Mushroom Matrix Antioxidants

Antioxidants: All living organisms including horses are exposed on a daily basis to attacks by free radicals, also called reactive oxygen species. Survival and minimization of harmful effects free radicals requires a powerful antioxidant defense system.

Several of nature's most powerful antioxidants and synergistic enzyme matrix systems that do not exist outside unprocessed whole foods are found in significant abundance in certain specially-grown species of exotic, medicinal mushrooms.


• L-Ergothioneine (LE), a substance mushrooms have in abundance, is one of the most potent antioxidants in the world. ONE unit of L-ERGO equals approximately 7, 000 units of Trolox (water soluble vitamin E). What is most fascinating is that mammals cannot synthesize L-ERGO but contain a unique TRANSPORT SYSTEM to ensure delivery of this essential nutrient to key cells and sites of oxidative stress.

• Beta Glucans
- Potent and proven immune response potentiators and modulators.

• Polyphenols -
Potent biological response modifiers.
• Organic Selenium compounds - An essential trace element with important antioxidant and metabolic energy activity.

• Amino Acids - Essential amino acids occurring in mushrooms increase the biological value of equine feeds.

• Glycoproteins
- Key building blocks of the immune system, antibodies, hormones, connective tissue, and are important for cellular recognition and defense.


The effects and benefits of improved antioxidant and enzyme food matrix status are significant and include improved stress response as evidenced by improved mental focus, external bio-markers of improved health such as improved coat sheen, muscle tone, digestion, stamina, growth, recovery, and reproductive potential.
