About us
Oriveda's focus is on selling well-researched functional mushroom extracts of superior quality. The composition of the extracts and the dosage recommendations are in line with the existing scientific research, not 'made up'.
Our business is based on common sense and pragmatism. We feel that every claim of quality has to be supported with facts.
Every batch of our products is tested for both safety (heavy metals) and active ingredients. We use objective ISO-17025 certified laboratories such as Eurofins and Alkemist US.
You don't have to take our word for it when we claim premium quality - you can verify it.
We introduced the concept of objective lab testing already in 2010. We are still one of the very few vendors that share actual lab test reports with our customers. No deceiving home-made 'certificates of analysis', no conflicts of interest (like 'in-house testing' sounds nice but it is meaningless).
Sad as it may be, it is an undeniable fact that 99% of vendors prefer to spend their money on marketing instead of quality control.
• Oriveda extracts are the most powerful extracts available worldwide, with guaranteed levels of the most important marker compounds and the highest bioavailability possible. And this is not just a marketing statement.
• Since 2010 we have always emphasized the use of extracts, being the only reliable way to accomplish therapeutic effects.
• Already in 2012 we started specifying beta-glucans (the main active ingredient of most functional mushrooms) on our supplement fact labels. Currently beta-glucans are widely accepted as a quality marker, using an AOAC-validated test method.
• We were the first ones specifiying cordycepin as a quality marker for Cordyceps and the first and the only ones to specify the ganoderic acids that are the trademark of Reishi.
This approach makes it easy for consumers to choose the right product and they're less likely to be deceived by marketing tricks. Check our FAQ for additional details.

Lab test reports
Oriveda introduced the concept of using objective lab tests as proof of quality and safety in 2010. We were the first vendor to do so.
It is bewildering, but even after 15 years Oriveda is still one of very few supplement sellers that spend money on quality control instead of marketing.
LAB TEST REPORTS
Recent research found that ± 89% of supplements sold in the US did not contain what was claimed on the label. Forbidden ingredients, massive amounts of fillers, you name it.
You should be able to trust your supplier. After all, you are putting this in your body! But how can you if 99% of vendors refuse to share proof of quality and safety?
We guarantee our supplements contain what we claim and are 100% safe. No excessive heavy metals and premium potency.
We tested them.
Bulk ordering • FAQ
Expiration date
Our mushroom extracts do not have an 'Expiration Date' but a 'Best Before' date.
The extract powder in the capsules only contains inert compounds which do not oxidize or react with each-other. These compounds do not expire / lose their properties over time. The only potential problem is that due to the hygroscopic properties of these extracts they can solidify over time because they absorb humidity from their environment.
The chances of this happening are minimised by packing the extract in capsules inside airtight, sealed packaging together with moisture absorbing silica gel pouches. As soon as the packaging is opened -exposed to air- the extract powder can solidify / change color inside the capsules.
If the moisture levels increase the potential for bacterial contamination in theory also increases, which is why we still use a 'Best Before' date. The 'Best Before' date is usually at least 1½ year - 2 years in the future.

Bulk powder
We can supply bulk extract powder as a custom order only with a minimal order quantity of 5 kgs per extract.
Contact us for details and prices..
How is it packed?
Bulk orders are packed per 500 grams.
A 1 kg order consist of two sealed ziploc bags, each with 500 grams of extract powder inside HPMC (cellulose/vegetarian) capsules.
Depending on your dosage regime 1 kg covers up to 3 years of daily intake.
Why so expensive?
As a matter of fact bulk orders are significantly cheaper than a standard order.
Look at the price per gram: e.g. our Turkey Tail costs USD 82.95 per 180 capsules (180 x 350 mg = 63 grams). That's ± USD 1.32 per gram.
A Turkey Tail bulk order is USD 725. That's ± 0.72 USD per gram. 45% cheaper. Taking into account the potency of this extract (over 50% beta-glucan) the value for money is the best you can get, worldwide.
