Properties and ingredients of the pleurotus medicinal mushroom

This popular medicinal mushroom can be found in many parts of the world. It grows mainly on dead tree trunks, especially beech and oak, and has a characteristic oyster-shaped fruiting body, from which the name come from.

Oyster mushrooms are rich in valuable nutrients. In addition to amino acids, the mushroom contains several B vitamins such as niacin (B3), riboflavin (B2), pantothenic acid (B5), and folic acid (B9), which are important for metabolism and the nervous system.

It’s also a natural source of minerals such as potassium, iron and zinc, which are important for heart, blood and immune system health. The mushroom also provides important amino acids that are essential for building protein structures. The beta-glucan Pleuran is also one of the components in pleurotus.
