MYQO
Functional mushrooms in our minds!
We love the extraordinary world of mushrooms! For years we have been exploring its secrets and observing the miraculous effects of functional mushrooms. Organic, organically grown, mushroom pericarp extracts are adaptogens that support proper immune system function and more! Our dietary supplements we want to share with you harness the amazing power of functional mushrooms and their blends!
Why MYQO?
When creating our products, we always put the quality of the raw material first. That's why each delivery of it is tested in an independent German laboratory Agrolab. As one of the few, we are a manufacturer of functional mushrooms from organic BIO raw materials. We maintain the highest quality standards, but this is not our only goal - we have always had at heart helping those who need it most. We have transferred this mission to the MYQO brand! From each product purchased from us, we donate PLN 3.00 to a foundation that cares for people in need and our four-legged friends.
Mushroom extracts in capsules
The most convenient form of taking mushroom supplements are capsules. Each of our capsules contains 500 mg of the extract. Just one capsule or two is enough to support our body in proper functioning. Our capsules are designed to be easy to swallow and friendly to vegetarians and vegans.
Powdered extracts of functional mushrooms
Do you fancy a mushroom tea? Or maybe you want to add powder to a functional smoothie or your morning coffee or cocoa? Maybe your therapy includes larger amounts of extracts? A self-dosing powdered extract is the perfect solution. We add a wooden measuring cup to each jar to make it easy for you to dispense your favorite extract.

We have followed the work of Ms. Professor for many years, so it was a great pleasure for us to meet her in person. From the beginning we found a common language because we were united by our passion for medicinal mushrooms! Naturally, this turned into cooperation. We believe that together we will contribute to raising awareness about scientific research on the amazing properties of functional mushrooms.
Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes extract from ground mushroom powder, or what to look for when buying mushrooms ?
If you want the best effect, go for mushroom extracts that contain 30% polysaccharides. These can be either in capsule or powder form.
Ground mushrooms, on the other hand, contain far fewer polysaccharides (3-5%), making them less effective. Instead, they are used as a coffee additive and a form of prophylaxis that produces results after a much longer period of time than the extract.
Why go only for mushrooms that are lab-tested?
When choosing mushroom-based products, it is a good idea to pay attention to whether they have been tested in accredited laboratories for heavy metals, pesticides and other microorganisms that are harmful to humans, as well as substances that can negatively affect the proper functioning of the digestive system or weaken the immune system. All our raw materials are thoroughly tested at the independent Laboratiorum Agrolab. (See certificates) This gives us confidence that they are effective, but above all safe. These tests also confirm that the raw material used is pure, does not contain potato starch, for example, and has not been exposed to radioactive radiation.
