Oyster mushroom • 60 capsules

Like many mushrooms grown or raised in an environmentally friendly environment, oyster mushroom accumulates the entire necessary range of micro- and macroelements in its fruiting bodies. Including mushrooms in the diet is especially important for people living in urban environments and facing constant oxidative stress (disturbed sleep-wake cycles; nutritional imbalances and eating problems; chronic stress; adverse environmental factors; lack of physical activity). Therefore, mushrooms are a unique and extremely promising product of our time, capable of covering the whole range of nutritional needs of a modern person.

• Oyster mushroom is widely used in the food industry and is cultivated on a large scale throughout the world. First of all, it is known as a component of dietary nutrition that can satisfy a large number of human nutritional needs. The mushroom contains a wide range of minerals, polyphenols, B-glucans, essential amino acids; rich in vitamins B, C, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamin B12. These qualities make oyster mushroom a unique functional nutrition component and nutraceutical that supports the immune system, can be used as a basic adaptogen and source of antioxidants, and is suitable for daily use at any age.

• Like many mushrooms, oyster mushroom can have a complex effect on the manifestations of metabolic syndrome. It has a high content of lovastatin, a substance related to statins and having a pronounced lipid-lowering effect, reducing the risk of developing atherosclerosis and having anticoagulant activity. The mushroom contains a large amount of fiber, which also allows you to bind excess cholesterol and remove it through the intestinal lumen. It is worth mentioning the hypoglycemic activity of oyster mushroom, which in some studies is equated to the effect of metformin. Such a wide spectrum of activity allows us to call oyster mushroom an ideal preventive and therapeutic agent that allows us to correct several metabolic imbalances and disease states at once, such as diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hypertension, etc.

• Oyster mushroom contains branched chain amino acids. (BCAA), y-aminobutyric acid (CABA) and ornithine. The presence of branched-chain amino acids makes oyster mushroom an excellent element of sports nutrition that can improve physical performance and endurance during training.
and help build lean muscle mass. Ornithine is also important for athletes, it participates in the urea cycle, reducing the concentration of ammonia in the plasma, is involved in the synthesis of growth hormone, promotes weight loss and regulates the immune system in the body. The GABA molecule is involved in the Krebs cycle and acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, relieving excess arousal in the brain, increasing the ability to concentrate and maintain attention on tasks.

• Oyster mushrooms contain record levels of antioxidants glutathione and ergothioneine, as well as active polyphenolic compounds (gallic and chlorogenic acids, naringenin, etc.). Glutathione can rightfully be called one of the main anti-aging molecules, which comprehensively protects our body from toxins and the effects of oxidative stress, prolonging the youth of organs and tissues. It plays a critical role in the detoxification of a wide range of toxic substances in the liver, including heavy metals and drug metabolites. Glutathione also protects the cells of our immune system from damage, supports erythrocyte function, regulates apoptosis processes, has a direct anti-inflammatory and antiviral effect, and regulates redox processes inside the cell. With age, the synthesis of glutathione in the liver slows down and the body is increasingly exposed to external aggressive factors. Therefore, it is so important to maintain its level throughout life and consume foods high in it.
Ergothioneine is another extremely important antioxidant molecule that is found in many mushrooms, but oyster mushroom is the champion in its content. A 2006 Japanese study found a correlation between increased consumption of mushrooms high in ergothioneine and a lower incidence of dementia. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the potent neuroprotective capabilities of ergothioneine, in which it reduced amyloid B-induced neuronal death and damage. Due to its high content of ergothioneine, oyster mushroom can also protect the eyes from the development of cataracts, reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and protect the kidneys and liver from damage.

• Oyster mushroom beta-glucans, such as pleuron, exhibit high immunomodulatory activity by increasing lymphocyte proliferation and macrophage activation, which makes this mushroom an excellent cancer prevention agent and an adaptogen with immunomodulatory activity. This mushroom also has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial properties.
