NFH Agaricus Bisporus SAP, 90 Capsules
Description
The white button mushroom is the one in every supermarket produce aisle — the most consumed mushroom in North America by a wide margin. It gets far less attention in the supplement world than reishi or lion's mane, which is slightly odd given how well characterized it is nutritionally. This is a concentrated extract of it.
The extract specification
A 5:1 extract standardized to 30% polysaccharides, providing 15% beta-glucans. Those numbers are worth reading carefully, because "mushroom supplement" covers an enormous range of quality. Many products on the market are grown-on-grain mycelium powder with a beta-glucan content in the low single digits. A stated beta-glucan percentage is the specification that separates a real extract from starch.
Hot water extraction
The beta-glucans in mushrooms sit inside chitin cell walls that human digestion doesn't break down efficiently. Hot water extraction ruptures those walls and pulls the polysaccharides into solution — it's the traditional method for a reason, and it's why an extract differs meaningfully from dried mushroom powder.
What's naturally present
Agaricus bisporus naturally contains ergosterol (the fungal precursor to vitamin D), dietary fibre, polyphenols and folates alongside its polysaccharide content.
Format
90 vegetable capsules. Non-GMO and hypoallergenic — free from gluten, soy, wheat, dairy, artificial preservatives, artificial colours and fillers. Made to pharmaceutical-grade standards in Canada.
Before you start
Don't take this if you have a mushroom allergy. Speak to a healthcare professional first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, or take immunosuppressant medication — beta-glucans interact with immune pathways, so supervision is sensible in those situations. Discontinue if any adverse reaction occurs.
Store cool and dry, out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
