TEN POWERFUL MUSHROOM SPECIES – ENDLESS POSSIBLITIES FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Mushroom Matrix has a unique ability to combine 100% organic fresh mushrooms with 100% organic dehydrated mycelia mass in order to optimize the life cycle of the mushroom and all of its natural intelligence. Each species has powerful antioxidant potential as well as specific physiological benefits.

1. Agaricus blazei: Also known as Himematsutake - a tropical mushroom species renowned for its high beta-glucan content and its stimulating effect on immune function. It has been found to be useful as an alternative & complementary therapy for sugar-centering conditions such as diabetes.
2. Antrodia camphorate: A very rare mushroom native to Taiwan that is very high in antioxidants. Research has demonstrated a wide range of healing activities including anti-cancer, anti-asthma, anti-allergenic, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fatigue, anti-toxin, and anti-inflammatory effects.
3. Cordyceps militaris: A powerful performance-enhancing mushroom used by many professional athletes which increases the body’s hemoglobin production and increases overall circulation. This species has been reported to have higher levels of activity than the more well-known species, Cordyceps sinesis. Cordyceps militaris also helps combat fatigue and can increase sexual function.
4. Ganoderma lucidum: Also known as Reishi or the “mushroom of immortality.” This mushroom is highly regarded for its adaptogenic and chronic disease fighting capabilities. Reishi has been recognized by the Japanese government as an approved adjunct herb in the treatment of cancer.
