Mushroom

For thousands of years, herbalists have turned to mushrooms to treat a variety of ailments. Today, much research has been focused on the link between the polysaccharides found in mushrooms and a healthy immune system. Examples of such extraordinary mushrooms include reishi, which provides cardiovascular support; shiitake, which enhances the immune system's ability to defend against invaders; and maitake, the most potent immunostimulant of all mushrooms.
