Description

Among the different types of mushrooms, oyster mushroom is one of the most cultivated species. Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) belongs to the family Agaricaceae and class Basidiomycetes. It is distributed globally, from temperate to tropical zones, and grows saprophytically at temperatures ranging from 12-32°C. Oyster mushroom is such a mushroom which is used both as food and medicine. It not only contains nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, various vitamins and minerals, but also contains several substances that are thought to influence health, such as β-glucan and several other polysaccharides. With the increasing research on oyster mushroom, oyster mushroom extract has also received great attention from researchers. At present, oyster mushroom extract is widely used as nutraceuticals, dietary and nutritional supplements.

Health Benefits

  • Promotes cardiovascular health

Emerging research hints at the potential cardiovascular benefits of oyster mushroom extract. The research suggests that it may have a positive impact on cholesterol levels, leading to potential benefits for heart health.

  • Helps alleviate inflammation

Inflammation is the body's defense response to external stimuli or stimuli within the body. However, excessive or prolonged inflammation can be harmful and can lead to the emergence of various diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Jedinak et al. have shown that oyster mushrooms can reduce the secretion of several inflammatory markers in the body [1]. This indirectly confirms the potential anti-inflammatory effects of oyster mushroom extract.

  • Supports better immune function

Unlike some foods that stimulate or repress the immune system, oyster mushrooms balance the immune system. The polysaccharides in oyster mushroom extract are known for their immunomodulatory properties, acting as guardians that fortify the body's defense against infections.

  • Packed with antioxidants

Oyster mushrooms also contain high levels of antioxidants, which fight the harmful effects of free radicals in the body. By neutralizing these free radicals, oyster mushroom extract may play a crucial role in reducing oxidative stress, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases and contributing to overall well-being.
