Agaricus Blazei (Organic)

Agaricus blazei, also known as Mushroom of the Sun in Brazil and ‘Himematsutake’ in Japan, is a potent and powerful food that has been used for centuries to support immune function and vitality. This full-spectrum mushroom powder is rich in polysaccharides and Beta glucans, which have a strong modulating effect on the immune system (1). Agaricus has shown positive results on supporting allergy relief. It was found that Agaricus “may both prevent allergy development and be used as a therapeutical substance against established allergy” (2). This potent mushroom powder may support individuals who have “insulin resistance;” as research shows that Agaricus aims to balance our blood sugar levels (3). Agaricus has also been used to support healthy bones and overall function (3.) In a study on Agaricus, as an immune system ally, it was reported that “The mushroom contains valuable ingredients, such as essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, vegetable proteins… a total of 192 nutrients.” This functional food can be enjoyed daily as it may support our immune function, blood sugar balance, vitality and longevity. For those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have low blood sugar, it is best to consult your healthcare practitioner / herbalist before adding this mushroom to your routine.
