What does "Double Extract" mean?
When a product is double extracted it means that it is put through 2 separate processes in order to extract the full complement of constituents from the plant/mushroom. This process is employed typically with plants/mushrooms that have a diverse array of constituents that require different mediums of extraction. Some will extract readily into alcohol, some require a water extraction process. Medicinal mushrooms are such a being. Into the water, they give their polysaccharides which exercise our immune system by stimulating production of helper T cells. These polysaccharides (also called Gandoderic acids in the Reishi mushroom) have been shown to have anti-coagulating effects on the blood with some studies showing that they can modulate blood pressure and lower cholesterol. If you are interested in learning more about medicinal mushrooms, Paul Stamets is the man. He has some really fascinating YouTube videos!
