Supplement Facts
At Nutreance, safety and effectiveness are paramount in our mission to provide you with innovative natural remedies. That's why Pentaspore has been carefully formulated using only the most effective natural ingredients with the highest safety ratings, according to extensive clinical research.
But it's not enough to simply combine dietary supplements recommended by scientific studies into a formula. The quality of the ingredients that make up any natural remedy are critical to its overall efficacy.
Just as you can buy fresh fruits or vegetables from a farmer's market that are of much higher quality than at your local supermarket, not all ingredients are created equal. In the same way, you may be able to purchase the same ingredient from two different suppliers, but the purity and potency may be entirely different. For this reason, we thoroughly vet our raw material suppliers to ensure that our natural remedies are comprised of only the highest quality ingredients.
| Lion's Mane Mushroom Powder | Lion's mane is a white, shaggy-looking mushroom prized for both its culinary value and for its cognitive-enhancing properties. It possesses a diverse array of beneficial nutrients, including antioxidant beta-glucans and unique neuroprotective compounds known as hericenones and erinacines. A study in 2018 showed that these phytochemicals are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and stimulate the body's release of nerve growth factor, which helps forge and maintain healthy neural connections.[1] |
| Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Powder | Cordyceps militaris is a tall, orange fungus commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to boost energy and overall vitality. Scientific research has indicated that the compounds cordycepin and cordymin in this species increase production of ATP, the primary source of energy at the cellular level. A clinical study in 2020 concluded that taking cordyceps militaris prior to a workout increased exercise performance primarily through this mechanism, as evidenced by ATP's distinct biomarkers.[2] |
| Reishi Mushroom Powder | A reddish-brown, kidney shaped mushroom that commonly grows at the base of maple trees, reishi has been used in traditional medicine throughout North America, Europe, and Asia for centuries. Its high concentration of triterpenoids and polysaccharides, especially beta-glucans, have been shown to help strengthen both innate and adaptive immune responses against foreign pathogens. One study in 2023 found that reishi stimulated the production of immune cells and limited the ability of viruses to proliferate.[3] |
| Turkey Tail Mushroom Powder | Turkey tail, named for its multicolored bands which resemble a turkey's tail feathers, is known for having some of the highest high beta-glucan content among all functional mushrooms. In addition to these polysaccharides, the species contains anti-inflammatory polysaccharopeptides which have been shown to activate specific immune cells that fight infection. A study of turkey tail in 2019 identified the mycelium, the root-like structure of the mushroom, as the primary source of its immune benefits.[4] |
| Chaga Mushroom Powder | Often found growing on the trunks of birch trees, chaga is rich in both polysaccharides, particularly beta-glucans, as well as other phenolic compounds, such as melanin. It is the latter which is responsible for both its burnt, charcoal-like appearance and strong antioxidant properties, as it works to preserve cellular health by neutralizing harmful free radicals. In a clinical study published in 2004, researchers identified that chaga helped significantly reduce DNA damage caused by oxidative stress.[5] |
| Vegetable Capsule | Many supplements that you purchase from the store use gelatin capsules to deliver their active ingredients. Not only are these capsules not vegetarian, as they are made from animal parts, but they are also often colored with harmful dyes to obscure their inner contents. But Pentaspore uses only vegan, non-GMO vegetable capsules made from plant cellulose and contain no additional additives like colors or dyes. This ensures that our product is sensitive to dietary restrictions and completely natural for everyone to take. |
| Microcrystalline Cellulose | Microcrystalline cellulose, or wood pulp, is present in each capsule of Pentaspore as a natural filler. It is used to fill up any empty space in the capsule that might result after all of the other active and inactive ingredients are added. This prevents the capsules from denting while in transit. |
| Magnesium Stearate | Magnesium stearate is present in trace amounts in nearly all capsule and tablet products. It is primarily used as a lubricant that makes the pill easier to swallow and allows it to slide more easily down your digestive tract. It also serves an important purpose as an excipient, meaning that it improves the solubility of the active ingredients and assists your body in absorbing the capsule contents. |
