Polysaccharides (beta-glucans)
In vitro / AnimalMechanism of Action
Immunomodulatory beta-glucans with anti-ageing activity; activate macrophages and enhance immune surveillance
Immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective beta-glucans; produce significant recovery from alcohol-induced liver damage in animal models
Research Notes
Honey MushroomMushroom
High polysaccharide content in mycelium; demonstrated immune-modulating and anti-vertigo activity in animal models.
Shaggy InkcapMushroom
Hepatoprotective activity demonstrated in animal models of alcohol-induced liver damage. Immunomodulatory activity also documented.
