Are you looking for a vital mushroom associated with balance, lightness, and inner peace?

Discover Poria in a premium concentrated form. Poria Premium Organic contains a dual extract of the sclerotium of Poria cocos (Poria cocos, Wolfiporia extensa), a traditional vital mushroom known in Chinese medicine as Fu Ling.

Poria may not be as well-known as Reishi or Shiitake, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it has a history of use spanning over 2,000 years. It appears in ancient Chinese herbals and remains one of the traditionally valued mushrooms associated with harmonisation of the centre, working with so-called dampness, and calming the Shen spirit.

From a TCM perspective, Poria is primarily associated with the Heart, Spleen, Kidneys, Lungs, and Small Intestine. Its nature is often described as balanced, and its taste as sweet and bland. Traditionally, it relates to themes of fluid balance, lightness of body, Spleen Qi, and inner peace.

Poria Premium Organic is produced using a dual extraction method. Water extraction primarily focuses on polysaccharides, including beta-glucans, while alcohol extraction helps to obtain other naturally occurring bioactive substances, such as triterpenoids and sterols. The resulting broad-spectrum extract respects the natural composition of the mushroom, but in a more concentrated form and with higher bioavailability. The product contains no alcohol residues.

The extract is standardised to a high content of polysaccharides and beta-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucans. It contains ≥ 30% beta-glucans, and one recommended daily dose provides 270 mg of beta-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucans.

The practical form of vegan capsules can be easily incorporated into your daily routine at home, at work, or on the go. The capsules are plant-based and are smaller size 1 for easier swallowing.

Discover Poria in premium strength. A concentrated dual extract for all who want to incorporate a traditional vital mushroom associated with balance, lightness, and inner peace into their routine.

Laboratory-verified quality and transparency

We believe that trust begins with openness. That's why every batch of mushroom extracts used undergoes thorough laboratory testing to verify quality, purity, safety, and the content of important bioactive substances. Controls include microbiological safety, heavy metal content, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and declared active substances, including beta-glucans. The quality of the product is not only created during the final inspection. The entire process is monitored, from organic cultivation through raw material processing and extraction to laboratory control of individual batches. Production takes place in systems operating according to standardised procedures and GMP principles.

Poria, Fu Ling for balance, lightness, and a calm mind

Poria, or Poria cocos (Poria cocos, Wolfiporia extensa), is a wood-decaying fungus from the Polyporaceae family. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as Fu Ling, in Japanese as Bukuryo, and in English sources, you may also encounter the name Hoelen.

Unlike many well-known vital mushrooms, Poria is characterised by its underground sclerotium. This is a compact formation that can resemble a coconut – hence the Czech name ‚pornatka kokosová‘ (coconut Poria). Sclerotia can reach considerable sizes in nature, and the mushroom is traditionally associated primarily with pine trees.

Poria originates from East and Southeast Asia and has been used in China for over 2,000 years. It is also mentioned in traditional Chinese herbals and is one of the well-known raw materials of classical Chinese medicine. The historical and TCM contexts of Poria are described in detail in the provided expert material.

From a TCM perspective, Fu Ling is associated with dispelling so-called dampness, strengthening Spleen Qi, and calming the Shen spirit. Its balanced nature is traditionally valued precisely in the context of long-term care for inner harmony. In the traditional understanding, Poria thus differs from ‚performance-oriented‘ vital mushrooms. It is associated more with themes of balance, lightness, a calm mind, and a stable centre.

Poria and expert studies

Poria is currently the subject of extensive expert interest. Research focuses primarily on substances naturally occurring in the sclerotium of Poria cocos, especially polysaccharides, beta-(1→3) and beta-(1→6)-glucans, triterpenoids, sterols, and other bioactive components.

Characteristic substances described in the scientific literature include, for example, pachymic acid, tumulosic acid, eburicoic acid, trametenolic acid, and poric acids. The expert background also mentions pachyman and other polysaccharide fractions.

Published studies and expert reviews address Poria in connection with topics such as biological activity of polysaccharides and triterpenoids, antioxidant activity, immunological processes, metabolic mechanisms, and the nervous system.

These findings are part of ongoing scientific research and should not be understood as approved health claims regarding the effects of this food supplement.

Why capsules

Poria was used in various forms in traditional approaches and was part of decoctions or complex mixtures. However, modern lifestyles often require more practical solutions.

Plant-based capsules allow for precise and easy dosing without measuring powder or preparing a decoction. You can easily incorporate them into your daily routine and have them on hand at home, at work, or on the go.

We deliberately chose smaller size 1 capsules to make them easier to swallow, even for people who find larger capsules uncomfortable.

What is a dual extract

Dual extracts from the Premium range are created by combining water and alcohol extraction, which allows for a broader spectrum of naturally occurring bioactive substances found in mushrooms. While water extraction primarily focuses on polysaccharides, including beta-glucans, alcohol extraction releases other valuable components such as triterpenoids, sterols, and other bioactive compounds.

By combining these two methods, a comprehensive extract is created that respects the natural composition of the mushroom, but in a more concentrated form with a higher proportion of health-beneficial substances and better bioavailability. Our premium range of extracts is produced in certified organic quality, without the use of synthetic additives and without any unnecessary excipients. We emphasise purity, the origin of raw materials, and gentle processing to preserve the natural quality of this traditionally used mushroom.

This product is a high-quality food supplement from natural sources, with an emphasis on purity, origin, and precise processing. The product contains no alcohol residues.
