What are the beneficial compounds in Functional Mushrooms?Updated 2 months ago
The real power of functional mushrooms comes from their unique array of beneficial compounds—nature's own pharmacy tucked inside these remarkable organisms:
- Beta-D-Glucans are the superstars, supporting immune function and overall wellness
- Triterpenoids bring powerful balancing properties to help your body adapt to stress
- Sterols work behind the scenes to support healthy cellular function
- Statins (yes, similar to what's in some prescriptions, but naturally occurring)
- Nucleosides that support energy production at the cellular level
- Other secondary metabolites that scientists are still discovering and researching
At BATCH, we're fascinated by how these compounds work together—it's similar to the entourage effect we see with hemp. The whole mushroom offers benefits that isolated compounds simply can't match.
This is why we insist on using only 100% fruiting bodies in our functional mushroom products. We want you to get the full spectrum of these beneficial compounds, not just traces found in mycelium.
