Our Documentation
Per our mission, we are here to be fully transparent with our customers; a trusted USA source for all your medicinal mushroom needs. In an industry rife with bad actors, half truths, and hyperbolic claims it's hard to know who to trust with your mushroom supplements. That's why we're intent on displaying our certificates of analysis, our testing and research with Penn State University, and our 3rd party test results. At Brain Wave, we go beyond what's expected, because that's what our customers deserve.
Our research partnership with Penn State University measuring key nootropic compounds and more...
Third party testing for supplement brands should be a no brainer. This is not something to pat yourself on the back for. At Brain Wave, we not only use 3rd party testing for every batch to ensure our mushroom supplements do not have anything in them that they shouldn't, but we've taken it to the next level. We've partnered with Penn State University as an official research partner to dig into key nutrient measurements. We're not only verifying that our Lion's Mane contains key nootropic compounds like Erinacine A, but we've decided to measure ourselves against one of the most popular brands on the market, Ryze coffee.
So, what is 3rd party testing when it comes to mushroom supplements?
Third-party testing means that an independent, certified laboratory (not the company making the product) analyzes the supplement to confirm its safety and purity. In the world of mushroom supplements, this usually means verifying that the product is free from contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes — and that it actually contains what the label claims.
Please find below our Penn State research along with letters of analysis from PSU verifying our findings around Erinacine A in Lion's Mane and ergothioneine in Brain Wave mushrooms and products.
