PSK Beta-(1-3)/(1-6)-D-glucans - adaptogenic modulators with properties related to prebiotic effect and defense shield activation. Beta-glucans enter the body through special cells of the intestine, called Peyer's patches, and receptors on these cells ensure transport of beta-glucans to the spleen, lymphatic ducts and bone marrow, where they act on the defence shield.

Ergosterol - the main substance among the sterols contained in mushrooms, precursor of vitamin D2 and antioxidant properties

GABA - gamma-aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter whose activity and levels are related to nervous system activity, mental fitness and emotional stability

Lovastatin - a natural modulator, its properties are related to cholesterol levels, among other things

Hifas da Terra = European leader in adaptogenic mushrooms
Hifas da Terra (a prestigious member of the Integrative Myco-Medicine Association) is a European biotechnology leader in the development of bioactive adaptogenic mushroom products. The company currently has more than 15 active clinical trials evaluating the benefits of supplementation with its products. It is collaborating with universities and medical institutions, such as the University of Vigo, Ourense University Hospital, Meixoeiro Hospital and the Medical Geriatric Assistance Center in Leganés. Currently, Hifas da Terra is carrying out the following clinical studies/projects.

Hifas da Terra = Everything under one roof
Hifas da Terra is a premium Spanish company dedicated to the high-end production of proprietary adaptogenic mushrooms. It does not purchase raw materials for the production of its supplements from other producers, but obtains them from mushrooms grown on its own organic farm. Here, the mushrooms are grown under the strictest conditions either in organic greenhouses or directly on natural wood as is common in nature. Hifas da Terra thus literally controls the entire process of growth, harvesting and production of the final product - everything takes place under its own roof or, as Esteban Stompel, one of the brand's founders and head of research and innovation, says, in its own mushroom forest. It is worth noting that Hifas de Terra plants more than 120,000 mycorrhizal trees every year, which, in addition to production, also take care of positive oxygen production.

Hifas da Terra = All dedicated to development and research
62% of Hifas da Terra's profits go to research and development. Everyone at Hifas is primarily focused on development, scientific research and providing solutions to improve life. Through pre-clinical and clinical trials, the effect of all products is verified and proven. In this regard, HdT is crossing the biotech frontier and heading into the biopharma field by seeking new patentable products and new uses as bioactive natural support agents. We have our own large scientific team and more than 200 multidisciplinary experts working with us.

^Hifas® Mycotherapy Bank - one of the largest tribal hub banks
Hifas da Terra has one of the largest strain banks of adaptogenic mushrooms in Europe, allowing us to select the most suitable strain for each focus. Hifas da Terra's exclusive bank contains a collection of over 200 strains, some of which are deposited and protected under different IP rights (Intellectual Property), while others are in the process of being patented. Hifas da Terra's research and development team is constantly working to expand the strain bank by searching and selecting new strains of adaptogenic fungi.

Hifas da Terra = Quality, Purity and Potency
Hifas da Terra's motto is "Quality, Purity and Potency". In order to guarantee these three points in all its products, the brand has developed an exclusive quality control system combining the advanced features of the technologies used in the Research and Development Department and the strict requirements of the Quality Control Department. Production adheres to these rules:

• 360° traceability - every ingredient in Hifas da Terra products can be traced from literally every angle, hence 360°. Strictly controlled production from cultivation, through the cultivation process to marketing, subject to the pharmaceutical quality standard GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).
• Triple analytical control - control is carried out in the areas of safety, purity, concentration of active ingredients and confirmation of the stability of the final product. This includes testing for microbiological purity, pesticides, heavy metals and gluten. Each mushroom extract has its own unique "fingerprint", taken using advanced analytical techniques, which helps us document the identity of the extract.
• Safety - The products are tested for "organic" status: this testing guarantees the complete absence of 400 pesticides and heavy metals in each batch produced as well as in the final product. External control analyses are carried out by EUROFINS and CRAEGA.
• Microbiological testing - Hifas da Terra's testing is in some cases more stringent than that required by the European Pharmacopoeia, which sets out the prescribed quality of medicines.
• Stability tests - Their use is normally reserved exclusively for the pharmaceutical industry and many companies do not carry them out. Final products are tested under certain temperatures with humidity to assess the stability of the formula.
• Concentration - Standardization of active ingredients: Unlike other adaptogenic mushroom products, Hifas da Terra informs on the labels the concentrations of the active ingredients - these concentrations are obtained through precise analytical processes. Hifas da Terra's laboratory team certifies their presence, composition and concentration (beta-glucans, terpenes, vitamins and minerals, and other substances) through external analytical auditing systems - GMP, ISO 13485 and EUROFINS Labs.
• Only essential ingredients - and no non-essential ingredients (rice, wood, husks,...)
• 100% herbal capsules - our capsules are not mixed with herbal medicine, artificial sweeteners or fillers
• 100% Recyclable - 100% recyclable glass containers

Maximum concentration of non-denatured biomolecules in the extract = HGE technology - Hifas Green Extraction

We implement cutting edge technologies (patent pending) directly linked to product performance and extraction yield. We also minimize the amount of unused by-product material through the use of by-products in agriculture or animal feed.

