Common Definitions
Adaptogen
Adaptogens are special herbs, roots, and plants, like mushrooms, that help our bodies handle stress and find balance again after we’ve been stressed out. Some common adaptogens in our formula include an Immune Mushroom Blend, Ashwagandha, Panax Ginseng, Schisandra, and Astragalus.
Antioxidant
Antioxidants help protect your body from damage to cells, proteins, and even DNA caused by stress and free radicals. Free radicals are harmful atoms produced by your body and from outside factors. This cell damage can worsen over time and may lead to diseases like cancer, blood vessel disease, and other chronic conditions. Many polyphenols and flavonoids, found in fruits and vegetables, are antioxidants.
Beta Glucan
Beta glucan is a natural compound found in the cell walls of certain plants, bacteria, fungi, and mushrooms. When consumed as part of a mushroom supplement, beta glucans support your immune system by activating key immune cells. Additionally, beta glucans help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support overall heart health. Incorporating a mushroom supplement high in beta glucans into your diet can be a beneficial addition to your wellness routine.
Bioavailability
Bioavailability refers to how much and how quickly your body can use the nutrients from a supplement or food you consume. It's like how well your body can absorb and make use of the good stuff you eat or take as a supplement. High bioavailability means your body can get more of the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.
Chitin
Chitin is a natural substance found in the cell walls of mushrooms and some other organisms. It is known for its structural strength and protective properties. In addition to these roles, chitin also acts as a prebiotic in the human body. As a prebiotic, chitin serves as a food source for beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting their growth and activity. This supports a healthy gut microbiome, which is important for digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. When included in mushroom supplements, chitin contributes to their health-promoting properties.
Triterpene
Triterpenes are natural compounds found in mushrooms that play a key
role in supporting your health. These compounds contribute to the beneficial properties of mushrooms by promoting a healthy immune system and providing antioxidant support. Our mushroom products feature Reishi, Chaga, Turkey Tail, and Lion’s Mane, all known for their high triterpene content.
