This Hen of the Woods extract is made from fresh Hen of the Woods fruitbody, organic alcohol, and reverse osmosis water. The alcohol solution is left at room temperature for two weeks before filtration of the fruitbody is performed. The alcohol is never heated during the extraction process leaving the medicinal compounds in a more naturalized state as heat breaks down molecular structures. This process of heating during extraction has been found to damage beta-glucan structure and inhibit the movement of the compound in the digestive tract making it more likely to be eliminated as a waste instead of taken into the bloodstream as desired.
