They’re loaded with compounds that reduce inflammation, support immune health, and protect against cancer. And mushrooms are the only plant-based source of naturally occurring vitamin D.
Minerals such as phosphorus, sodium, and potassium are found in relatively high quantities in many mushrooms.
Mushrooms as Adaptogens
When our body is attacked by illness or disease, adaptogens help our body adjust to this physical, chemical or biological stress naturally. They stimulate our body’s stress protection response and help its system to return to a balanced state. Variety of adaptogens commonly used are ginseng roots, herbs like Ashwagandha, maca etc. The Key Medicinal Compound in Mushrooms are Beta-Glucans which confer a wide range of health benefits.

Some nutrients and vitamins in fresh mushrooms are destroyed when cooked over high heat. With mushroom extracts the health benefits and nutrients are not compromised. In choosing the right supplement, it is important to make sure that the mushroom extract is from the fruiting body rather than the mycelium as the fruiting body contains more active beneficial compounds that are more potent.
