At Annmarie Skin Care, we’re passionate about transparency and sustainability in everything we do, especially when it comes to the ingredients we use. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce you to a brand that shares our values—Real Mushrooms, which we incorporate into our formulas when creating our products.
We have admired Real Mushrooms’ commitment to purity and excellence for over eight years, and it’s time we shared our discovery with you. In our quest to find the highest quality tremella for our Probiotic Serum with Tremella, along with a few other hydrating powerhouse products, we chose to source our tremella from Nammex (an organic mushroom extract supplier founded by the father of Real Mushrooms’ founder, Skye) after learning more about the mushroom industry.
What we discovered about the mushroom industry might surprise you as most “mushrooms” in the supplement market are not even mushrooms.
Mushroom Supplements May Not Be Mushrooms
Many products claim to contain mushrooms but contain incredibly high quantities of mycelium grown on grains; mycelium is the root system of the mushroom and not the actual mushroom. Other mushroom products can be misleading since you could only get a small amount of the actual mushroom and not provide the benefits you seek. Real Mushrooms provides pure mushroom extracts (only the fruiting body) without fillers or carriers.
So many top mushroom brands and products in health food and grocery stores are not using the fruiting body. This distinction is crucial because grain fillers can dilute the effectiveness of the mushrooms’ active compounds, like beta-glucans.
Real Mushrooms has conducted studies to test whole mushrooms and mushroom supplements for the active compounds primarily found in these fungi to get a baseline of what you should expect from a mushroom supplement. They found that whole mushrooms are high in beta-glucans (a primary active compound with extensive research) and low in alpha-glucans like starch, glycogen, etc. These mycelium grown on grain products are the opposite: low in beta-glucans and high in alpha-glucans (starch). This is due to the mixed grain with the finished product. The grain increases the alpha-glucan due to starch content, which lowers the amount of fungal material in the product, lowering the amount of active medicinal compounds you’re paying good money for.
Real Mushrooms’ dedication to quality and authenticity has earned them top marks from ConsumerLab in their reishi report, solidifying their position as a leader in the field.
You Can Test These Claims
To verify this, you can run an iodine starch test at home for under $5: http://www.realmushrooms.com/starchtest/. The fact that they have a starch kit so you can test it yourself is amazing. This is a company that is honest and transparent and ready to truly stand behind what they have studied and the product they are producing.
Real Mushrooms is on a mission to deliver functional mushroom products in their most authentic form.
Tremella Hand Picked for Moisturized, Vibrant Skin
Tremella fuciformis, also known as tremella, is renowned for its exceptional hydrating qualities, comparable to hyaluronic acid. Yet, it offers the added advantage of being more affordable than other anti-aging supplements on the market. Known for its gelatinous and mucilage-like qualities, tremella can attract and retain moisture, making it an invaluable ingredient for skin health.
The Benefits Of Tremella
- Hydration Mastery: With its ability to hold water up to 500 times its weight, tremella is a natural skin hydrator, leaving your skin plump, fresh, and vibrant.
- Immune Support: Packed with antioxidants, tremella helps fend off environmental stressors (especially great for those living in cities), and supports overall health.
- Natural Defense Care: Its antioxidant-rich properties make tremella beneficial for calming and soothing the skin, addressing temporary redness, and supporting sensitive skin types.
- Defy Your Age: Tremella’s antioxidants contribute to anti-aging benefits, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and promote a youthful complexion.
