The Agarikon mushroom has been used as a medicinal herb for centuries. The ancient Greek physician Diocorides described it as “the elixir of life”.
Agarikon is for the most part has disappeared in Europe, but may be found in the old growth forests. Luckily it still can be found in the pacific northwest of the United States and can be cultivated commercially. If you are out walking in the woods some time, keep an eye out for a large beehive shaped mushroom.
Myriad Mycology mushroom powder is made from finely ground mushroom mycelium with a consistency similar to baking flour. They are cultivated in a sterile laboratory from hand picked and vigorous strains of the noted medicinal species. Through rigorous quality control, a standardized level of growth is achieved before the species are processed into a bio-available form for consumption. Myriad Mycology makes all of their powders with proprietary steam extract methodologies to ensure a high degree of water soluble constituents, such as polysaccharides, are bioavailable in the end product. Agarikon can be use it in several different ways. The easiest is added it to your drink. Or some people make your own money saving capsules. Either way you take Agarikon, is effective.
