Champfood
Mushroom Supplements
ChampFood products can be characterised as:
- An all natural supplement
- An extended-release protein and amino acid compost additive
- Improved sterility through special treatment
- Causes no rise in temperature beyond problematic levels
- Scientifically produced and permanently adjusted to the latest technology
ChampFood products are composed of denatured soybean meal, other protein sources, lipids and minerals. During the production process, the protein in the raw materials is protected with a coating to provide a delayed nutrient release. This coating also prevents competitive moulds from using easily available nutrients.
ChampFood International provides a wide range of supplements with a variety of protein and mineral levels. Even rich compost does not contain the amounts and types of protein (amino acids) needed for a maximum production, ChampFood products optimise the protein level, while minerals are a requirement to establish mycelium growth and fruit body formation.
ChampFood VA – 40% protein (vegetable and animal proteins)
ChampFood V – 44% protein (vegetable proteins)
ChampFood V – 42% protein (vegetable proteins)
