Independent Laboratory Test Results
At Mycolife, quality is not only stated it is verified.
We have begun publishing independent laboratory test results for selected Mycolife products and production batches. Our aim is to provide customers, healthcare professionals and business partners with clear, accessible and verifiable information about the quality and purity of our organic liquid mushroom extracts.
This page contains a summary of the results together with the complete laboratory reports in PDF format.
The results shown on this page relate specifically to the product and production batch identified below. They should not be interpreted as laboratory results for every previous or future production batch.

“Not detected” means that the substance was not detected at or above the limit of quantification stated in the laboratory report. It does not necessarily mean that the absolute concentration is zero.
CFU/g means colony-forming units per gram and is used to express microbiological counts.
The microbiological analysis included general microbial indicators as well as selected hygiene and food safety parameters.
Results:
• Total aerobic microbial count at 30°C: 3,500 CFU/g
• Yeasts and moulds: less than 10 CFU/g
• Escherichia coli: less than 10 CFU/g
• Salmonella spp.: not detected in 25 g

All heavy metals and PAH compounds listed above were below the laboratory quantification limits shown.
The selected microbiological parameters were either below the reported detection or quantification limits, or were not detected in the tested sample.
The symbol “<” means that the measured value was below the stated laboratory limit of quantification.
“Not detected” means that the microorganism was not detected in the quantity of sample specified.
The results relate only to the tested sample and production batch 230626.
