Fungi are known for possessing an abundance of essential vitamins and nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D as well as B-complex vitamins like folate and B-12. Furthermore, beta-glucan polysaccharides such as ergothioneine and lupulin have antioxidant capabilities while powerful anti-inflammatory compounds also reside within.

Mushrooms are an all-natural immune booster, offering your body a healthy alternative to conventional medications for common illnesses like the flu, colds and allergies. Mushrooms may also reduce cortisol levels and promote stress-free living by aiding in managing chronic inflammation and oxidative damage in your body’s natural way.

mushrooms are one of the best natural sources of iron, providing 12 percent of your recommended daily allowance in just one cup! In addition, mushrooms contain high concentrations of niacin, potassium and vitamin D – three nutrients essential for bone health. In particular, mushroom-specific protein pleuran and ergothioneine provide anti-inflammatory benefits while beta-glucans boost immunity against free radical damage.

Mushrooms have long been used in Chinese medicine as an effective remedy, often prescribed to ease muscle, joint and tendon tension as well as treat backaches and impotence. Mushrooms also possess the unique ability to break down cell walls for easier digestion and absorption of nutrients – including Vitamin D as well as the amino acid Psilocybin which has been proven to prevent collagen breakdown and tumor formation.

Mushrooms such as oysters are rich in beta-glucans that support your immune system by acting like natural immune boosters, unlike certain foods which either overstimulate or suppress it. Mushrooms contain natural anti-inflammatory amino acid ergothioneine which reduces inflammation chemicals in your body while potentially preventing heart disease by blocking fatty acids from depositing plaque on blood vessels.

Mushrooms like oyster can help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system as they have been proven to lower blood pressure, triglyceride and cholesterol levels while improving blood vessel function. Plus they contain magnesium as well as essential nutrient vitamin D for calcium processing and storage in bones – this natural pain reliever has been demonstrated by decreasing prostaglandin production which contributes to muscle and joint discomfort.
