No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC-UV measurement of antcins and related triterpenoids, with LC-MS identity. Full testing to the USP Herbal Medicines Compendium monograph for Antrodia camphorata Fruiting Body is available and quoted.
Antrodia camphorata, Antrodia cinnamomea and Taiwanofungus camphoratus are names for the same fungus, and labels may use any of them.
The monograph lists Ganoderma camphoratum as a potential confounding material. The antcin profile is characteristic of Antrodia and helps separate it from other polypores.
Cultured mycelium usually has a different and lower antcin profile than fruiting body. The same method applies, and results are reported for the form received.
