What Quality Looks Like: Inside FreshCap’s Processing Standards

At FreshCap, we believe that what you put in your body should come with no surprises—and no compromises. That’s why we’re committed to complete transparency about how our mushroom supplements are made. 

In this blog, we’re opening the doors to our production process so you can see exactly how FreshCap delivers unmatched quality, safety, and effectiveness in every capsule and powder.

Our Multi-Step Process: Built for Potency and Purity

What sets FreshCap apart is our comprehensive, multi-step approach to creating premium mushroom supplements. This isn’t just about extraction—it’s about making sure every step from sourcing to testing is intentionally designed to preserve and concentrate nature’s most powerful compounds.

It Starts With Sourcing: Only the Best Will Do

We source our mushrooms from regions where they can grow in optimal conditions—clean environments that support maximum compound development. But it’s not just about geography—it’s also about relationships.

We’ve spent years developing strong relationships with trusted mushroom-growing partners who share our commitment to quality and integrity. Our mushrooms are cultivated in clean, controlled environments to ensure optimal growing conditions and the highest concentration of beneficial compounds. We use only the pure mushroom fruiting body—never mycelium on grain or filler materials—so every batch starts with the most potent raw material possible.

Processing That Preserves Potency

Once harvested, mushrooms are dried and carefully milled into powder before undergoing one of our precision extraction methods. This step is critical: it unlocks the beneficial compounds within tough mushroom cell walls that your body can’t easily digest on its own.

Depending on the mushroom and its compound profile, we apply:

- Hot water extraction for water-soluble compounds like beta-glucans

- Alcohol extraction for non-polar compounds like triterpenoids

- Dual or triple extraction for mushrooms requiring a broader spectrum of extraction

We optimize each extraction using precise time, temperature, and solvent ratios to maximize the yield of bioactive compounds. Afterward, we use spray drying to concentrate and preserve these compounds in a fine powder.

Standardized for Consistency and Efficacy

Our extracts aren’t just potent—they’re standardized. That means every batch is tested to contain consistent levels of active compounds, such as:

- ≥29%–35% beta-glucans (depending on the mushroom)

- Triterpenes and cordycepin, where applicable

This level of consistency ensures you're getting exactly what the label promises—every time.

A Facility That Meets the Highest Standards

All FreshCap supplements are produced in facilities that meet or exceed the most stringent industry regulations. Our products are:

- Manufactured in GMP-certified and FDA-registered facilities
