The Science Behind Agaricus Blazei
Agaricus Blazei Murill is an edible mushroom native to Brazil and cultivated in Japan for its many benefits to better health and wellbeing. Scientists began a deep dive into these benefits after witnessing the incredible health and longevity residents of Piedade, Brazil experienced, which they attributed to the regular consumption of this amazing mushroom.
First reported to the scientific community in 1965, it wasn’t until 1980 that researchers discovered that Agaricus Blazei Murill produces unique polysaccharides, including rich levels of beta-glucans, which have been found to help support the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, killer T cells and monocytes/macrophages, promote healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and help maintain normal blood pressure.
Today, with numerous clinical studies, scientific research and testimony from the half million Japanese who use Agaricus Blazei Murill extracts, NutriMyco is excited to offer our concentrated Agaricus Blazei Murill Immunity Power Shot to help improve people’s immunity, sleep quality, physical performance and ease the effects of aging.
The Power of Beta-Glucans
NutriMyco’s Agaricus Blazei Extract is loaded with medicinal compounds known as beta-glucans, a class of complex sugars (i.e. a polysaccharide) that help comprise the cellular walls of fungi. Beta-glucans are the most well-studied medicinal compound in mushrooms and are scientifically proven to stimulate your body’s immune system.
Beta-glucans have also been associated with lower cholesterol levels, balanced levels of inflammation, improved heart and liver health and better insulin support and has been found to offer symptom support for patients suffering from issues like Crohn’s disease, diabetes and COVID. The mushroom has also been shown to improve quality of life in those undergoing cancer treatment by reducing side effects, such as poor appetite and weakness.
And the best news is…
Agaricus Blazei was found to contain the highest level of beta-glucans of any mushroom ever investigated.
After years of research and development, it has become one of the most popular superfoods in Japan and abroad for its many health benefits, especially for people who are immune-compromised due to illness or surgery.
