Agaricus Blazei

Our Agaricus Blazei mushroom powder is a dehydrated hot water extract of the fruiting bodies and stems of the Agaricus Blazei mushroom. Agaricus Blazei is a powerful mushroom containing Beta 1-6 Glucans. Agaricus Blazei is originally from Brazil and has been used as a longevity tonic and folk remedy by indigenous peoples for many years. It has been reported that Agaricus Blazei contains anticancer properties and and help boost the immune system due to it's more complex and rich nature of Beta-glucans.

The active constituents are Polysaccharides. (1-6 linked proteoglycans extracted from the cell walls). Research has been done on water-soluble and fractions of the polysaccharides isolated through a hot-water or hot-water/alcohol extraction process. As with the other medicinal mushrooms, the active compounds in Agaricus blazei, the polysaccharides, are internal structural components of the indigestible cell walls. Extraction with a heated aqueous solution is required to release these active compounds into a bioavailable form. Our Agaricus Blazei mushroom powder product is a hot-water/alcohol extract, ensuring the presence of both the water and alcohol-soluble compounds. Healthy Nomad mushroom powder has a minimum of 20% polysaccharide extract and is a hot-water-extracted, guaranteed potency form of Agaricus blazei.
