Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom extract, from the fruiting body, standardized to 40% polysaccharides. No grain, no mycelium on grain, no fillers. 4 oz, 56 servings.
What is agaricus blazei mushroom used for?
Agaricus blazei was eaten as a food in the hills of São Paulo state in Brazil long before it was studied, and it has been grown in Japan since the 1960s. It is best known for its beta glucans, a type of polysaccharide, which have been studied mostly in cell and animal research and in a few small human studies; that is not enough for us to claim an effect. What we do say is on the label: fruiting body extract, standardized to 40% polysaccharides, and the lab report checks it.

How people use it
A serving is 2 g, about a teaspoon. Stir it into coffee, tea or cocoa, blend it into a smoothie, or add it to soup, broth or gravy. Earthy, nutty, mild. Keep the jar sealed and dry.
Fun fact: Agaricus blazei is called Cogumelo do Sol, the sun mushroom, in Brazil. Other Agaricus species grow wild across North America, but this one is found wild only in Brazil and Japan.
