: High bioavailability of B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), and B5 (Pantothenic Acid).
- Clinical Impact: Acts as essential co-enzymes in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, addressing the chronic fatigue often associated with D2 deficiency.
Tertiary Pillar: Immuno-Modulating Antibodies
- L-Ergothioneine: A potent cytoprotectant.
- Selenium & Beta-Glucans: These compounds enhance the cytotoxic activity of Natural Killer (NK) cells and promote antibody production.
4. Stability and Bioavailability
Data indicates that the Vitamin D and B-complex vitamins in Myco Fresh remain stable throughout the standard 7-day shelf life of our 200gm and 400gm packs when stored at 4C. Furthermore, studies suggest that Vitamin D2 from UV-irradiated mushrooms is as effective as Vitamin D3 supplements in maintaining serum 25OH D levels in humans.
