Description
What is Wolporia Extensa Mushroom?
Wolfiporia extensa is a fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is a wood-decay fungus but has a subterranean growth habit. It is notable in the development of a large, long-lasting underground sclerotium that resembles a small coconut. This sclerotium called "(Chinese) Tuckahoe" or fu-ling(茯苓, pīnyīn: fúlíng), is not the same as the true tuckahoe used as Indian bread by Native Americans, which is the arrow arum, Peltandra virginica, a flowering tuberous plant in the arum family. W. extensa is also used extensively as a medicinal mushroom in Chinese medicine. Indications for use in the traditional Chinese medicine include promoting urination, to invigorate the spleen function (i.e., digestive function), and to calm the mind.
Potential Benefits Include:
- Immune System Protective†
- Gastrointestinal & Digestive Support†

How Does Poria Mushroom Powder Work?
While the mechanics of the mushroom aren't entirely known, Wolfporia may improve kidney function, reduce serum cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and improve cognition where it concerns memory.
How Harvest Naturals Poria Extract is Made:
Our Poria extract is made from a dual extraction process. The first step of this process is hot-water-extraction. Hot-water-extraction is the most common and the least expensive and where many companies stop. When you find "cheap" mushroom supplements, they are either simple-dried powders or are water extracted only. The second step of the dual extraction process is the alcohol extraction. Ethanol (or sometimes methanol) extraction isolates the water-insoluble components. The alcohol extraction process is, in general, used as a second step after hot-water extraction. Also, since alcohol alone will not break down chitin effectively, heat must be added. Without this second step of alcohol extraction, many of the additional beneficial ingredients cannot be extracted. Harvest Naturals only uses the fruiting body of the mushroom in its extracts.
Consider This:
Try combining our Poria Mushroom Extract Powder with our Adrafinil Powder or even our Alpha-GPC 50% Powder for effective performance and recovery.
