Lab Results

Every batch of Mala Wellness mushrooms is independently tested by ACS Laboratory. We publish the results here so you can verify exactly what's in your pouch — potency, purity, and nothing else.

What we test for

• Beta-glucan content — the key active compound group in functional mushrooms, measured specifically (not vague "polysaccharides").
• Starch — high starch is the fingerprint of grain filler from mycelium products. Our results confirm 100% fruiting body with no grain, starch or additives.
• Purity and safety — screening for contaminants, so what's on the label is what's in the pouch.

How powder compares to tinctures

In October 2024 we also paid ACS Laboratory to test two well-known Lion's Mane tinctures under identical conditions — same lab, same panel, same month. We've redacted the brand names; the numbers can speak for themselves.

• Lion's Mane tincture A — same test, brand redacted
• Lion's Mane tincture B — same test, brand redacted

What to look at: the Cordycep panel. Our powders returned adenosine at 0.355 and 0.229 mg/g, with betulin, lupeol and tryptophan also detected. The tinctures returned 0.012 and 0.002 mg/g — roughly 20 to 100 times lower, with almost every other analyte below the limit of quantitation. A tincture is mostly water and alcohol. A whole fruiting-body powder is mushroom.

Our certification

Mala Wellness is certified organic by Southern Cross Certification, covering the full farm-to-bottle process at our farm in Stokers Siding, Northern NSW — not just the raw ingredient.