HGE - Hifas Green Extraction - an exclusive extraction system that uses unique technologies and input materials from RAW quality mushrooms (dried at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius) to achieve higher concentrations of bioactive ingredients. HGE is also an extraction system that is environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Globally, Hifas da Terra is one of the recognized pioneers in new extraction methods, focused on the ecological path. The origins of Hifas Green Extraction ^Technology® can be found in the article Sequential extraction of Hericium erinaceus using green solvents published in 2015 in the journal LWT- Food Science, Swiss Society for Food Science and Technology (SGLWT/SOSSTA).

Hifas Green Extraction ^Technology® is a unique and efficient extraction method (patent pending) that guarantees a safe, pure and high quality extract. All this through a unique process that reduces energy consumption, uses alternative solvents and renewable natural resources.

Thus, Hifas da Terra's biotechnologists have designed and implemented a recognized extraction process that is patented and protected by industrial secrecy. This unique process can extract the maximum concentration of each bioactive substance in its original undenatured form. These are the so-called undenatured MIB (Mico-Inmuno-Biotics) extracts, which are bioactive and identical to their source!

How to choose a quality mushroom supplement?
Mushrooms may contain heavy metals, pesticides and may be irradiated. Choosing a good brand is therefore essential. We should always look for concentrations of active ingredients and for these labels:

A STUDY REVEALED THAT 75% OF REISHI SUPPLEMENTS TESTED CONTAINED ONLY TRACES OR NO MUSHROOMS AT ALL. SOURCE: REVISTA NATURE & NUTRAINGREDIENTS.
A study conducted in 2017 in the US and published in the scientific journal Nature revealed that only 25% of mushroom products, i.e. 1 in 4, contained the amount of Reishi that is on the label. The other 75% have only traces of Reishi or contain no mushrooms at all.

Optimisation and sustainability in the production process
Quality, efficiency and our commitment to the environment go hand in hand to provide superior and sustainable products.

Sustainability
Our motto is "Healthy & Conscious - Always good for you, now better for the planet". Achieving product excellence along with protecting the environment is our healthy obsession. From start to finish, from the essentials to the small details of what we do and how we do it, these standards and principles define us:

• Organic, Non-GMO products
• GMP pharmaceutical quality and safety standards
• Products suitable for celiacs, lactose intolerant individuals and vegans
• 100% vegetable capsules made from cellulose, purifiedwater and carrot concentrate
• Paper from sustainable forests... and now recyclable plastic replaces glass in our products
• Our next goal is to begreen

Glass packaging
Our commitment to the environment extends to our product packaging: we are introducing glass, a material with infinite lives. Not only does glass have an infinite life cycle, but the strength and topaz colour of our new bottles also protects and preserves the properties of the extract inside. And it also 100% eliminates the possibility of material transfer from the packaging to the product. The possibility of endless reuse of the glass reduces_CO2 emissions and the need to use new material to produce new packaging.

Mushrooms help the environment
Most of us have no idea that mushrooms are invaluable for soil restoration and regeneration. Hifas da Terra carries out environmental research projects aimed at restoring soil contaminated by hydrocarbons and substances from mining activities, as well as restoring soil damaged by forest fires. While some fungi are able to break down pollutants, others bring life to inert soil through interaction with the roots of chestnuts, oaks and various conifers. These symbiotic fungi species provide the trees they coexist with with great resilience and strength to survive in adverse conditions. The symbiotic coexistence of beneficial fungi with plant roots is called mycorrhiza. Hifas da Terra continuously plants mycorrhizal trees to help damaged soil.

Clean energy and energy savings
Hifas da Terra's headquarters are surrounded by natural greenery, which also requires a mastery of water resource management. Therefore, there is a well collecting rainwater, which, after ozone treatment, serves as a water source for the company's headquarters. Biomass obtained from the surrounding forest is used as a biofuel generating heat during the winter in our slate floors.

Less waste
Hifas also uses a closed loop system to manage waste from the grow bags and logs we use in growing our mushrooms. Once the production cycle of bags and logs is complete, the resulting substrate is used to nourish our soil with organic matter.

Our carbon footprint
Hifas da Terra generates more oxygen than it consumes! Thanks to the Hifas Foresta programme, 120,000 trees are planted every year. These trees play a major role in landscape and soil restoration. They also support a sustainable economy by generating valuable resources in the landscape for future generations.
