Lion’s Mane Mushrooms: Another Food for the Brain?

Edible mushrooms have promising health benefits. Some mushrooms such as maitake are traditionally used in China as a natural remedy for different ailments which can really cost you a fortune when treated using modern medicine. Here are the five main health benefits of maitake mushroom as proven by recent studies conducted around the world.

Weight loss Mycologists investigated on maitake mushroom’s effect on weight by feeding overweight rats with maitake powder. After 18 weeks, the rats have lost weight compared with the controlled subjects. Carbohydrates and cholesterol levels in the rats’ bodies were also found to be very low. This is due to the high lean protein content of mushroom that aids in burning cholesterol during digestion.

Cancer prevention Like other varieties of mushroom, maitake mushroom is believed to prevent cancer. It contains beta-glucan, a polysaccharide of D-glucose monomers responsible for enhancing the body’s immune system. It effectively activates white blood cells that fight the spread of cancer cells. Maitake mushroom consumed by cancer patients inhibits the spread of cancer with its chemo-protective effects.

Blood sugar control People with diabetes and hypoglycemia may also benefit from maitake mushroom as it may regulate blood sugar and blood lipid levels. A high-molecular polysaccharide called the X-fraction present in

is the one responsible for the reduction of insulin resistance and increase in insulin sensitivity. Such anti-diabetic properties of maitake were discovered through studies conducted at the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Home Economics, Nishikyushu University in Saga, Japan in 2001.

Lower blood pressure Another study on rats in 2010 found that maitake can be use to lower blood pressure. Hypertensive rats were fed with powdered maitake mushroom and their blood pressures were reduced after a few hours. Similar results were seen in an unpublished trial on humans, in which eleven hypertensive patients took 500mg of
Maitake Gold
pills twice a day.

Immune system support Aside from lowering bad cholesterol in the body, regular consumption of maitake mushroom was also proven to boost the immune system. Beta-glucans present in

products help activate macrophage cells, natural killer cells, and T-cells. These cells play significant role in preventing free radicals from harming the body.
