Mushroom Immune Support - 60 capsules
Mattisson Mushroom Immune support contains the mushrooms lion's mane, shiitake, maiitake, reishi, cordyceps and chaga in combination with zinc methionine.
Lion's mane
Lion's Mane is a fungus that grows naturally on hardwood trees in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, Europe and Asia. Lion's Mane is also called 'wig fungus' in Dutch because of the long 'hairs' that hang down. The English name also refers to the mushroom's appearance, which resembles a 'lion's mane'.
Shiitake
Shiitake is a type of edible mushroom common in East Asian countries such as Japan, China and Korea. Shiitake mushrooms contain many essential nutrients, such as protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins B, D and K, selenium, zinc, iron and copper. In addition, shiitake mushrooms are rich in polysaccharides, mainly beta-glucans.
Maitake
Maitake (oak tenderloin) is an edible mushroom native to Japan, North America and Europe. It is a mushroom that mainly grows on the roots of hardwood trees, such as oak and beech. Maitake mushrooms are often considered a healthy food choice due to their high nutrient content. Maitake is also used as a dietary supplement due to its high concentration of polysaccharides, such as beta-glucans, which can have a prebiotic effect.
Reishi
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a mushroom that has been used in Asia for more than 2,000 years for its positive effect on health. Reishi is one of the best known and most used medicinal mushrooms. Reishi contains triterpenes and polysaccharides.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps is a type of fungus known for its unique life cycle and medicinal properties. Cordyceps fungi are parasitic in nature and mainly infect insects and other arthropods. The possible health benefits of cordyceps are attributed to its bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, nucleosides and cordycepin.
Chaga
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a mushroom that grows on the trunk of birch trees, from which it extracts betaline acid. Chaga does not look like a mushroom, but like a black/orange protuberance on the tree that is very hard. Chaga does especially well in cold, harsh climates. Chaga contains many different substances such as vitamins, minerals, phenols, enzymes and antioxidants. The substances in Chaga have a very high ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). The Chaga mushroom also contains many beta-glucan rich polysaccharides and active compounds such as betulinic acid.
Zinc Methionine
Zinc is one of the most abundant trace elements in the body and is essential for health. It is found in the bones, muscles, liver, kidneys and skin. The body cannot produce or store zinc itself and must therefore obtain sufficient amounts of this trace mineral from food.
Zinc supports the immune system, normal metabolism, is an antioxidant, contributes to normal memory, normal concentration and normal hormone balance.
Combining zinc and methionine increases the bioavailability and absorption of zinc in the body. This means that zinc methionine is better absorbed than other forms of zinc supplements, making it an effective way to increase daily zinc intake.
