YOHOLIFE® does not sell through an online shop. Grade, specification and availability are confirmed for each enquiry.

Polysaccharides, triterpenes and cordycepin: reference ranges

All eight extracts are specified by polysaccharide content. The reference ranges are polysaccharides 10%–50% for Reishi Mushroom Extract, Lion’s Mane Extract and Turkey Tail Extract, and polysaccharides 10%–30% for Cordyceps, Maitake, Agaricus blazei, Chaga and Shiitake extracts.

When you compare offers, a percentage is easier to judge when the analytical method and reference standard are stated. A useful specification therefore names the ingredient, the part of the mushroom used, the target constituent or extract ratio and, where supplied, the analytical method. It also includes the reference standard when it forms part of the assay, and any carrier, dispersibility or storage requirements.

Two extracts have a second marker, also as a reference range: triterpenes 1%–10% for Reishi Mushroom Extract and cordycepin 1%–5% for Cordyceps Extract. The table summarises the eight extracts; the grade is confirmed with the quotation.

Fruiting body, mycelium or sclerotium

The part of the mushroom used belongs in the specification. Six extracts come from the fruiting body: Reishi Mushroom, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Maitake, Agaricus blazei and Shiitake. For Cordyceps Extract the product page states fruiting body & mycelium, and for Chaga Extract sclerotium / fruiting body.

If your formulation calls for a particular part of the mushroom or has origin requirements, state them at the start of the enquiry so that they can be reviewed together with the product specification.

Custom specification and product development

If you need a different polysaccharide level, extract ratio or carrier, you can request a custom specification. Options include extract ratios such as 4:1, 10:1 or 20:1, target levels for compounds such as polysaccharides, water, ethanol or solvent-free extraction, carrier modification and blends of several actives. Each request is reviewed for feasibility for the selected ingredient.

In development projects, OEM and ODM services include product concept co-development, small-batch pilot extraction and testing, with private-label and bulk supply options. Development can extend from ingredients to finished formulations; the scope is set by the formulation, specification and application.

Samples, Certificate of Analysis and quotation

You can request a sample for evaluation, together with the specification and Certificate of Analysis. A specification describes the stated requirements for a grade; a COA reports results for an identified batch. Availability of the sample and documents is confirmed for each grade.

Price and order quantity depend on the ingredient, the specification and your purchasing requirements; there is no fixed online price. For your quotation, name the mushroom extract, the target specification with the analytical method, the intended application, the estimated quantity and the destination market.
