Cancer Fighter

Shiitake Mushrooms are known to be a natural cancer treatment and one of the best foods for increasing "natural killer cells", which are the cells that destroy dangerous cancerous cells. Mushroom nutrition helps prevent DNA damage and stops cells from mutating, all while protecting and promoting healthy cells and increasing the body's ability to clean itself of unwanted substances.

Immune Booster

Mushrooms contain many compounds that enhance many of the body's systems and protects from disease. Some of these benefits include protection against viruses, inflammation, allergies, tumors, and much more. Inflammation alone is known to contribute to chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Mushrooms need to maintain high antibacterial and anti fungal compounds to grow in their natural environment, and those properties are passed to anyone who eats mushrooms. This is what makes mushrooms so beneficial to immune system growth and health. In fact, many substances in common antibiotics, such as penicillin, are derived from mushroom fungal extracts.

Heart Health

Bad cholesterol is a driving factor to poor heart health, and mushrooms are known to lower cholesterol, especially "bad" LDL cholesterol. This occurs because of the sterol compounds in mushrooms that interfere with production of cholesterol in the liver while raising levels of "good" HDL cholesterol. They also help keep cells from sticking to blood vessel walls and forming plaque buildup via potent phytonutrients found in the mushroom. This improves circulation and maintains healthy blood pressure.

Energy Enhancer

Mushrooms are a great source of B Vitamins, which help food transition into usable energy. B Vitamins also support the brain function that eliminates brain fog. Additionally, they can prevent thyroid disorders and support a healthy metabolism.
