Mushrooms are the "fruiting body" of a fine root-like network called Mycelium, which is the actual fungal organism that can provide incredible medicinal benefits. Mycelium produces unique compounds, called polysaccharides, that are currently a major focus of study because of their potential as a preventive measure and as a first line treatment of cancers and other degenerative diseases.*Products containing Mycelia are currently on the cutting edge of new supplement development and are revolutionizing the medicinal supplement industry. There is ample historical evidence to suggest that Mycelium can help combat even the worst of diseases that were previously thought to be untreatable.
The health benefits of these mushrooms are due primarily to their polysaccharide components, as well as the production of many other beneficial compounds. Polysaccharide compound are long starch molecules that spark immune action that can help protect us against invading germs and abnormal cell divisions. These molecules help persuade the body to create beneficial T-cells. These powerful immune fighters destroy microscopic invaders and may help to slow or stop the production of abnormal cell growth.
