Agaricus Blazei Murill MushroomThe Agaricus blazei Murill Mushroom is native from Piedade city, a mountain region near to So Paulo, Brazil. It is known as "Cogumelo de Deus" (Mushroom of God) or "Cogumelo do Sol" (Mushroom of the Sun). It has been found to contain more beta glucan than both Reishi and Shiitake mushrooms. Because of this valuable polysaccharide, and lack of supply, Agaricus blazei is relatively expensive. Agaricus blazei mushroom specifically helps in production of interferon and interleukin, which are instrumental in fighting off cancer cell metastasis, especially cancer of the uterus. It also reduces blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and the effects of arteriosclerosis. The Beta Glucan found in ABMM is actually three different substances: - 1. Beta-(1-3)-D-glucan
- 2. Beta-(1-4)-a -D-glucan
- 3. Beta - (1-6)-D-glucan
