Molecular Structure::

Agaricus bisporus—known variously as the common mushroom, button mushroom, white mushroom, table mushroom, portobello mushroom, crimini mushroom, Swiss Brown mushrooms, also known as Cremini, Italian Brown, Italian mushroom, Roman Brown mushrooms, or cultivated mushroom —is an edible basidiomycete mushroom native to grasslands in Europe and North America. A. bisporus is cultivated in more than 70 countries, in China, it is cultivated widely.

Agaricus bisporuscontains a high level of beta glucans(Polysaccharides), compounds known for stimulating the immune system.

Beta-glucan is found in a wide variety of mushroom, such as Agricus blazei, Maitake, Reshi, Shitak, and other foods. The Agaricus bisporus Powder (Beta-glucan) used in dietary supplements is the powder the whole mushroom.

Benefits

•  Anti- Breast cancer

•  Enhance immune System

Mechanism

The common mushroom contains high amounts of Vitamin D(especially when UV-irradiated) and B vitamins.It also contains sodium, potassium, and phosphorus.Agaricus bisporus also contains conjugated linoleic acid and antioxidants.

A clinical trial is scheduled to take place at the City of Hope National Medical Center due to earlier research indicating that the common mushroom can inhibit aromatase, and therefore may be able to lower estrogen levels in the human body, which might reduce breast cancer susceptibility. In 2009, a case control study of over 2000 women, correlated a large decrease of breast cancer incidence in women who consumed mushrooms. Women in the study who consumed fresh mushrooms daily, were 64% less likely to develop breast cancer, while those that combined a mushroom diet with regular green tea consumption, reduced their risk of breast cancer by nearly 90%.

The table mushroom has also been shown to possess possible immune system enhancing properties. An in vitro study demonstrated the mushroom enhanced dendritic cell function.

Research at the Jikei University School of Medicine found that fresh A. bisporus contains small amounts of carcinogenic hydrazine derivatives, including agaritine and gyromitrin.However, this research also noted when cooked, these compounds were reduced significantly.

Safety

Agaricus bisporus Powder is safe for food supplements and health food uses.
