medicinal mushrooms

The active ingredients in medicinal mushrooms stimulate the body’s immune system, inhibiting the formation, growth, and spread of tumors without side effects.

Traditional Far Eastern healers have long used mushrooms for their immune-boosting properties to treat various diseases.

These medicinal mushrooms have special properties and provide the body with necessary nutrients: vitamins, minerals, and proteins. These compounds are essential for energy production and the proper functioning of cells. Each fungus has different beneficial properties, with some being particularly useful in fighting cancer.

Researchers worldwide are increasingly studying these mushrooms. People have used medicinal mushrooms for thousands of years, reducing the fear of unexpected side effects.

Some natural plant-derived active ingredients, specifically unique polysaccharides found in these mushrooms, have already received approval as anti-tumor medicines in some countries (e.g., Japan).

Specific polysaccharides can cut off the blood supply to tumor cells, activate the tumor-killing functions of NK cells and phagocytes, increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce insulin levels, thus promoting patient healing.
