Capsules or Extract?
Agaricus blazei murill mushrooms are unique organisms, stationary like a plant, yet built from chitin (ki -tin) like the shell of a lobster. Understanding the properties of chitin is the key to understanding how to choose an effective, high quality medicinal mushroom product.

Chitin is indigestible by humans, yet the chitin, which makes up the cell walls of mushrooms, contains the potent immune building compounds common to all medicinal mushrooms, the polysaccharides. Indisputably, only heat can break down the indigestible chitin and release the active compounds into a concentrated, bio-available form.

Therefore Agaricus blazei Murill mushrooms are always prepared with heat and water, as a tea or a decoction and never used in the un-extracted form (as dried mushroom powder or dried mycelium powder), and never prepared as a tincture (soaked in alcohol alone in the absence of heat).

In the seventies, two researchers from Penn State visited the Sao Paulo, Brazil area and discovered the local natives to be extremely healthy with a very low rate of disease. The longevity rate was disproportionately high with people living well over 100. Their secret? It was a simple mushroom, they told the researchers, the agaricus mushroom (Agaricus Blazei Murill or ABM).

Active Ingredients of Agaricus Blazei
Beta-(1-3)-D-glucan, Beta-(1-4)-a -D-glucan & Beta - (1-6)-D-glucan. Known collectively as Beta Glucan, these substances are the most potent immunopotentiating (immune enhancing) substances yet found. 

Natural Killer Cells - Agaricus Blazei

By responding as soon as a damaged cell appears, natural killer cells defend the body while other immune cells are gearing up for action. Their radar system for detecting cells that need to be destroyed consists of a large array of related protein receptors. These activation receptors sit on the natural killer cell surface.


The active components of Agaricus blazei are believed to be its polysaccharides, beta 1,3-glucan and beta 1,6-glucan. These beta glucans are thought to stimulate immune activity, specifically the T-cell subsets.

The Agaricus blazei mushroom contains a specific polysaccharide called beta glucan. The beta-D-glucan and other polysaccharides specifically activate the immune system's cells (such as macrophages, interferon, T cells, and natural killer cells).

Everyone can benefit from enhancement of his or her immune system to provide a longer and better quality life. All of us are subjected to the immune suppressing action of aging, environmental contaminants, chemicals in food and water, disease and the stresses of a fast paced lifestyle. Agaricus Blazei mushrooms are nutritional dietary food supplements with an active ingredient proven by research to be an incredibly effective enhancing agent to the immune system.


Summary for Agaricus Blazei
Research studies over the last 25 years have shown Agaricus Blazei to stimulate the immune system and promote natural mechanisms to battle infectious disease. Agaricus Blazei stimulates lymphocyte T-cell and Helper T-cell production. The polysaccharide contained in Agaricus Blazei stimulates production of interferon and interleukin . Also, Agaricus Blazei turned out to be a very powerful antiviral agent preventing viruses from entering tissues.

 It contains much higher levels of beta glucans than the other medicinal mushrooms (Maitake, Shiitake, and Reishi). 

There are large numbers of patients for whom there are no effective allopathic treatments or for whom the available therapies are either poorly tolerated or only partially helpful. A physician who has the knowledge to help these patients is working with a tremendous advantage.
