A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away? 🍄

Mushrooms contain immunoregulatory compounds that are natural regulators of inflammation for your immune system. Some examples of these compounds include terpenes and terpenoids, lectins, fungal immunomodulatory proteins (FIPs) and polysaccharides.

Mushrooms are also rich in dietary fiber, essential amino acids, minerals, and many other bioactive compounds, especially those related to the immune system.

Here are our favorite immune-boosting mushrooms:
-Agaricus blazei

Several studies have demonstrated the protective effects of herbals against experimentally induced liver injury. Additionally, a number of herbals show promising activity including silymarin against liver cirrhosis, Phyllantus amarus against chronic hepatitis B, glycyrrhizin for treating chronic viral hepatitis, and some herbal combinations from China and Japan that have been scientifically proven to be effective for treating liver diseases [78]. Silymarin, a reference drug, is a mixture of flavonoids and polyphenols. Silymarin has membrane-stabilizing and antioxidant activities, it promotes hepatocyte regeneration, reduces inflammatory reactions, and inhibits fibrogenesis. These properties have been established in experimental and clinical trials [79]. The compounds that are responsible for the medicinal properties of herbals are usually secondary metabolites.

Your gut microbiome is linked to many critical body functions such as the extraction of energy from foods, alterations in the appetite signaling pathway, involvement in host metabolic processes, host protection against pathogenic microorganisms and immune system development and function.

An imbalance in the gut can be related to many pathological conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, colorectal cancer, and more.

Mushrooms are rich in a compound called β-glucans, which is a prebiotic that helps restore and build your gut microbiome.
