WHAT DOES IT DO?
Agaricus blazei is a mushroom with immune stimulating properties. It was originally discovered in Florida but Japanese cultivate it for cancer therapy and because it is deliciously edible with an almond flavor.
Research, begun in the 1990s, has also shown that Agaricus blazei contains a unique beta 1-6 linkage and contains the highest levels of beta glucan yet found in a medicinal mushroom. The common table mushroom is also an Agaricus species and should not be confused with this one.
CAUTIONS
Do not use if pregnant or nursing without consulting a health professional. Agaricus blazei polysaccharides are considered to be safe and nontoxic. However, immuno-modulating substances should be used with extreme care or avoided completely in organ-transplant patients utilizing immuno-suppressive agents.
