Unlike most, if not all other mushroom species, which mainly grow in groups or dense clusters, Lignosus rhinocerus grows in isolation: you’ll only find one stalk at a time. And that’s not all, what makes it precious and rare is that you won’t or can’t find another stalk within a radius of 5km. And, even if you do happen to find one, chances are that it may have grown to a stage by which it has sprouted out from the ground and produced a stem and cap. Unfortunately, the medicinal properties of L. rhinocerus are only found in the underground tuber or sclerotium. So, by the time the fruiting body has appeared, most of the active compound in the sclerotium will have been depleted. As a result of its unique growth habit, coupled with deforestation, finding Tiger Milk Mushroom is very much like looking for a needle in a haystack. Plus, with the rampant use of antibiotics and other medications brought about by advances in medical science during the last 50 years, this mythical fungus has slowly faded from people’s memory.
Realizing its high medicinal value, Nexus Bioceutical, group company of Nexus Wise Sdn Bhd initiated the R&D in the cultivation of Tiger Milk Mushroom. In 2016, Nexus Wise has successfully developed a proprietary indoor cultivation of Tiger Milk Mushroom (TigerPro®) through the utilization of biotechnology.
Malaysia’s national treasure along with Nexus Wise’s technology, TigerPro®, proven to exhibit these properties of ✔ Immune-modulatory, ✔ Anti-asthmatic, ✔Anti-inflammatory, ✔Anti-oxidant and ✔Anti-tumor which is suitable for the consumption of all ages, will soon conquer the new era of the immune health market!
