| Product Description |
Dr Jean Munro, Breakspear Hospital, Hemel Hempstead, England uses Coriolus-MRL to increase the natural killer (NK) cell activity in her chronic fatigue/ME patients.
The use of mycological products for immune enhancement is a standard practice in Asian cultures. In Japan, Sankyo Pharmaceutical Co., licensed an extract of Coriolus versicolor from Kureha Chemical Co.. This extract, named Krestin (PSK), became Sankyo´s largest selling pharmaceutical product for over ten years, selling over $ 600 million per year, when prescribed along with chemotherapuetic agents for the treatment of cancer.
MRL Ltd.´s Coriolus versicolor powder contains both mycelium and primordia (young fruit body) cultivated into a biomass that is grown on a sterilised (autoclaved) substrate. This cultivation process ensures the powder is free from contamination by other fungi and that pesticides and heavy metals are absent.

| More |
United Kingdom based, MRL was founded in 1997 and develops mycology (mushroom nutrition) and non-mycology products as dietary supplements or "functional foods".
MRL utilises proprietary Japanese production technology to cultivate selected strains of the different mushrooms in California. The strains have been selected for their overall bioactivity and for their stability (purity). The cultivation process is in accordance with the California Organic Food Act of 1990.
These mushroom nutrition products are not extracts, but instead contain both the mycelium and primordia (young fruitbody) of the mushroom cultivated into a biomass on an edible, sterile (autoclaved substrate). The cultivation process ensures that the biomass is free from contamination by other fungi or bacteria and that heavy metals (pesticides) are not present.
Following cultivation, the biomass is dried, powdered and tableted to food grade Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
