Frequently Asked Questions – Alphay USA

Our mushrooms are organically grown in China, and processed in Alphay's own bio-tech campus under the most stringent quality practices.

Safety is a top priority at Alphay. The products are manufactured in pharmaceutical-grade installations, using good manufacturing practices. Alphay uses purified water for its products and in the daily cleaning of all its workshops. Additionally, Alphay tests each lot for heavy metals, yeasts, molds, mycotoxins, and pesticides (among other things) before products are approved for market. 

BALANCE is our overall wellness product, and a great way to jumpstart your journey with mushroom supplements. Not ready to commit to supplements?

Alphay employs a 3-step proprietary extraction process that includes water, alcohol, and enzymes, depending on the active ingredient it wants to extract:  Water is used to extract water-soluble nutrients such as polysaccharides and proteins. Alcohol helps separate nutrients from non-nutrients and extract fat-soluble nutrients such as triterpenoids and fatty acids. Enzymes break down polysaccharide molecules into micro molecules that are more easily absorbed by the body.

Alphay uses proprietary, low-temperature extracting techniques. 

Black tea was selected for its aroma and taste, but also for its health benefits, which become more pronounced when blended with medicinal mushrooms. 

Alphay uses regular (caffeinated) coffee in its products. Many consumers happily report experiencing less (or none) of the jitters frequently associated with caffeinated drinks thanks to the adaptogenic effects of the mushrooms.
