Health and Wellness

behind the scenes, terpenes and polyphenols play a powerful supporting role - offering antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and even neuroprotective effects. Let’s break down what they are and why they matter for your everyday health.

Your gut isn’t just where food gets digested - it’s a complex, living ecosystem made up of trillions of microorganisms. This gut microbiome plays a central role in everything from nutrient absorption to immune response and even emotional balance. And here’s the exciting part: beta glucans, a type of soluble fiber found in medicinal mushrooms, can help nourish and support this internal ecosystem - improving overall health from the inside out.

Beta glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides (complex sugars) found in the cell walls of certain plants and fungi, but especially in medicinal mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail. What makes beta glucans unique is that they are broken down differently than common sugars and starches. This small difference in chemical structure is what gives them their powerful effects on the immune system and overall wellness.
