PRODUCTION OF REISHI EXTRACT
HANDO® meets strict quality criteria in the production of Reishi extract: Exclusively, the spore-bearing part of the “mushroom of immortality” – according to Japanese translation – is used for further processing.
In order to preserve the high-quality active ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, dietary fibre, essential amino acids and secondary ingredients, during production and processing, strict quality standards are required: each part of the vital mushroom that carries the spores is used by HANDO®. Many products from other manufacturers are diluted: the woody stem is also used for processing – which weakens the effect of the vital mushroom. HANDO® on the other hand relies on highest quality throughout selection!
The production process takes several complex steps: After the raw material control the medicinal mushrooms are crushed and ground. For the production of extracts (powder in concentrated form) a kind of concentrated tea or brew is produced with hot water. The substances dissolved in it are retained by subsequent freeze-drying. The concentration of polysaccharides is increased by repeated dehydration. No chemical substances are added.
The Reishi extract obtained is 100% made from the Reishi mushroom and is only filled into capsules after passing the strictest quality control.
This guarantees the unique quality of HANDO® Reishi.

HANDO® concentrated Reishi extract
The complex process of HANDO® Reishi is demonstrated by the concentration of the vital mushroom extract: it is 1:6, which means that one kilogram of Reishi extract is obtained from six kilograms of the original “mushroom for long life”.
The vital mushroom works comprehensively
The vital mushroom is considered an alternative means of supporting a healthy immune system and a healthy cardiovascular system.
PRODUCTION OF NOPAL POWDER
HANDO® stands for high quality standards in the production and processing of Nopal powder. For the production of Hando® Nopal powder only cacti from untouched eco-systems are used.
Vitamin C, calcium, potassium and beta-carotene are just some of the active ingredients of Nopal. In order to maintain the quality of the nutrients, HANDO® attaches great importance to high quality in the production and processing of Hando® Nopal powder.
Nopal: Use as tea or powder
Two species of cacti are particularly important in processing: tea is mainly extracted from the Nopal species “Opuntia ficus indica”. The cacti needed for this grow on natural soils without artificial irrigation and without the use of synthetic fertilizers. This is the only way to ensure the highest quality. In order to achieve optimum drying results, the cactus shreds are placed in foil tunnels. Dried in the sun, they turn black through oxidation. In the drying chambers, Nopal tea retains a lighter colour. There, the Nopal shreds are turned by hand every day. The tea is used to support a cholesterol-conscious diet.

PRODUCT BASIS: WILD GROWING PRICKLY PEAR CACTI
Wild growing cacti, “Opuntia streptacantha”, from untouched eco-systems are the basis of Nopal powder. The Nopal leaves are first cut, then dried and finally ground into powder. One kilogram of HANDO® Nopal powder is obtained from five kilograms of fresh Nopal leaves.
Numerous studies confirm the natural beneficial effects of Nopal.
Nopal regulates the blood sugar level
Nopal lowers cholesterol levels
Nopal stimulates digestion
Nopal strengthens the bladder in cases of urinary incontinence
PRODUCTION OF MACA POWDER
In order to preserve the high-quality active ingredients, strict quality standards are applied in the production process of Maca. “Maca gelatinizada” from HANDO® is convincing through its high bio-availability.
The cultivated Maca plant grows in the central Andes of Peru. In the production of “Maca gelantinizada”, the starch that makes up a third of the substance of the plant is broken down by means of heat and high pressure. What remains are the natural components and valuable nutrients of Maca.
The advantages of the high quality “Maca gelatinizada” offered by HANDO® are:
Maca is particularly well digestible
Maca has a very fine consistency
Maca has a high concentration of important active ingredients
Maca has a high bio-availability
Maca powder is free of hydrocyanic acid, which can be detected in small quantities in the fresh tubers
The careful manufacturing process guarantees a safe and durable product that meets strict quality standards.

Proteins
Carbohydrates
Vitamines
Mineral salts
Trace elements
Amino acids
The careful manufacturing process guarantees a safe and durable product that meets strict quality standards.
PRODUCTION OF BIO ACEROLA CAMU CAMU
The two exotic shrub fruits are amongst the fruits with the highest known content of natural Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid). This is 30 to 40 times higher than that of conventional citrus fruits such as oranges or lemons. The fruits known under their Latin names Malpighia glabra (bio Acerola) and Myrciaria dubia (Camu Camu) are particularly suitable for
to build up and strengthen the immune system
to support vision
to provide mental help against stress and anxiety
to fight fatigue
to stimulate collagen formation (skin, teeth, bones)
to increase iron absorption
Rich active ingredients of Bio Acerola and Camu Camu
Bio Acerola is obtained from the Acerola cherry. It is a spherical drupe with a diameter of 10 to 15 mm. Its juice is sold deep-frozen or pasteurized. HANDO Bio Acerola is obtained as an extract through a spray-drying process and is a highly valued food supplement, which contains valuable active ingredients, amongst other things:
Proteins
Dietary fibre
Minerals
The fruits of the Camu Camu shrub grow to a size of about 3 cm. Its exceptionally high content of natural Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) accounts for about 2-3% of the fresh weight of the fruits harvested. The juice is gently spray dried in a freeze-dry process to preserve the natural Vitamin C. Camu Camu extract contains
Minerals
Vitamines
Essential amino acids
Proteines
Dietary fibre
