Agaricus Blazei Mushroom Science

Agaricus blazei is the newest medicinal mushroom. Also called the Royal Sun Agaricus, this medicinal mushroom was first discovered in Brazil, where the native cultures prepared it as a tea for medicinal purposes, but also ate it as a food.  They have so much respect for this mushroom they call it "The Mushroom of the Gods".

In addition to the beta 1-3 glucan found in most medicinal mushrooms, Agaricus also contains a unique beta 1-6 glucan; this may explain the profound immune supporting health benefits documented in the published research.*

As with the other medicinal mushrooms, Agaricus blazei must be prepared as a hot water extract to be effective for immune support.*

Agaricus blazei is now cultivated the world over, but primarily in Japan and the United States. 

There has been some dispute over what the proper scientific name of this mushroom should be; Agaricus blazei or Agaricus brasiliansis.  However, I think we can all be certain that the mushroom itself probably does not care what people choose to call it.
We use careful chemical analysis of the extract to ensure that our Agaricus blazei extracts contain the same beta glucans and polysaccharides that were studied in the published research.
