Agaricus Blazei Extract – A powerful support for the immune system and general health

Summary
Agaricus Blazei Murrill, known as the "Mushroom of God", has long been valued in traditional medicine in both Brazil and Asia. The mushroom is known for its immune-boosting properties and its high content of beta-glucans and polysaccharides, which can support the body's natural defense system. Uno Vita offers a high-quality extract of Agaricus Blazei, standardized to contain 30% polysaccharides. The extract has been specially developed to provide the best possible bioavailability and effect.

Benefits and effects

• Strengthening the immune system: The polysaccharides, especially beta-glucans, can help to activate macrophages and natural killer cells, which are important components of the body's immune system.
• Antioxidant protection: Agaricus extract contains natural antioxidants that protect cells against damage from free radicals and oxidative stress.
• Contribution to cardiovascular health: The extract may promote healthy cholesterol levels and support healthy blood pressure, which may help protect the heart.
• Support for blood sugar regulation: Research suggests that the mushroom can improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, which can be beneficial for blood sugar balance.
• Liver support: Agaricus acts as a natural liver protector by supporting detoxification and improving liver function.
• Anti-inflammatory properties: The extract can help reduce inflammation in the body, which can have a positive effect on conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases.
• Allergy support: Agaricus can help balance the immune response, which can reduce symptoms of allergies and hypersensitivity.

Extensive details and scientific background

Agaricus Blazei is particularly rich in bioactive compounds such as beta-glucans, ergosterol and polysaccharides. These compounds have been shown to have a number of health benefits:

• Beta-glucans: These complex sugar chains activate immune cells and promote a balanced immune response. Studies have shown that beta-glucans can help reduce oxidative stress and support healthy cell function.
• Ergosterol: This natural sterol has been shown to contribute to cell membrane integrity and may have antioxidative properties.
• Polysaccharides: These compounds are known to strengthen the body's immune system by stimulating macrophages and T cells.

Areas of use

• Strengthening the immune system at the change of season and increased exposure to infections.
• As part of a holistic approach to heart health and cholesterol regulation.
• For people who want to support liver function and detoxification.
• To support people with inflammatory conditions.
