What is in MycelPro-1?
Unflavored MycelPro-1 contains only one whole food ingredient - 100% mycelium. That’s it! No flavorings, sweeteners, or additives.
How does it taste?
Unflavored MycelPro-1 has a very neutral taste, which makes it perfect for adding to shakes/smoothies, a protein boost for plant milks, oatmeal, pancakes,baked goods, even coffee! One scoop in coffee provides 10g of protein, 34mg of Longevity Spermidine and doesn’t taste like mud!
Is MycelPro-1 a Mushroom?
No, our strain of Mycelium does not produce mushrooms or fruiting bodies. Most Fungal species do not produce mushrooms.
What is Mycelium?
Mycelium is the branching body of a fungus, composed of a network of thread-like filaments called hyphae. Mycelium is a sustainable material used in packaging, building, fashion, and food products like MycelPro-1.
Is it Certified Vegan? Non-GMO? Gluten Free? Allergens?
Yes! MCP-1 is Certified Vegan, Non-GMO, and Gluten Free and is suitable for KETO/Low-Carb/Atkins, Paleo, Mediterranean, Vegan, Vegetarian, and Whole-Food Plant Based Diets. MCP-1 contains NO US recognized allergens.
Is it Certified Organic?
We call MycelPro-1 “Better Than Organic!” because it is produced without any pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and glyphosate. Whereas some pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are permitted in organic farming. Also, Organic regulations do not set specific limits or require routine testing for heavy metals.
Was the mycelium tested for Heavy Metals?
Yes. A serving of MycelPro-1 is both cGMP Compliant and Prop-65 Compliant for Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury, making it one of the cleanest protein powders available.
Are Chitin and Chitosan fibers beneficial?
Chitin and Chitosan are prebiotic fibers produced by mycelium that is found in fungi but not plants, with quite a few health benefits in humans.
> Chitosan supports a healthy gut microbiome, gut barrier integrity and immune function.
> Chitosan binds to dietary fat, cholesterol and triglycerides in the gut.
* Because Chitosan binds to fats, take fat soluble supplements (ex: Vitamin E, Omegas) at least four hours before or after consuming MycelPro-1.
> Chitosan may help remove PFAS (forever chemicals) and microplastics from the body.
> Chitosan supports healthy weight management and cardiovascular health.
> Chitosan also may increase the absorption and bioavailability of Vitamin B-12.
Is Rhizomucor pusillus safe to consume?
Yes. The specific strain of Rhizomucor pusillus (CBS 143028) does not produce ycotoxins. Safety Study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37532172/
Is MycelPro-1 a complete protein?
Yes, the mycelium protein in MycelPro-1 is a complete protein with all 9 EAAs. It is a good source of muscle building Leucine and Lysine and BCAAs.
Is the protein very digestible?
MycelPro-1 mycelium protein has a PDCAAS of 1.0.
What is spermidine? Is it safe? Is it synthetic, isolated or added?
Spermidine is a polyamine, that is essential for Autophagy, a cellular process that removes damaged/dead cells and is considered one of the most important ant-aging nutrients known. It is reported to be the only nutrient that positively supports “all 12 Hallmarks of Aging”.
See the Research Page to links to read additional studies on Spermidine, Chitin/Chitosan, Mycelium and more.
How is it different than plant protein powders?
> Better for muscle: Two important muscle building amino acids are Leucine and Lysine, with Lysine being a rate-limiting AA in plant foods. Gram for gram, MCP-1’s whole mycelium provides more Leucine than whole milk, whole egg and skinless chicken breast.
> MCP-1 contains Prebiotic Fibers Chitin & Chitosan, not found in plant foods.
> MCP-1 is the richest whole food source of Spermidine, 5-7 times more than most plant foods.
> MCP-1 is a whole food, where most plant protein powders are processed, concentrated or isolated and stripped of some nutrients, and fiber.
How is it different than whey protein powders?
> MCP-1 is rich in Anti-Aging Spermidine not found in whey protein.
> MCP-1 is a whole food, where whey protein powders are highly processed, concentrated or isolated.
> MCP-1 contains 10g Prebiotic Fiber not found in whey protein.
> MCP-1 not contain, dairy, casein, lactose, cholesterol and NO US Common Allergens.
Should anyone avoid using Mycelpro-1?
> Due to the high Spermidine content, anyone who has histamine intolerance (HIT), should avoid using this product.
> Avoid using if you are sensitive to Fungi.
What if you have Herpes? What is the Arginine to Lysine ratio?
MycelPro-1 has an Arginine to Lysine Ratio 1:1.3, with lower Arginine and
higher Lysine, which can be better for those with Herpes.
Plant-based proteins often have a higher arginine-to-lysine ratio, so individuals prone to Herpes outbreaks may find MycelPro-1to be a preferable option.
