What is common stinkhorn, and why is it collected specifically at the "egg" stage? — (Common Stinkhorn/Phallus impudicus) dietary supplement, juice, 250 ml-Sipro

Phallus impudicus, or common stinkhorn, is a fungus that was used in folk and traditional practice long before modern supplements appeared. Its distinctive feature is rapid growth: it goes from the "egg" stage to a mature fruiting body within a few hours. That is why the raw material is collected at an early stage, while the fruiting body has not yet opened.

At this phase the fungus has a milder taste and is suitable for obtaining a liquid extract, the juice. In terms of composition, the stinkhorn contains polysaccharides of fungal origin, which take part in the interaction with the body's immune response, as well as other bioactive compounds associated with antioxidant activity.

The liquid format of the juice differs from capsules and powders: it does not need to dissolve in the stomach and is convenient for those who prefer drinks to tablets. The product is diluted in water and included in the usual routine, which makes it a practical option for those who want to try a fungal extract in liquid form.
