Lentinan, a compound found in Shitake, is used as an intravenous anti-cancer drug with antitumor properties. Clinical studies have associated lentinan with a higher survival rate, higher quality of life and lower recurrence of cancer.

Betulinic acid has been found to be active against skin, brain, ovarian and head and neck cancers by promoting apoptosis, or the natural progression of programmed cell death. Cancer cells do not go through this natural life cycle and become immortalized and do not die.Anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor (cervical, uterine Ca), anti-viral, blood-sugar moderator, immuno-boosting, liver tonic. Most powerful adaptogen. An adaptogen is a substance which modifies the human body’s response to stress.

7. Lion’s Mane (Hericum erinaceus)  

  • Decrease tumor growth, Liver, colorectal, and gastric cancers inhibitor  Powerful immuno-modulators that support deep immune health. The specific active ingredients in the mushroom, including beta-glucoxylan as well as four other polysaccharides and polypeptides, are responsible for significantly enhancing the immune system and currently being research for their effects at decreasing tumor growth.

  • Nerve regeneration, remyelination, and increased Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Lion’s mane is a potent catalyst for brain tissue regeneration and  improve memory and cognitive functions

  • Improved digestive function and relief from gastritis

  • Anticoagulant; mild ACE inhibitor; improved lipid profile

  • Wound healing – less scar tissue, less white blood cells (e.g. no infection and pus formation), greater collagen level, greater density of new blood vessels

They are full of vitamins A, B6, C and also thiamine, niacin and riboflavin and also contain plenty of minerals such as: potassium, sodium, iron, copper, calcium and phosphorus. Copper is important for many different biochemical reactions in the body and also for the production of red blood cells, which makes these mushrooms valuable. Potassium found in high amounts in matsutake mushrooms is responsible for the healthy heart and muscles and provide the fluid balance in the body.
