Do you have shroom for improvement?

Research at the Pennsylvania Mushroom Research Laboratory found that mushrooms contain significant levels of ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant.

Ergothioneine, is heat-stable meaning it is present in both raw and cooked mushrooms.

Portabella and crimini mushrooms have the most ergothioneine, followed closely by white mushrooms.

For those of who do not like to eat mushrooms, we offer shiitake, maitake, reishi Myco Defense and Cordyceps

The term mushroom describes a variety of fleshy fungi of the class Basidiomycota. The culinary use of edible mushrooms dates back at least to early Roman times, and their medicinal use can be traced back for centuries in China. Though commonly thought to be of little nutritional value because they are mostly made of water, many types of edible mushrooms are now known to be sources of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. Perhaps more importantly, many edible mushrooms contain natural compounds with health-promoting properties.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and maitake (Grifola frondosa) are two popular mushrooms that contain beta-glucan (a type of polysaccharide). Both have been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbology for immune support.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is known as the “elixir of life” in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It contains polysaccharides, alkaloids and triterpene acids, which are thought to be responsible for its invigorating effects.

Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) is not a mushroom, but rather is another type of medicinal fungus that contains cordycepic acid. It has been traditionally used for vitality and endurance, and has become popular today with athletes.
