Functional mushrooms like Reishi, Cordyceps, and Lion’s Mane are gaining popularity in the health supplement market. As more people buy these products, the risk of fraud also increases. 🍄 Powders and capsules often look the same, which makes it easy for premium mushroom species to be swapped with cheaper ones. This can mislead customers, lower product quality, and sometimes even cause health problems like allergic reactions. lifeprint GmbH - a Tentamus company - tackles this problem with an accredited DNA-based method called metabarcoding. 🧬 This method identifies every mushroom species in a sample. It helps confirm authenticity and spot possible fraud, even in processed products like powders and capsules. lifeprint also provides metabarcoding for land plants and vertebrates, along with wider fraud detection services through the Tentamus Center for Food Fraud - TCF². 🔬 If you want to learn more about how we can help, please contact: 📩 [email protected]
