Fungi were from the first to wander the planet and store thousands of years of genetic information. Functional mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to promote health and treat various illnesses. These miraculous fungi possess the amazing ability to assist our bodies in weathering environmental stressors, conquering physical challenges, and soothing the occasional emotional strain.
Recent studies have shown that functional mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that have immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. These bioactive compounds include beta-glucans, triterpenes, polysaccharides, and ergosterols, among others.
