Extraction Ratios Are Dead: The BallyFungi Commitment to Functional Truth
Share
Welcome to BallyFungi. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just the truth — raw, distilled, and verified. We're not here to ride trends or echo marketing myths. We're here to extract reality.
Let’s Be Honest About Ratios
You’ve seen it everywhere: “10:1 extract.” “20:1 potency.” These numbers are everywhere in the mushroom supplement world. They imply strength, efficacy, superiority.
They mean nothing without context.
A 10:1 extract means 10kg of raw mushroom went in, and 1kg came out. But what came out? Triterpenes? Beta-glucans? Hericenones? Or just cellulose, starch and dead mass? Without lab analysis — LC-MS, NMR — you have no idea. And neither does the person selling it to you.
How BallyFungi Does It
Each BallyFungi dual extract is made using:
• 150g dried fruiting body (no grain, no fillers)
• 750mL 95% ethanol for alcohol-soluble compounds
• 1.5L hot water for polysaccharides and water-solubles
• Final extract volume: 2L at 30% ABV
We don’t reduce to powder. We don’t add maltodextrin. We don’t pretend to be “15:1” unless we’ve dried it and tested the actives. We work within the actual solvent saturation limits — especially ethanol, which maxes out around 150g mushroom mass at this scale. That’s not just good practice. That’s chemistry.
Transparency Over Theatre
We won't sell you ratios. We’ll show you:
• Input weights and solvent volumes
• Extraction methods (time, temp, phase)
• ABV and preservation model
• When available: compound-level tests (coming soon)
We invite others to do the same. Real medicine requires real math.
What We’re Building
We’re crafting a new standard — not based on slogans, but solvent integrity, saturation logic, and full disclosure. We don’t claim our extracts are stronger. We show you exactly how they’re made, and let your body decide.
In Closing
Extraction ratios are a dead metric. The new standard is compound-aware transparency. If a supplier can’t tell you what’s in the bottle, what was used to make it, and why it works — they’re not ready to sell it.
We are.
