What are medicinal mushrooms good for? 

By digesting mushrooms, such as the ones mentioned before, you are taking in a compound known as beta-glucan. Medical research is constantly showing positive benefits medicinal mushrooms have on human health. Beta-glucans are a source of fibre, helping our immune system fight bacterial infections, reduce high cholesterol, help with cancer treatment, heart disease and even improve your skin’s health.

Medicinal mushrooms contain a prebiotic fibre that helps sustain the healthy bacteria in your gut. The fibre produces nutrients for your colon, making the digestive system healthier. This prebiotic fibre can also be known as beta-glucan, which is what we’ve mentioned above. Turkey tail contains strong beta-glucans, carbohydrates, xylans, vitamin d and galactans, which are all beneficial to your overall health.

By adding mushrooms like this to your diet, you will increase your intestinal and digestive gut health by a large margin. Edible mushrooms have low calories, sodium and cholesterol, and offer high levels of protein that boost your immune functions, and level out your blood sugar. Shiitake mushrooms are an excellent choice as a dietary food to maintain a healthy life.

Do mushrooms help gut biomes? 

Inside your stomach is a living culture of trillions of micro-organisms known as microbiomes. Some of the functions microbiomes exist for are stimulating the immune system, ridding your body of bad toxins in foods, and help pronounce and reinforce vitamins. Essentially, they help get rid of the bad bacteria in food, and help bring out the good bacteria in food to keep your body healthy. Seeing as mushrooms contain prebiotic fibres like beta-glucan, they are key to helping the microbiomes in your body to fight any toxins that may be in your body. 

Do mushrooms boost your immune system? 

Adding mushrooms to your diet or even by adding mushroom extracts to a coffee, tea or smoothie will add numerous benefits to your body and gut health. Mentioned above is the help mushrooms add to your microbiomes, which will, in turn, boost your immune functions. Your immune system has a strong reliance on how well the microbes in your gut act in accordance to breaking down foods.
